He was Incredibly rude. It’s okay to disagree with someone and give your opinion but he blatantly just insulted his work and practically told him that he was finished. What an insufferable guy.
He also kept saying "quote unquote" before attempting to quote something, making him sound like a moron. He and other presenters need to learn how to verbalise quotations.
Fiona could so easily have intervened in what had become a prolonged diatribe and attack on one this shows most distinguished guests. One wonders if perhaps the producer was grinding his own axe here. David Dimbleby wouldn't have tolerated such rudeness and perhaps on going forward, Fiona too might learn that her guests are reliant on her to intercede in a more timely manner. Andrew should be commended for his stoicism and professionalism. Well done Sir, for my glove would most certainly have slapped the cheek of my accuser in this instance, the ignorant swine.
Nels thankfully remembered his props but fluffed the lines that had been written for him. Shambolic bbc rubbish. Still what do you expect for £3,750,000,000 per annum.
He’s just another ideologue who resorts to name-calling and ad hominem attacks. He has no ability to debate without misrepresenting them. These people are so predictable.
GB news is a great channel and it's getting better. Most people that dispise it either have never watched it, or looked at it once for a few minutes. The BBC, Channel 4, Sky News, etc, view this channel as a threat as it gathers pace. All the channeks debating shows I've seen appear to provide balance to an argument.. something you never see with the BBC and its cancel culture in silencing views that the overpaid producers disagree with.
I've watched GB News a few times. It really doesn't seem that bad to me and I think of myself as liberal/left wing. I think the real problem is that anyone or anything which doesn't follow a woke agenda or questions that agenda is labeled as right wing, bigoted, etc
Yup - and contrary to what Neil says there’s plenty of good reporting on Fox too - including Tucker Carlson. Certainly no more ‘fake news’ than you’ll find on BBC, CNN or MSNBC which is almost exclusively curated leftwing spin & opinion posing as news. Would rather watch the Young Turks - at least they’re honest about their leftwing bias.
@@brickmissing8295 Yes, I understand FOX is a highly partisan opinion channel but they don't hide the fact. I like Neil, but when he repeats the mantra Fox is all "conspiracy theories" and "fake news" he - like so many other detractors - never goes into specifics or provides details to back up that claim. Like Peter Hitchens - who I also like - there's that tendency amongst British conservatives to instinctively (and uncritically) cringe away from "garish" American right-wing media.
@@brickmissing8295 Even Tucker Carlson says he tells lies for his audience. He fooled you. There's a difference about being open about your position and 'bias'. with is also different from lying to fit an agenda

Having said that in the main his comments are widespread and intelligent thinking. Some folks can present others are better commentators. (Tom)
It peddles the same nonsense that Fox News does. Blaming the EU or Remain voters for the country’s ills, and giving the government a free pass on everything from Partygate to PPE cronyism.

Andrew Neil is a colossus of British journalism. Never heard of Nels Abbey. His main qualification for appearing on BBC QT seems to be being black and can write a book. He can string s few words together but when you drill down he really doesn't say anything of note and anything that can be qualified. This patronising tokenism of parading youngish black people with a chip on the shoulder be they authors, poets, or activists does nothing but reinforce a stereotype. If the BBC wants to be more representative concentrate on the likes of Trevor Phillips, Kwasi Kwarteng, or Bill Morris (if still able), Dominic Carter of News UK, or Christina Luciaga at HSBC. Unfortunately the Labour party has a number of black MPs who just do not "cut the mustard". The likes of Lammy, Webbe, Butler, and Abbott really won't help anyone.

Yes, so let's just stick with "respectable" liberal organisations like the BBC, who throw single mothers into prison for non-payment of the licence fee, and spends 25 years ignoring grooming gangs in the north of England.

