Before you comment; Yes I know about the Parliamentary System, I'm Canadian, we have the same thing. If you listen to Sophy Ridge she even says 'we're picking a leader' in the clip - it's a different way of phrasing it. Your system doesn't need to be explained to the viewer, I assume you all know how it works.
the reality Nick its a 9 / 12 points lead - Tele/Mirror/Independ all shows that. Its a Tory Government will still get in and UKIP/Lib Dems have dropped showing their supporters are returning to Labour. At best it will be a Tory government with thin majority in the house, and possible coalition. But since Labour has a reasonable manifesto (not progressive enough for me) but still behind a shitty Tory government that has fucked anyone long enough, does speak volumes about what people think about Corbyn (pro-Islamist) and his half-witted shadow cabinet. My only wish is when Labour lose yet again with tit Corbyn as leader, Labour will then reshape itself into an electable party with principled MPs in the shadow cabinet. Besides, under 25 years (who majority would vote for Labour) aren't good at getting out of bed to vote, but the 35+ who majority vote for Tories are (2015/Referendum shows that). www.dropbox.com/s/s8uxm7kwtlgn8hk/Screenshot%202017-05-27%2018.21.48.png?dl=0
Remember the redrawing of constituencies means !about has it hard. They must regain many Kippers. Not that likely. "Pessimism the intellect, optimism of the will" as usual for pro left.
Antony Masters Jeremie Corbyn is not an "Islamist". There is absolutely no evidence he seeks to "promote a way of life that follows the rules set out in the religion of Islam" (that is the definition of "Islamist"). He is not even a Muslim, he's an Atheist. It's easy to claim something when you provide zero evidence for your claims.
Corbyn takes the tone of a teacher dealing with a very dull-witted child who has been eating the paste from the arts and crafts cabinet. "Now, can you tell me why it's not good to eat the paste, Sophy?" Haha!
Well stop complaining. Though they are trying to stop it ( Government, big business ) you live in the internet age you don't have to listen to these left and right corporate media cunts. Their are tons of independent journalists to get your news from with admittedly various degrees of quality, just pick your flavour.
oh agree - UK has 3 Christians as party leader, and pro-Islam leader... We are fucked. But I rather have a religious people who belongs to a cult that has been through reformation than the one that hasn't and takes leadership from Iranian and Saudi religious leaders.
Spoken like a true delusional faith follower... illogical and half-witted. 1. its extremely unlikely any western country would fire nukes. We know the damage. 2. Us not firing nukes doesn't mean others (religious persuasion) who see us and our decadent western ways of equality and human rights may like to use them. 3. Picking a political leader should be based on human rights, equality for women, protection of children and LGBT&I rights - not that they support islamic terrorist groups and doesn't like EU. and to think halfwits like you have a right to vote.... we are fucked.
he can't be touched. he's a man of thorough integrity. he's a genuine, conscientious human being and he cares about people. and he's fucking intelligent.
Lynne Gill They ruined everything here in America, too. Fox News was the beginning of the end for us. Corporate neoliberal propaganda is no better than North Korean propaganda, with their reporters screeching about the magnificence of Dear Leader. A tiny cabal of very rich people now control western politics.
this is hard to watch! i mean im asking myself how this is even allowed? it's just beyond stupid and obvious that she is just trying to smear him! WE NEED JERMEY SOOOO BAAD!!!!
You exaggerating so is embarrassing. Try to apply reason to this, emotion has left Labour this vulnerable, lost touch with its working class and, therefore, the country.
Corbyn is brilliant! Sophy needs to do her homework before trying to smear him. Maybe she should not try to smear him and ask him about Labour's proposals if elected. Vote Labour for a saner society!
You need better reading material to correct your inaccurate opinion. Check out Labour's fully costed Manifesto verified by independent Economic institutions for more details.
Yes, your 1st message dazzles us all in its literal magnificence and complexity, and you must have spent a great deal of time coming up with such a deep, profound and thought provoking comment. I take my hat off to you Sir, how dare anyone suggest that such an intellectual powerhouse as yourself could possibly be a troll. It's plain to all with a modicum of brightness that those disagreeing with your shakespearean like message just fail to grasp the subtle nuances and hidden depths of your statement...I tremble like a virgin on her wedding night in anticipation of a possible response from you...Just one slight criticism if I may...I don't think Corbyn is actually a muslim...
No, Gary, it's worse. People are getting sick of being told how to think. The Murdochs of this world have overdone the smears, and the backlash is happening for that reason.
