What about the troops?

2019-05-12 14:54:18 UTC  

Oh and she is for strict gun control and fell for the "gun show and internet loophole" propoganda.

2019-05-12 14:54:34 UTC  

Jesus

2019-05-12 14:55:29 UTC  

I'm just catching up on this morning's politics shows... Andrew Marr, what a cock

2019-05-12 14:55:44 UTC  

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.

2019-05-12 14:55:54 UTC  

i saw my granny earlier and she said farage was good on andrew marr

2019-05-12 14:55:56 UTC  

is she right?

2019-05-12 14:56:41 UTC  

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.

2019-05-12 14:56:53 UTC  

I don't get why all the Britons support Neil when he was digging up years old tweets over an interview.

2019-05-12 14:56:54 UTC  

farage was definitely in full flow on question time on thursday

2019-05-12 14:57:30 UTC  

Ah, because Shapiro was being a hypocrite - that's what Neil was exposing

2019-05-12 14:57:36 UTC  

That is the leftist playbook.

2019-05-12 14:57:51 UTC  

no, not at all, it was proper journalism

2019-05-12 14:57:59 UTC  

Okay so how have you changed over the last 7 years?

2019-05-12 14:58:17 UTC  

Neil was holding up a mirror to Shapiro and asking him to explain himself

2019-05-12 14:58:40 UTC  

I don't mind accusing Shapiro of hypocrisy. I don't like how it was done.

2019-05-12 14:59:05 UTC  

Holding up tweets from many years ago is kinda a fucked tactic. As peoples views change.

2019-05-12 14:59:20 UTC  

We shouldn't dig through tweets 7 years ago, why? Look at Kevin Hart.

2019-05-12 14:59:34 UTC  

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

2019-05-12 14:59:36 UTC  

He did reply once to that effect, but Neil kept at it.

2019-05-12 15:00:03 UTC  

yes, it was all related to the subject of his new book

It is very difficult to understand UK politics as an American, when our politics are so different.

2019-05-12 15:01:31 UTC  

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>

2019-05-12 15:01:59 UTC  

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.

2019-05-12 15:02:28 UTC  

To Shapiro, the guy does sound Leftist. To me, he is one, he is well left of American conservatives.

2019-05-12 15:02:57 UTC  

and that's the problem, expecting everybody else to cow-tow to American definitions

2019-05-12 15:03:05 UTC  

I think that that cultural difference was missed

2019-05-12 15:03:17 UTC  

i didn't get to the guns discussion yet

2019-05-12 15:03:34 UTC  

Or expecting an American to know that your left is different.

2019-05-12 15:03:55 UTC  

Shapiro set himself up as an expert - he is fair game

2019-05-12 15:04:12 UTC  

Our media never leaves our borders, we barely get shown how the rest of the world thinks

2019-05-12 15:04:17 UTC  

I will probably do a video to explain how Shapiro fucked up so bad.

2019-05-12 15:05:11 UTC  

Okay, so you say your tweets from 7 years ago are fair game right?

2019-05-12 15:05:31 UTC  

Incidentally, when I was watching it live, I thought Shapiro was partly justified - but when watching it again, it was actually worse

2019-05-12 15:05:51 UTC  

yes, when it provides context for how people choose to interract with others

2019-05-12 15:05:56 UTC  

Is it the one where shapiro gets wrecked liberal style?

2019-05-12 15:06:14 UTC  

epic liberal style***

2019-05-12 15:06:24 UTC  

That is a leftist response.