The rudeness and arrogance on display here is staggering. How pompous and arrogant of Abbey (WHO?!) to tell Andrew Neil that he is effectively finished in terms of his reputation and standing as a journalist. How dare he second guess what the public opinion on Andrew Neil is. Whilst the latter will always be respected as a prominent first class journalist, Abbey is nothing more than a smug, rude mediocrity. Andrew Neil deserves much credit for not displaying anger here, I suspect many would have done so in similar circumstances.
“Is it because they were going to far to the right, is it was they were going to far to the right” It’s ok for BBC to lean further and further to the left. On our dime I hasten to add.
The thing that annoys me about that term is that it is meant to imply that there are members of society who are purely reactionary, unthinking and ready to treat others inhumanely. In actuality it's the person who says it who is engaged in reducing the humanity of other people by likening them to reactionary animals.
Andrew Neil does a Meghan Markle. 'Woke' is an insult in many minds and if you want to know why try sitting in on Andrew Doyle's 'Free Speech Nation" on GBN and in particular his long form interview with Helen Pluckrose. Its not soundbite television.
"Woke" meaning to be aware, coined by the black communities in America. Its no insult, only to racists and those who hide the fact of systemic racism and social injustice built into a system. Woke to be aware of social economic injustice and racial based disparities.
Bit ashamed that Andrew Neil is one of “Jock Tamson’s Bairns… even more surprised that Nels Abbey thinks that Fox News has “decent production values” wtf 😳😂
GB News is really good, it's becoming better, more professional, and slicker. It may have been that Andrew leaving was the best thing that could have happened to it. Nels Abbey does not seem to know much about Fox News.
Somewhat odd that Andrew Neil seems to dislike GB news so much and offers little defence for the channel, and yet he has appeared as a guest on the channel at least twice this week. I think Andrew's made the wrong decision leaving GB News. He was the headline star act. He could have run his show the way he liked and accepted other shows on the channel were going to have a different theme. He would have brought more and more viewers in as regulars and would likely have had more creative control of the channels overall output and direction that he desired. But no he abandoned it. Disappointed in him personally. Got me questioning whether I will renew my Speccie subscription now. Allowing those clowns to smugly sneer and label a channel, I highly doubt any of them have watched more than 5 minutes of, as divisive for doing nothing other than simply putting forward differing sides of important topics that the MSM constantly fails to do. Sure they are more conservative/right views, but they are the views of many in the UK and deserve to be discussed openly. 'Oh they're divisive because we disagree with them' - Pathetic. These people aren't fit to be in politics, they don't even grasp the basics like free speech and democracy.
Well said. The Spectator and Neil are typical of so called "conservatism" in this country. They want to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds. Meaning, they want to push back against the metro-liberal "woke agenda" whilst still being considered 'respectable centrists' by the same metro-liberals, and signalling against the "evil right-wing" Fox. Douglas Murray, Neil's co-editor at the Speccie is always on Fox "fake" News. Moral cowards, the lot of them!
@@TheRealist2022 You say that, Mr Realist, but despite being any numpty, she doen't really make a very good job of that eighter? She obviosly nows FA about antiques for a start. That might help a little?
I have to say I’d never heard or seen Nels Abbey before so I’ve no idea what his agenda is but to come on a show with some utterly pointless newspaper clipping, in a frame, the guys has some serious issue with Neil. Whatever his beef is is unclear since he just rambled about nothing in an attempt to goad Neil for audience applause, which fell completely flat. GB News might’ve turned out to be rubbish but you can hardly blame them for the worlds problems which is what I think Abbey was insinuating - most of the audience had, in all fairness to them, probably never even seen GB News!
So, rather than give a straight answer, Andrew Neil invites others to make up their own minds about where BG News is headed, his role in it, and why he left, but when someone does just that he objects. Can't have it both ways, Andrew.
Classic example of the BBC box ticking and putting an individual on the panel who is confident enough to sound erudite but then exposes his limitations the moment he opens his mouth, and they wonder why the public are turning their programs off.
True but GBN is a biased as it comes I'd swear if bojo came on the Dan Wootton show the man would shove his nose so far up his ass we'd struggle to see him

“You don’t know me.” Enough said.
The great thing about GB news they are the best at long in depth conversation on difficult topics. Less shouting, less aggression. Honest debate. I'm a "classical Liberal" and I love it.
And for the Conservatives most people are and I understand why it's needed in the market place
“Classical liberal” -code for chronically online incel
@@jakesummers1174 Try reading the works of Milton Friedman or Adam Smith to understand what liberalism actually means. Then you might be less crude in your remarks in the future.