I agree it is a shame that the public arena is abused thus since in the end it does none but a few very rich do well. I still think you overstate, but that it's not healthy, in fact it's odious, I concur.
Oh Do have a look at Andrew O'Hagan's excellent piece in the current issue of the London Review of Books (marvellous, great piece by him on Assange two years back).It's on the Daily Mail, a more insidious influence than Murdoch. Shows how it's anti Establishment, for those who erroneously suppose so (more Murdoch, come to that!) Best.Gary
Labour is BACK, bitches! It's been a long fucking time coming, I tell you what. This will be the first time I ever vote Labour, since it was hi-jacked by neo-liberals when I was well below voting age. I'm really fucking excited about this.
Shlami Mk4 Please stay excited, Shlami. Stay focused. Corbyn has pulled off the greatest Labour triumph since 1945- even though you didn't win this time. Don't let anyone tell you different. And keep all the other Labour voters you know focused and positive, too.
gary morgan an abyss is a hole, no? She’s gazing into one but keeps digging. I wouldn’t call it a BADLY mixed metaphor. You can dig from the outside as well as the inside you know... it wasn’t such a bad analogy.
Glad you brought up that NYT Op Ed issue. I'm a raging environmentalist, and I'd still jump at the chance for a few Op Ed column lines in that paper! What a stupid angle she tried.
Also, in the quote it says they won't LISTEN until violence ensues. They want to be heard, and Corbyn was one of the very few who listened. My family is Irish and I can't begin to tell you the hardships they faced. I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to vote from him, the most honest politician we've seen. I feel a change coming.
Jeremy Corbyn is by far the best thing that's come along for the UK that I have seen in my lifetime. I am outrages at these trolls, critics, so called journalistic hit men that constantly trying to undermine him and paint him as something as he is not. Please please please stop for a moment and see what your doing, you will destroy this country for yourself and your children. What good is that to u. Have some decency and let's help to make this man PM.
"why would you write for a magazine that has an article like this?" Seriously? I feel like at that point it's your obligation to school her. Made Corbyn look strong, but seriously, what a dumb question.
33 years ago you watched z cars does that not make you a police informant ? . thats how bloody stupid her questions are . Z cars was one of the first TV cop shows and aired in the 60s
bneon so why would he write for a magazine that praised the death of five people. Does not matter if he wrote it or not. That's like saying I didn't write the final solution for Himmler I just added a forward. It's supporting a nasty magazine and this man Corbyn is a threat to our security
Scott Aubrey no no and no it isn’t. You have written complete nonsense there. But if yu want to talk,about people who are a threat to our security.. talk about Farage, Rees Mogg. IDS and the rest of that treasonous crowd. The Tories and Farage have sold us down the river to the ultra right infestation that is sweeping the world. You are so blinded by your hatred you cannot bring your urself to see the truth.
a) It's from 33 years ago! Who cares? b) Corbyn was first elected MP in 1983. Do they really think he was chairman of the party magazine's editorial board in less than two years after he'd gone to Westminster? I mean, it's flattering that Ridge (and Andrew Roth) think he ascended so quickly, but honestly. Think for a moment.
What, would I deride Corbyn if my family had been victim of an IRA bombings? Of course. Then again, if I'd a relative killed by the Army I'd not take a benign view of the British state tbh. Was that the question?
Amazin69 yeah he did say he wanted to disband the nuclear program and he wanted more migrants in. That's some pretty crazy shit. Not a very wise tactical move at all. I will definitely not vote for Jeremy corbyn. He was the right politician to lead 20 years ago, imo.
someone speaking reasonably and rationally on the internet? I seem to have slipped into the Twilight Zone. I like it. :) unfortunately doesn't seem to have caught on with a lot of the commentators though :(
The Rational National, looking at your country im not surprised. Justin Trudeau is another one of Merkels pin up boys for her satanic arts, its a discrace. Traitor class to the common man, sell outs just like Corbyn
He was never going to win! He did well but a) we need to rein in the Tory ragsand b) we need a better leader than Corbyn to go the necessary next steps.
dan taylor i kinda got a bad feeling about it too.just as the Tory manifesto failed and labour was gaining ground as well as hundreds of youth registering which could potentially prove devastating for the Tories something like this happens.its all a bit of coincidence , a tragedy yes but nevertheless the Tory media will use it when the campaign gets underway to paint him as a weak leader who won't be able to tackle such issues.
Yohan l Kyoshi don't be too disheartened yet. the police federation came out today to say the Manchester attack happened because of Tory cuts, and people are not forgetful, the policies in the Tory manifesto are extremely harmful.
