(Nicola is now talking about her Fourth Sector Initiative.)
What we would be looking for is getting people to inspire each other out of poverty, out of disadvantage.
(somewhat cynically) How can you be inspired out of poverty?
Well, I'm choosing to ignore your rather cynical tone...
I'm not being cynical, Nicola Murray. It's a perfectly legitimate question. How can you be inspired out of poverty?
Okay, you are being cynical, but anyway, we'll park that. Um, one of our initiatives is to designate certain people as fourth sector pathfinders. Now they would be pillars of a normal community.
Are you talking about "have-a-go heroes," for example?
No, we're talking about everyday heroes.
I assume you'd want to avoid Charles Bronson-style vigilantes?
(chuckling) Oh, yes. Yes, we don't, we don't want Charles Bronson. More, more, Charles, uh...Dance.
Okay.
Or Chaplin, yeah?