Some random honest Internet guy.
@@JR-rv3xr Milton Freidman was only right about one thing and that want even his idea and Adam smith wasn't what you would consider a classical liberal.
If you are going to try and take over a comments section (which is a complete waste of time) at least try and hide the fact you are using the same 16 id's you created to boost your post.
@@JR-rv3xr Errrr... Thatcher & her advisor, Alan Walters, were keen advocates of monetary policy, & free market Friedman-style economics. Thatcher would be turning in her grave, right now, at your assertion that such policies were founded on a liberalistic basis - utter nonsense!
Go to GB news and make up your own mind.
Did love it
I did, it’s rubbish.
i consider myself liberal and i love watching GB news just as much as watching debates on sky news and BBC news, i notice yet again theres no one there standing up for GB news???
Andrew Neil stood up for GB News, then he saw his 'anti woke agenda' is only attractive to bigots and got out.
Yes, so let's just stick with "respectable" liberal organisations like the BBC, who throw single mothers into prison for non-payment of the licence fee, and spends 25 years ignoring grooming gangs in the north of England. Because, you know, only 'bigots' care about white girls getting raped on an industrial scale in placed like Rotherham....
Yeah, cos it's a bucket of wank. Abject failure. Utterly devoid of anything useful to say. Literal bigots shouting into the void. Good riddance.

Andrew Neil is a fantastic example of what journalism should be.
He’s a tosser.
Yeah.. Shame he didn't write a report on himself visiting jeffrey epstien's Island on multiple occasions.
@@Uratotalbellend LOL He's completely owned.
@@Uratotalbellend oh is that BS back ? Musta been some island to fit all the people the left don’t like onto it
GBN is only ‘too far to the right’ if you live at the Left Pole.
These guys are sooooooo shaken by GB News
Not shaken, just amazed it flopped so badly. It was meant to be smart non-partisan content, but within a few weeks it was 98% right wing run almost exclusively by Brexiters.
@@tommorgan7599 yep....as non partisan as the BBC...got it👍
Just in case you haven't noticed, NOTHING! is non partisan. Everyone has their own values and beliefs... even an ardent atheist, whose values spring from that belief.
So, yes, go on... delude yourself
@@tommorgan7599, The channel is widely reported to be getting higher viewing figures than it's rivals.
‘Shaken’ it its an utter failure?
@@Alex-pt5no, The viewing figures suggest otherwise.
Nels made a real fool of himself- I was embarrassed for him.
Because he exposed Neil as a racist? 😂😂
Butthurt gammon
@@danielisanzu9864 how was he exposed as a racist. Provide the evidence we are all waiting!
@@polaris7122 GB News is a racist supporting channel that panders to the flag waving bigots who love to complain about immigrants, The EU and anything to do with diversity. I mean you have Farage at the helm and that speaks volumes about who the channel is targeting.
@@danielisanzu9864 so anything that disagrees with your point of view is 'RACIST'. I repeat the question to you, how was Neil exposed as a racist on this program. In other words provide the evidence or shut up!
Better than being a british cnn
Lol I can't believe how many woke buzzwords he fitted into his diatribe
So Andrew feels another news network deals with fake news, conspiracies etc.......then appears on BBC.pahahahaha Irony isn't wasted on the desperate!hahaha
This guy needs to string a sentence together without stuttering. Has he managed to say dog whistle politics yet?
Hear
(But at least you spelled the past tense correctly).
Race baiter Nels,chip on his shoulder,not fit to lace Andrew's boots,like a little schoolboy.
Fox News mentioned you’ll find a lot worse 😂😂
The rudeness and arrogance on display here is staggering. How pompous and arrogant of Abbey (WHO?!) to tell Andrew Neil that he is effectively finished in terms of his reputation and standing as a journalist. How dare he second guess what the public opinion on Andrew Neil is. Whilst the latter will always be respected as a prominent first class journalist, Abbey is nothing more than a smug, rude mediocrity. Andrew Neil deserves much credit for not displaying anger here, I suspect many would have done so in similar circumstances.
calm down .......black guy was right ....
Never heard of this Nels bloke and, hearing his stumbling, sneering attempt at making a point, I know why
“Is it because they were going to far to the right, is it was they were going to far to the right”
It’s ok for BBC to lean further and further to the left.
On our dime I hasten to add.
Sorry, but just who was that Pratt who simply wanted some air time to embarrass himself by criticising an honest answer from Neil?
Scrap the licence fee now.
It's funny how those who talk about 'dog whistle politics' are usually the ones who hear the whistle...
The thing that annoys me about that term is that it is meant to imply that there are members of society who are purely reactionary, unthinking and ready to treat others inhumanely. In actuality it's the person who says it who is engaged in reducing the humanity of other people by likening them to reactionary animals.
A writer who stumbles over metaphors and resorts to cliches.
Andrew Neal wanted to present his show from his home in the south of France, GB news didn’t allow him so he threw his toys out of the pram
Who is this Nels fella anyway?
The best advert GB News could have wished for....
GB News is pretty good actually.
It's a bit one sided, don't you think?
andrew neil destroyed his reputation by coming back onto BBC to have a whinge
Nels seems very arrogant and self opinionated.
Andrew Neil does a Meghan Markle. 'Woke' is an insult in many minds and if you want to know why try sitting in on Andrew Doyle's 'Free Speech Nation" on GBN and in particular his long form interview with Helen Pluckrose. Its not soundbite television.
"Woke" meaning to be aware, coined by the black communities in America. Its no insult, only to racists and those who hide the fact of systemic racism and social injustice built into a system. Woke to be aware of social economic injustice and racial based disparities.
Bit ashamed that Andrew Neil is one of “Jock Tamson’s Bairns… even more surprised that Nels Abbey thinks that Fox News has “decent production values” wtf 😳😂
Surely their production values are fine, it’s their editorial values you take exception to?
@@sensational_cellar8606 You are right, his comments don't seem so weird now lol
GB News is really good, it's becoming better, more professional, and slicker. It may have been that Andrew leaving was the best thing that could have happened to it. Nels Abbey does not seem to know much about Fox News.
Somewhat odd that Andrew Neil seems to dislike GB news so much and offers little defence for the channel, and yet he has appeared as a guest on the channel at least twice this week.
I think Andrew's made the wrong decision leaving GB News. He was the headline star act. He could have run his show the way he liked and accepted other shows on the channel were going to have a different theme. He would have brought more and more viewers in as regulars and would likely have had more creative control of the channels overall output and direction that he desired. But no he abandoned it. Disappointed in him personally. Got me questioning whether I will renew my Speccie subscription now.
Allowing those clowns to smugly sneer and label a channel, I highly doubt any of them have watched more than 5 minutes of, as divisive for doing nothing other than simply putting forward differing sides of important topics that the MSM constantly fails to do. Sure they are more conservative/right views, but they are the views of many in the UK and deserve to be discussed openly. 'Oh they're divisive because we disagree with them' - Pathetic. These people aren't fit to be in politics, they don't even grasp the basics like free speech and democracy.
Well said. The Spectator and Neil are typical of so called "conservatism" in this country. They want to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds. Meaning, they want to push back against the metro-liberal "woke agenda" whilst still being considered 'respectable centrists' by the same metro-liberals, and signalling against the "evil right-wing" Fox. Douglas Murray, Neil's co-editor at the Speccie is always on Fox "fake" News. Moral cowards, the lot of them!
GB News, for all its faults, it's not going to throw me into prison for not paying for its advertised products - unlike the "unbiase" BBC.
Andrew Neil's excuses are lame. he gave no clear explanation ....
He wanted to do fact based journalism. Gb news wants to be the U.K. Fox News
Andrew is used to dealing with nincompoops, after all he worked with Diane Abbott for several years.
The black guy is an arrogant..... Charlie, Uniform, November, Tango!!!

