There's a general, kind of... In the media,

0:00:02.879,0:00:05.682
there's a lot of that kond of stuff people don't know about numbers,

0:00:05.682,0:00:08.127
I'm a numbers guy, I'm a dweeb, all right? I apologise.

0:00:08.127,0:00:10.062
I'm a bit of a nerd about these kind of things

0:00:10.062,0:00:12.353
I get really pissed off when people give out about, like

0:00:12.353,0:00:15.744
crime going up, when say, the numbers are definitely going down.

0:00:15.744,0:00:17.609
And then if you go "The numbers are going down," they go,

0:00:17.609,0:00:20.501
"but the fear of crime is rising."

0:00:20.501,0:00:22.848
And you're going, "but so what!?" You know what I mean?

0:00:22.848,0:00:24.706
Zombies are at an all-time low level,

0:00:24.706,0:00:27.492
but the fear of zombies could be incredibly high.

0:00:27.492,0:00:31.440
It doesn't mean we have to have government policies to deal with the fear of zombies,

0:00:31.440,0:00:33.020
It's ridiculous, for Christ's sake.

0:00:33.020,0:00:36.270
The NHS... There was a survey in the NHS about dentistry, where they found that

0:00:36.270,0:00:38.016
some people were removing their own teeth! You know...

0:00:38.032,0:00:42.388
And they brought on some senior dentists onto Sky News, and gave out to him, and said

0:00:42.403,0:00:46.334
"This is terrible, People are removing their own teeth!" And this guy stood there and went

0:00:46.334,0:00:48.868
"Well, obviously systems should be put in place to deal with it."

0:00:48.868,0:00:53.831
Which is stupid! He should be going "Well, these people are clearly morons of the highest line"

0:00:53.831,0:00:54.851
[Laughter]

0:00:54.851,0:00:57.757
"Who removes their own teeth, for Christ's sake?

0:00:57.757,0:01:01.858
I'm a dentist, I don't remove my own teeth, y'know what I mean?"

0:01:01.858,0:01:05.482
But there's kind of a notion that everyones opinion is equally valid. My arse!

0:01:05.482,0:01:10.124
Bloke who's a professor of dentistry for 40 years does not have a debate with some idiot

0:01:10.124,0:01:14.118
who removes his teeth with string and a door. Alright? It's nonsense.

0:01:14.118,0:01:19.273
And it happens all the time with medical stuff on the television. They'll have a doctor on

0:01:19.273,0:01:21.316
and they'll talk to the doctor, and they're all "doctor this, and doctor that" and

0:01:21.316,0:01:22.988
"what happened there" and "doctor, isn't it awful?" Right?

0:01:22.988,0:01:27.168
And then the doctor will be talking about something, with all the benefits of research and medical evidence.

0:01:27.168,0:01:32.926
And they'll turn away from the doctor, in the name of "ballance", and turn to some

0:01:32.926,0:01:39.196
quak, witch doctor, homeopath horse shit peddler on the other side of the studio.

0:01:39.196,0:01:40.360
[Laughter]