This Monday was the first time I thought Labour could win. They'd already closed the gap to around 9 points, and Theresa May had an absolute nightmare on Monday. I think that would have pushed Labour at least to within a couple of points with still about 2 weeks to go. Then Tuesday came, and I think all that momentum will have been lost. There's nothing quite like a terrorist attack to bring the right wingers out of the closet. We need to keep the pressure on when campaigning resumes - as Jesusjuicerful said, we need to point out that the reason the army are on the streets today is that Theresa May is responsible for cuts to the policing budget. We are NOT safe with her in charge.
You should have mentioned that the current prime minister wasn't elected in, she was chosen as default because the last guy decided to leave after promising that he wouldn't.
I'm voting Corbyn because I'm voting for hope and stability. I genuinely like right wing views, especially real ones. Hoover Institute, Buckley, all of that - real right wing policies, economics, ideas you can back - with research, history, innovation. In Britain there may be a strong right wing but it's become tainted with lack of compassion and racism. I believe in people, and for this election, Corbyn is for me.
Journalists are supposed to ambush and not get ambushed since they get to SELECT the questions and thus have the opportunity to prepare and research the subjects while the interviewee doesnt. Here this lady managed to ambush herself. That makes you wonder,how some of these journalists managed to get their jobs,what do they do when they are conducting research on their guest,do they even do any research before meeting their guests?
gerald geaf now y’see, you are a bit off there. Journalists are supposed to elicit the truth. They may use ambush as a tactic to reach that truth, but in her case, she came to the interview with an agenda. A right wing, Murdoch led agenda, so not seeking the truth at all. She was seeking to tie Corbyn u in knots and to reveal hmmm a bad way. However, as that is not the truth, her silly attempt did not pay off and she only succeeded in ambushing herself.
Great video here. Completely agree about attacking people on their history and how it's irrelevant. Like the US sadly the UK media is obsessed with stories like this. It's really pathetic!
I totally agree with you, Mr National. I think the reason why this journalist thought she had Jeremy over a barrel is because in 1984 (when I was 15😯😯) the Northern Ireland peace talks were in complete disarray. Jeremy C had a large hand in negotiating the deal that eventually brought about peace. It was pure shit stirring on Sky's part, which is why I will not buy into their TV subscription service. Not only is it shit stirring, but it goes to show that there are no depths to which Murdoch's henchmen will stoop, no one's sensitivities they care about. It wouldn't matter to them if - as a result of their shit-stirring - troubles in N.I. Started again. As long as they could point their finger at the person they were attempting to destroy. If anything, I think Rational National does Sky News a favour by insinuating that one interviewer was at fault. It was the whole network, that's been out to destroy Jeremy Corbyn ever since he gained a position of power within the Labour Party. He is dangerous to Sky, because,it's largely owned by Rupert Murdoch who stands to have a much higher tax bill should Labour under JC ever take power. Tony Blair, the last labour leader who won an election here, was more right wing than even Margaret Thatcher was totally bought out by Murdoch - you scratch my back and I'll make sure my newspaper group will cover you favourably. Corbyn has more scruples than that. The fact that Sky won't ever come outright and ask, "Why do you want to raise taxes for the super-rich, thereby depriving Rupert Murdoch, our boss, of a few quid?" shows that they know how incorrect the question is. So they try to find something else to string him up with. It makes my blood boil.
The irony is Corbyn as one of the only British politicians who was staunch anti war had agreed to give this interview to a murdoch news station who beat the drum for war. Does Corbyn agree with the extreme views of that organisation? No....Did that stop him giving the interview? No!!
I am a UK/US dual national currently living and working in the Bahamas. I have a friend serving as my voting proxy. He is casting my vote for Labour for my local MP so that Jeremy Corbyn can become PM. We must get the Tories out now!
Very worthy piece, David Doel. It is sad to say that the reason publications don't drill down into thinking as you have articulately explained, is because many people don't make time to think deeper about the issues (or non-issues) raised, or are intellectually incapable of doing so. They find 'sound bites' much easier to handle. Sometimes we need a few more words to explain the important arguments about our political processes.
