The interview ends like this:
Sopel: Have you read your manifesto?
Lord Pearson: Of course.
Sopel: Really.
Lord Pearson:Yup.
Sopel: You don’t seem very familiar with it.
Lord Pearson: I haven’t remembered it all in great detail. I didn’t come on to talk about this sort of thing.
I guess that’s what Ukip means by Sod The Lot.
