'Mr Hitchens, I won't tell you which one' 😂 Legend
Alex's style is clearly inspired/influenced by Christopher Hitchens. I do sometimes wonder if this similarity, this reminder of his brother, is what caused the Peter Hitchens rage quit.
I think that's a genuine possibly, though I can't decide if that makes his hissy fit funnier or sadder.
I think he’s just a bit of a diva really. There are plenty of interviews where he seems to just dislike the interviewer right away and is then incredibly rude to them and decides to be outraged about innocuous things.
He didn't have an answer about drugs and crime in Portugal and realized he's been outmatched by someone he didn't think was worthy and he snapped.
That’s actually a very interesting analysis.
@@gow2ilove erm they absolutely didn’t.
Interesting and thoughtful analysis of Peter’s view of the Tories.

Tories came 4th where I live in Scotland.
It is like a different country.
By seats yes but it was very close. On votes however they were 3rd with 350k VS LD at 250k and SNP at 700k
The stache must go forthwith! Unless it is accompanied by the beard.
In any discussion about voting systems I find it utterly infuriating how binary the choices are presented between PR and first-past-the-post when in reality there are a plethora of alternate systems. In a UK context it would seem entirely consistent with the constitutional arrangements to have preferential voting. Regard should be had to the Australian system for the lower house where minority governments are relatively rare but there exists scope for independent voices in the senate which is elected by a modified and regionalised PR system
I suspect because it historically was the Lib Dems trying to rig the system to favour them as the "not the other" party. I find it amazing how many people want electoral reform but can't actually describe the system they'd adopt why it would be good (By no means do I mean you!). There're some really big advantages (as well as problems) with first past the post but they're rarely discussed seriously
I think a strong argument could be made for proportional representation in the lower house as a better representation of democracy in action. Minor parties would need to form coalitions to affect a majority government. Now, whether that's a better system in practice is a different question. And yes the Australian senate is proportional representation. The New Zealand lower house has the model that I just described above. New Guinea too I believe.
What's his opinion on drugs?
firmer laws and persecution of addicts etc
I actively dislike viewers that don't give this video a thumbs up
I believe they are called flat-earthers.
I disliked the video just for you. And then blocked the channel so I never have to come back. And turned off all notifications so I won't even know if you responded to me. Enjoy your apples.
I’m gonna thumbs up now
Don't forget to storm off with your backpack(like a stroppy teenager) and ride your bicycle home.
"Left wing politics" Starmer is NOT left wing. He is centre right. The Tory party is 100% right wing.
no, he is far left
@rkdeshdeepak4131 Show me some of his "far left views." He refused to reverse the 2 child benifit cap! He ain't Labour, or Left😂 he quotes Margaret Thatcher ffs. He is a Tory dressed as Labour. The real Labour party got destroyed from within. Jeremy Corbyn was "fat left," not SIR Tory Starmer.
@rkdeshdeepak4131 Jeremy Corbyn was far left.... Starmer quotes Thatcher and refuses to reverse the 2 child benifit cap...he is about as far left as Winston Churchill was. 😂
@@topcat5553 They should get rid of child benefit altogether and start providing stamps/rations for school equipment, clothing and food.
Inshallah I agree 😂
Peter Hitchens is never right about anything.
That's a stretch there is a long list of things he is and has been right about.
But he has been telling us that he has been predicting the UK's demise for the past 20 years and is "the official biographer of Britain's demise". 😁
@@alphabetaxenonzzzcat A nation state can spend a long time falling apart before everyone agrees it's happening.