Some Guy, you dont know how lucky you are, if Hitlery would have won then game over. Its incredible how many people are asleep, mind conditioned like lambs to the slaughter listening to main stream medias lies. The media is all bought and owned by the very same people that made America weak. Liberalism has been hijacked in the west
Hey friend I really think you're spot on with your take on this silly miss Sophy Ridge n her attempt at entrapment of Jeremy on a nonsense topic. From where I sit here in i follow all political n media related issues internationally. My conclusion is that the news media in all forms MUST be fair game . Whatever pedestal built for it in any jurisdiction must be destroyed. More-so with the advent of sharp pundits like yourself n others. Strength to u all.s
Are you for real? Trump bragging abour sexual assault wasn't 'something'? You need your head examined. Actually saying you assault people ways far more in court amd in society than unproven accusations. Accusations aren't proof, while bragging about committing an illegal act, certainly is!
You're a smart cookie. I like you. Rational folk are a rare breed. Is these arguments that are needed more in politics, but the vast majority of politicians follow irrational arguments and smear campaigns to elevate their own political stature, rather than make very convincing rational arguments that are very hard to rebuke and deny.
Journalists, much like prosecuting attorneys in a courtroom, should know the answer before they ask a question like that. When they don't, they end up helping the people they're supposed to be prosecuting.
On July 14th 2017 Corbyn is currently 8 points ahead of Theresa May in a YouGove poll : for Americans and Canadians reading this YouGov was founded, is run and supported by Conservatives but they cannot ignore the results of their polling!
Fascinating. She was so expecting him to duck and dodge like ordinary politicians do she didn't have any other questions lined up. NO and NEVER HAVE BEEN. Job done. That is a lovely, clear, truthful answer - and his expansion that he read the magazine, and occasionally wrote for it, as full and honest an explanation as anyone could possibly want. Jeremy Corbyn - OUR Prime Minister :-)
3.32 'Peace in Ireland' That statement is very telling and demonstrates Corbyn's attitude to Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. And generic condemnations of violence are not good enough when you are asked a specific question about a specific organisation.
Vote for Corbyn....LMFAO I don't fancy having a IRA/HAMAS/JEW HATING FAILED MARXIST in the country, let alone vote for that idiot and the ANTIFA loving Labour party.........The is more chance you will find Rocking Horse Shit, than Corbyn ever being in power with his fat ugly racist ex GF Dianne Abbott.
Lolli Pop I totally agree!! Corbyn is a imbecile. But don't worry, he will never be in power and the labour party is about to get smashed on election day. Yippeeeeee !
Templar Knight If you say so. Margaret Thatcher part 2 is so much the better option 🤔🤔 your name says it all tbh. You probably believe everything written in the Daily Mail too 😂😂
Lolli Pop lol You miss understand me. They are all a shower of shit no matter what party they are from. The mistake you Lefty's make is thinking people are as bigoted and narrow minded as you lot are because they wont support a party that has a consistent record of financial failures running the economy. Having the last Labour Treasury minister leaving a " post It " note saying " ha ha The is no money left " gives a good indication of the type of people you lot had running our country. You laugh and call the Tory's Toff's, when in reality 99.9% of Labour ministers were privately educated and your last cabinet had 6 MP's who were Lawyers and 2 who were from titled family's. hahahahaha Party of the People My Arse.
I'd love to hear you tackle Toby Young's recent rude and misogynistic comments all over Twitter & how Theresa May can seemingly justify saying "Oh well, now he's in Public Office if he does that he'll be fired"...It does nothing to address the prior victims grievances, concerns/issues etc, and somehow Sky news has nothing much to say about her appointing him to the board of the new Office for Students.
Huge amount of interest in this video. Interesting to hear a US viewpoint of UK politics. Thanks for your interest - and more importantly, your intelligence

Fox news is way more right and agenda driven. If sky news aired in the US people would call it left wing.
Just quieter than fox and not as openly biased
it is amazing how far back the corporate media has to go to find fault. shame on them.
Yeah, really. It's not exactly hard to do with Corbyn.
I love Jeremy Corbyn. he has a brilliant mind, that will not be swayed by big money. Scotland supports Jeremy.
oh agree - UK has 3 Christians as party leader, and pro-Islam leader... We are fucked. But I rather have a religious people who belongs to a cult that has been through reformation than the one that hasn't and takes leadership from Iranian and Saudi religious leaders.
Antony Masters Corbyn is not pro Islam you idiot.
Antony Masters Corbyn is more pro Saudi than May? What? Corbyn wants to stop selling weapons to the Saudis you fucking moron
god luck with utopia, I will settle for someone who doesn't want to nuke people.

Why is she bringing up shit from 30 yrs ago? Lol scraping bottom of an irrelevant barrel. Corbyn looks like he's so sick and bored of this
this is hard to watch! i mean im asking myself how this is even allowed? it's just beyond stupid and obvious that she is just trying to smear him!