Why do black people keep pulling out the race card ? That’s become old hat now and nobody takes any notice you have outplayed the word .
Isn't that the point GB is not woke and therefore has none of the aggressive bigotry of the woke culture.
Say what you want about the Abbey chap, he definitely rattled Andrew here. More than some of you like to admit.
I have to say I’d never heard or seen Nels Abbey before so I’ve no idea what his agenda is but to come on a show with some utterly pointless newspaper clipping, in a frame, the guys has some serious issue with Neil. Whatever his beef is is unclear since he just rambled about nothing in an attempt to goad Neil for audience applause, which fell completely flat. GB News might’ve turned out to be rubbish but you can hardly blame them for the worlds problems which is what I think Abbey was insinuating - most of the audience had, in all fairness to them, probably never even seen GB News!
That is one Richard head. Expect him to get a regular slot on the BBC , he seems to tick the required boxes
GB News tells the news that the BBC news will not .it's straight forward and to the point
So, rather than give a straight answer, Andrew Neil invites others to make up their own minds about where BG News is headed, his role in it, and why he left, but when someone does just that he objects. Can't have it both ways, Andrew.
"I left for the reasons I've given" - he just avoided giving those reasons and told people to decide for themselves!
Nels abbey what a twat.. Make up out own minds, yeah GB news is great, obviously difference of opinon on what direction to take it seems like.
It is a classic and well known debating technique because the opponent can never be right
That nels guy got a bit carried away with himself didn’t he lol he was shaking
It's a shame she doesn't address the same questions to herself and the BBC News producers.
I disagree with Andrew about Fox news he needs to examine the alternative which offers exactly what Andrew accused Fox of being.
