I actually went in to a bookshop today to buy the book. I asked the assistant what section it was in; she said, "well, 3 actually...fantasy, true crime and fiction".
Johnson demonstrated: he doesn't listen. He doesn't want to listen. He is not interested in debate. He will not acknowledge other views. Classic narcissist.
the fact that he happily travelled the world for years on an American passport & only renounced his US citizenship after they demanded he paid the taxes lawfully owed to their government tells you all you need to know about the man's character
I forgot how awful BoJo was until this just reminded me. How was he PM of this country? Even more scary is he wasn’t even the worst Tory Pm of the last three years 🤦♂
the head of the UK's vaccine development has said that there was no impediment from the EU to the UK developing or approving is own vaccine for sale in Britain alone. The vaccine argument is plain baseless.
It's all theory. What Johnson is saying it would never have happened. All this "it could have happened" so why didn't any EU country do it then if it was so easy???
@@85ABC It is catagorically not all theory, it is fact. You do remember when the first vaccines were administered in UK, don't you? I'll give you a clue: It was December 2020 and we were still in the EU. Also, to your second point, Hungary approved Russian vaccines for their own use before the EU's collective vaccines were approved by the EMA. Because it was a collective EU plan, the EU's vaccines were half the price that the UK paid for our vaccines, solely due to the sheer volume of orders. Not only that, the majority of EU countries had outstripped the UK's vaccination program within three months. Johnson is a lying POS.and you are still being taken in by him. Enjoy the book.
This could have been a much better experience for Times viewers/listeners if the interviewer had not interrupted Johnson so much to assert his own opinions and judgements. The skills of the older generations of interviewers seem to be lost. But allowing an interviewee to talk and relax can often lead to much more revealing insights, especially when a skilled questioner then teases out even more.
The only reason why he’s doing any interviews, is to plug his book He wouldn’t go near anyone unless there’s something in it for him. He’s only doing it because he has to, with his publishers or rake in the coin
Can someone explain to him that we had both EU access and Sterling before Brexit, so it only highlights the stupidity of leaving when keeping Sterling is his best argument for not re-joining.
I'm 5 minutes in to the interview, and not sure if I am going to watch the whole thing. I don't see it mentioned in the comments, but was it discussed his plans to invade the Netherlands, that's next level bonkers stuff, that I haven't heard talked about enough.
Boris is the ideal Times Radio man. For truthfulness and intelligence and honesty, those 3 talents that Boris is totally devoid off, makes Boris the Ideal Times Radio man.
On the polls point, they've been saying people would vote to remain since September 2016, not just recently. But we never had a second straight vote, so it's been twisted one way or the next over the years to ignore the new popular position and deny the brexit betrayal. People knew they were lied to in 2016, before it came into being... They rejected the tories in 2017, 60% of the electorate rejected the tories in 2019. Leave parties lost in the EU elections and most recently the tories have been wiped out at this year's election. Also on the vaccine, within a couple of months the EU had outdone the UK on the number of vaccines administered, so Johnson is being very selective with his stats
I felt sorry for Stig having to be in the same room as this toad of a man. I have been equally as unfortunate and all he wants is to be the centre of attention and have an audience. He doesn't want to hear your point of view and believe me he won't. Actually, toad isn't a bad description - if he was a fictional character he would be Toad of Toad Hall.
It's disappointing to me that he allowed the convict to swerve the argument about the vote in a referendum timed now into a discussion about rejoining. I wish he'd stuck with the original point about the vote to not leave rather than to rejoin.
If he had a normal background he would be the type of bloke who stands at the bar and is entertaining for about 5 minutes then you take the long way round to the toilet to avoid for the rest of the evening
Is Boris trying to be thick on purpose? It's like uncanny valley watching someone who is genuinely thick but is so much of a narcissist that he thinks he is actually hyper intelligent trying to act thick?! It's hilarious to watch and listen to. It's like watching a child try to lie and gaslight you into believing that they didn't eat all of your chocolate while having chocolate smudged around their mouths.

Some rules for interviewing Johnson. Don't laugh at his jokes, don't fall for his faux classicism, and his excuses, don't fall for his distractions. Fact check him, go straight down the line all the time. Like many fraudsters he'll become evasive and aggressive, but keep going.

I'm 6 minutes in and he can't say a single word of truth nor answered the actual question. Same old Boris....bs and bluster. This interview reminds me why I'm so happy he is no longer in politics
Stig Abel is a radio commentator I very much appreciate and enjoy listening to his morning show on Times radio. I was somewhat disappointed at his style of questioning today pointing a finger and being in my opinion too aggressive. A softer style of questioning might have been more effective in getting Boris Johnson to cover more topics. I am not a supporter of Mr Johnson but he has an eloquent command of the English language while maybe not having too many other attributes.
Why the f*** are you inviting any hosts when you become so defensive? Take A different approach dudeYour anger is glaring. Chill, dude. Be more professional. "Your regime?" you tell Johnson, your choice of words says it all. Perhaps you need to look for a different job if you can't handle this professionally. 😮
Sorry Boris but no matter how much you wave your book around I still would rather stick pins in my eyes than give you the money for it or even read it for free.
I thought he was quite funny and rather impressive. For all the venom that TR must have for arch Brexiteer Bojo poor Stiggy couldn’t lay a glove on him. Whether you like Bojo or not, think he was a good PM or not, he’s clearly world class.
The chap says a poll would have us rejoin the EU. Erm... do they not remember the polls were wrong before. Amazing how we use these "polls" as "this is what would happen" - how many times are they actually correct at predicting major decisions?

Watched 30 seconds and realised it was just going to be the usual drivel and turned it off!
For Johnson, it's only a game. A debate. Here he's trying to get the interviewer on his side, rather than answer the questions.
