GB News host lights up cigarette live on air in bizarre anti-Labour rant

ディクテーション。

I’m one of those people, that if you tell me I can’t do something, that’s exactly the thing that I’m going to do.
I think many of you are the same, which is why even though I'm an avowed non-smoker. If Labour win and they'll try ban smoking.
I will see that as the test case for freedom and I pledge to take up this filthy habit just to annoy them. Arrest me. Why don't you?
In fact, why don't I give it a go right now. Just to get some, you know, practice under my belt. What do you think? How does this work?
Mark my words. Under a Labour government our freedom will go up in smoke.

こんなに短いのに。正確にわかってないなあと思う。
報道英語じゃないこういうトークの聞き取り力を高めないとなんですよね。

極右も極左も極端な人たちは面白いのですが。
右の方々の英語は、グローバルで多様化した環境では通じないものが多そうなので、試験に出ないし、ビジネスでも使えない。英語学習上は非効率かも。
右は上級者向け。ほどほどにしよう。英語学習は左傾化必至。
