A principled, cold thinker and analyst . Exactly the kind of man we used to have to lead and tell us the truth in our murkiest areas of public life. And a great writer. Praise him ,read him while we still have hin hale,lucid and clear.
My mother who's 90, speaks very highly of this wonderful man. A great writer and the type of man we need today in our country - not the dregs of the world as we are lumbered with today.
Fascinating man. After DOJ my personal favourites are The Dogs of War and The Fourth Protocol. Astonishing complacency and stupidity by civil servants not to have closed the passport loophole until 30 years after he published it.
That passport loophole was used by the Labour MP John Stonehouse to fake is death and get a new identity in the mid-1970s. Turned out he was also working for Czech intelligence.
In the novel The Dogs of War , Frederick Forsythe also details how to obtain weapons and how to smuggle them into an African country to facilitate a regime change .He certainly does his research
A wonderful author and I wonder who you debriefed on your Malawi trips. I always had the idea it was to do with the Rhodesian bush war, reporting back to MI6. I always suspected that it was a senior Rhodesian special Branch man who had been personally recruited by David Owen. I guess we will never know!
If the UK would have opposed independence or didn't want to give up our empire then you wouldn't have got it. Funny how Nigeria is still in he British commonwealth though.
If you remained in the British commonwealth those nations should have no problems at all with us your silly living in the past when what you have today and billions of people across the world have today what you have today because of it and nation states to call home now.
People don't choose the family they're born into. JRM speaks clearly and at least you can understand what he is saying. This country has thousands of different English speaking accents. His is just one of them. Don't cut your nose to spite your face, he's interesting.
Really, what a timely interview JRM, and a load of propoganda to boot. People really need to do their own research on the not so good, holier than thou once British imperialistic old colonial Empire
Indeed. Rather poor not to know about the Kukri. My father had a nice collection of kukris gifted to him from various campaigns in Borneo and Malaya. They used to hang on the walls of his home office. He was an instructor at Sandhurst for 2 years after serving in Vietnam, being an Australian and graduate of RMC Duntroon etc…all in the distant past, when the Cold War did become hot.

A brilliant author and doing very well for his age.
A fascinating man…and superb author!
Fantastic writer. What FF fought against during the Cold War has just reemerged in a more pernicious form.
Yes..from bliar, then throught 14 years of faux tory pondlife and now the traitor starmer.......
Thank you! Fascinating interview. I love a Frederick Forsyth novel.
I wonder what his opinion is of Britain of today 🤔
A great author.

Fantastic insightful interview Jacob Rees Mogg always perceptive wordsmith with his channel.
What a guy he would inspire anyone ❤❤❤
One of the great writers......
I can easily expose the actual threat: Wan Kier and Labour!!
All hail Obi Wan Keir Starma
All Fail Starmer !
Fascinating in view of what is happening to the UK under Starmer!
In the novel The Dogs of War , Frederick Forsythe also details how to obtain weapons and how to smuggle

the real threat is swarming our streets screaming ali snackbar, he's just plugging another of his discount tesco shelf books...yawn
💯%
And in Westminster
Islamophobia.
@@MRW515 true, starmer is not just a traitor he's a monster
17:50 he's describing what's happening now
Love his books!!! Wonderful man,
Pointing towards Dover showed a security threat fookall was done as per
Wow.
What a coup.
Two great men together.
He’s a national treasure now look at the trash we’ve got none of them will step up to defend our lands
Yes, lets talk about the past as if there's nothing to see currently. The greatest danger Britain and the British face is what's happened now.
"All the police under Putuin " quote does this not sound familiar in uk under this government ? ? ?
Just a thought
Yes national service should be compulsory
Really are you offering?
Mr Forsyth supported Biafran Independence during the civil war in Nigeria. Britain opposed it
And?
@@MRW515 Forsyth was correct, Britain was wrong.
Kemi still managed to get here, Britain failed

Loved the film with Edward Fox, but Redmayme isn't the best actor to create a new Netflix version at all, bad script writing & acting! 👎
🥱
i;d watch it if Mogg wasn't talking. His voice... Over indulged

@francescostello1337 you are obviously not a British 🇬🇧 born citizen.
@@Marth281😂😂😂
Along with Colonial countries like Italy, Egypt, Ottomans, French, Spanish, Chinese, Russia.😊
@frances, Are there any other colonial countries you would like to name? Did your own country do anything you would like to mention?
Daggers? What? JRM clearly knows zero history! A pretender, not unusual for a polittat!
