And so it's hard for me to actually spend downtime, go to the theatre, just do leisure or, you know, read a book for the sake of reading a book and stuff because they were go-goers.”

“And to not be a shurker, basically. And so all of us not just had a really good work ethic still do. All of us also, it's interesting, I just think about this the other night have given something back, whether it's coaching and boxing or whether it's, you know, volunteering at a swimming club, whether it's, you know, politics or whatever, because that came from our parents and what we saw in relation. And also what we saw was going on the estate and what our friends were doing and stuff. And, you know, The interesting thing about our estate was everyone worked. All the dads worked. Most of the mums had a job. And, you know, there was a work ethic and a sense of community. I'm not pretending it was brilliant or roasted into glasses and stuff. But yeah, so, you know, my wife often, you know, jokes that, you know, I can't sit around doing nothing.

“My favourite from upstairs on the wall. Yeah, so I think you tend to. Mirror emulate. Be like those you're around. You copy their mannerisms, their behaviours and so forth, and I was raised in a family where we felt incredibly privileged. My mum and dad both made sure we understood that this privilege meant we had a responsibility to listen to your teachers at school, to work hard.”

“I first lived a mile up the road in the Henle Princess Estate on a council estate. My parents moved a mile the other way afterwards when my dad managed to save a deposit for a house and I now live a mile and a half from where I was born. So I've literally gone a mile radius right from where I was born. My grandparents and my parents had this huge strife and travel all this way. So I'll be the first con in three generations and not to be a migrant because I'm staying here.”

“My dad decided he was in the Pakistani Air Force. He went first to Australia. Any Australians watching this, this is no espersion on your country. It's a great country, right? He didn't really like Australia. And so when he went back to Pakistan, he didn't want to go to Australia to live. He came And he made London his home. And this is a London which, yes, when he first came, there were signs saying no blacks, no Irish, no dogs by blacks, anybody who wasn't white. And when I compare my mom and dad who traveled, you know, three, four thousand miles, learned a new language, learned a new culture, raised a family. I was born in Tuton, in St. George's Hospital.”

“And the story of India is India was part of the British Empire. And the short version of the long story is in 1947 the British decided to give up India and partition India. I don't want to go into divide and rule and stuff, but there had been sectarian violence now between Muslims, Sikhs, and Hindus, and a Muslim in India wasn't safe. Like a Sikh and Hindu, generally speaking, in West Pakistan and Ethiopia won't say why because these countries were going to be ostensibly Muslim and the Middle India ostensibly Hindu and Sikh. So my grandparents and great-grandparents left everything behind, everything behind. So, my parents had experienced being immigrants once already, right? From India to Pakistan, and they had a comfortable life in Pakistan, middle class, upper middle class.”

“So, first, it's a pleasure to be on this, Stephen. Can I just say two things before we start? It's not me being a sycophant, and please don't think I'm being patronised. But firstly, I think you realize that you're a massive role model to so many Londoners. And there are people that you will never meet. You've had an impact on, and so thank you firstly for that. And I meet people that you don't meet who, when I say who's your own models, and I pray you in A to give examples of the hard work you do. So thank you for that. But secondly, congratulations. It's always lovely to meet somebody who's incredibly successful, who's normal. So my family's story is quite complicated. My grandparents and great grandparents were in India. Both of my mum's side and my dad's side.”
