She panics. - We always knew that about her. 258 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,473 She got carried away. Straight choice to make between being strong or being liked. 259 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,430 - She made the wrong choice. - But even so, sending such a stupid email? 260 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,239 That's what I'm saying. Pure panic. 261 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,757 If I can't get export licences for fighter jets 262 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,589 then I choke to death. 263 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,354 And Britain chokes with me. 264 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,352 What are you saying?
