[There is a lot of booing from the audience]
Paul Merton: Did you hear that booing?
Linda Smith: Yes.
Paul Merton: [to William] Did it register with your brain, that booing?
William Hague: I was Leader of the Tory party long enough to learn how to ignore booing.
Paul Merton: You weren't very popular then? Why do you think that was?
William Hague: Just because I tell jokes doesn't mean you should have political opinions.
