the latter absolutely needs to be excised from politics
Um, the last 3?
What about the troops?
Oh and she is for strict gun control and fell for the "gun show and internet loophole" propoganda.
Jesus
I'm just catching up on this morning's politics shows... Andrew Marr, what a cock
LOL, Marr thought he was going to do to Farage what Andrew Neil did to Ben Shapiro... Fail ! ! ! The reason Marr failed is because he was trying to achieve a gotcha in bad faith - Andrew Neil was simply holding up a mirror to Shapiro and asking him to explain his hypocrisy.
i saw my granny earlier and she said farage was good on andrew marr
is she right?
I need to see the unedited version, but yeah, he showed how Marr was trying to get a gotcha instead of asking about the here-and-now issues facing us.
I don't get why all the Britons support Neil when he was digging up years old tweets over an interview.
farage was definitely in full flow on question time on thursday
Ah, because Shapiro was being a hypocrite - that's what Neil was exposing
That is the leftist playbook.
no, not at all, it was proper journalism
Okay so how have you changed over the last 7 years?
Neil was holding up a mirror to Shapiro and asking him to explain himself
I don't mind accusing Shapiro of hypocrisy. I don't like how it was done.
Holding up tweets from many years ago is kinda a fucked tactic. As peoples views change.
We shouldn't dig through tweets 7 years ago, why? Look at Kevin Hart.
The mistake would be to say Andrew Neil is in line with the rest of the BBC - and that's where everybody and their dog have got the exchange wrong with Shapiro
He did reply once to that effect, but Neil kept at it.
yes, it was all related to the subject of his new book
i'm watching it on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRNjotba5UY now
It is very difficult to understand UK politics as an American, when our politics are so different.
We barely get a break from our own idiots in politics to get a chance to see how everyone else works.
Marr bothered to ask Farage about ...guns?
<:what:382980756139409409>
If Shapiro actually wrote the book, he was advocating for peaceful, harmonious discourse between political groups... Neil was setting out that Shapiro is very divisive in how he chooses to interract, which is hypocrisy.
To Shapiro, the guy does sound Leftist. To me, he is one, he is well left of American conservatives.
and that's the problem, expecting everybody else to cow-tow to American definitions
I think that that cultural difference was missed
i didn't get to the guns discussion yet
Or expecting an American to know that your left is different.
Shapiro set himself up as an expert - he is fair game
Our media never leaves our borders, we barely get shown how the rest of the world thinks
I will probably do a video to explain how Shapiro fucked up so bad.
Okay, so you say your tweets from 7 years ago are fair game right?
Incidentally, when I was watching it live, I thought Shapiro was partly justified - but when watching it again, it was actually worse
yes, when it provides context for how people choose to interract with others
Is it the one where shapiro gets wrecked liberal style?
