Brian Cox: “The United Kingdom is Over”

AND THAT, THE FAINTEST HINT OF A SMIRK, HAS SET THE INTERNET ON FIRE.

IT'S GONE VIRAL.

WHAT THE IS ALL THAT ABOUT?

IT'S THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, HE HAS A SPEECH AND HIS SON ACTUALLY KIND OF DRAGS IT OUT OF HIM.

HE SAYS DO YOU THINK I COULD HAVE EVER RUN COUNTRY -- THE COMPANY, AND HE SAID, WELL, THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU'RE NOT A KILLER, YOU KNOW, AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE A KILLER MENTALITY, AND -- AND IN A RAY IT'S LIKE GIVING THE ROW VERBAL TO THE PROVERBIAL AND HE SAYS THE SON GOES AWAY AND EVERYBODY INTERPRETS IT'S A JUDAS KISS AND HE GOES OFF AND BETRAYS HIS DEAD.

HE'S KIND OF.

ARE YOU SURE THIS ISN'T MURDOCHIAN?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW, I THINK THAT'S LIVE AND ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN, WHAT YOU WANT FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND HOW YOU WANT THEM TO SURVIVE AND IT'S ABOUT THE SURVIVING MECHANISM THAT COMES IN.

I REMEMBER WITH MY KIDS, STILL HAVE TEENAGE KIDS BUT I'VE GOT OLDER KIDS AS WELL THAT I REALLY WANTED THEM TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AT 16 SO THEY CAN GET ON WITH THEIR LIVES.

GOAL, 16.

I WAS THE SAME.

I WAS OUT OF THE HOUSE AT 11 BECAUSE MY MOTHER WAS -- MY FATHER DIED WHEN I WAS 8 AND MY MOTHER WAS INSTITUTIONALIZED SO I WAS OUT OF THE HOUSE SO I HAD TO LEARN TO BE A WESTERN, YOU KNOW.

WE'RE VERY LUCKY.

I ENVY PEOPLE WHO HAVE A PARENT AND I PLAY PARENT AND I GO I'M NOT THE GREAT.

AND I SAID DON'T YOU LOVE -- THAT'S THE KEY TO HIM.

HE LOSS OF HIS CHILDRENLY PEEPERY AND HE CREATES A WORLD FOR HIM, THE WORLD OF ENTITLEMENT, AND WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME ON THE NEWS.

VERY QUICKLY WE'RE SEEING IT ON THE NEWS, ENTITLEMENT.

SOME WOULD SAY THE BREXITEER COME FROM A VERY LARGE BACKGROUND.

DON'T GET ME STARTED.

YOU ARE SCOTTISH.

YEAH.

YOU ARE VERY PASSIONATE FOR -- DO YOU THINK IT'S SOMETHING ON THE TABLE NOW.

I THINK IT'S NO LONGER A UNITED KINGDOM AND.

I WAS A LABOR MAN AND GREAT SOCIAL IT AND I DID ALL OF THAT, AND I WAS THE HUBRIS OF HONEY WHAT THEY COULD OF DONE WAS INCREDIBLE