Have you actually registered?

labour is dead
Love seeing an American see the UK for what it really is! This was a refreshing watch! VOTE LABOUR! VOTE JEREMY CORBYN!
I support Plaid Cymru but would much prefer a labour government rather than a conservative one
Rupert Murdock has completely destroyed Journalism in Great Britain. What’s wrong w that interviewer ??
Vote Labour.
Gazing into an abyss, she asks for a shovel.
Berk.
Rather badly mixed metaphor this.
At first it looks right, then you realise it's quite confusing.
marcus kerr great words!
gary morgan an abyss is a hole, no? She’s gazing into one but keeps digging. I wouldn’t call it a BADLY mixed metaphor. You can dig from the outside as well as the inside you know... it wasn’t such a bad analogy.
People dont realise how knowlegdeable Jeremy Corbyn is. He is really smart
One of the most eloquent and intelligent debunking of the Corbyn smear campaign I’ve heard thus far. Happy to subscribe.
Spot on David. Dredging up stuff from the past and not talking about present issues. It's just ignorant bias.
the more I see of JC the more I like him!
Great to see a well rounded insightful comment on British politics and the media from across the pond.
Glad you brought up that NYT Op Ed issue. I'm a raging environmentalist, and I'd still jump at the chance for a few Op Ed column lines in that paper!
What a stupid angle she tried.
Well said mate, from the UK!
Also, in the quote it says they won't LISTEN until violence ensues. They want to be heard, and Corbyn was one of the very few who listened. My family is Irish and I can't begin to tell you the hardships they faced. I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to vote from him, the most honest politician we've seen. I feel a change coming.
This was good to watch; I feel good about people right now. Some sanity and equilibrium restored. Thanks!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

This could be used as a great tutorial for what is good journalism and what is not. Very well argued,
"why would you write for a magazine that has an article like this?" Seriously? I feel like at that point it's your obligation to school her. Made Corbyn look strong, but seriously, what a dumb question.

Z cars was one of the first TV cop shows and aired in the 60s
(Actually he played "Fancy" Smith. Really.).

I see you engaged in an unequal struggle with literacy.
Clue:. a comma is required for your post to make sense.

That roads can dream? I've been a little worried about that road recently.
That's it is it, this is your contribution to the debate.
Puerile.
I'm voting for Jeremy Corbyn
nice to see a different perspective on things, I agree with you 100%, hello from Cornwall, England.
Sky news mate what did you expect?
dan taylor it's like a watered down version of Fox News
In other words it's not a lot like Fox then!
dan taylor LOL exactly
When will the establishment learn? People are fucking fed up with the status quo. We want change!
Elijah C change to what, exactly?
a) It's from 33 years ago! Who cares?
b) Corbyn was first elected MP in 1983. Do they really think he was chairman of the party magazine's editorial board in less than two years after he'd gone to Westminster?
I mean, it's flattering that Ridge (and Andrew Roth) think he ascended so quickly, but honestly. Think for a moment.
gary morgan would you?
What, would I deride Corbyn if my family had been victim of an IRA bombings? Of course.
Then again, if I'd a relative killed by the Army I'd not take a benign view of the British state tbh.
Was that the question?
Amazin69 yeah he did say he wanted to disband the nuclear program and he wanted more migrants in. That's some pretty crazy shit. Not a very wise tactical move at all. I will definitely not vote for Jeremy corbyn. He was the right politician to lead 20 years ago, imo.
someone speaking reasonably and rationally on the internet? I seem to have slipped into the Twilight Zone. I like it. :) unfortunately doesn't seem to have caught on with a lot of the commentators though :(
Nice breakdown! Great info for the masses. MSM are lower than low. Just hope Corbyn wins!
+Stephen Beale Thanks! I hope he wins too.
The Rational National, looking at your country im not surprised. Justin Trudeau is another one of Merkels pin up boys for her satanic arts, its a discrace. Traitor class to the common man, sell outs just like Corbyn
He was never going to win!
He did well but a) we need to rein in the Tory ragsand b) we need a better leader than Corbyn to go the necessary next steps.
Hopefully corbyn wins. The man has a good heart, you can see it in his face. He's looking out for the people.
Good analysis, Corbyn is massively popular here. He could have won it but for the Manchester "event" which smells very dodgy to me.
dan taylor i kinda got a bad feeling about it too.just as the Tory manifesto failed and labour was gaining ground as well as hundreds of youth registering which could potentially prove devastating for the Tories something like this happens.its all a bit of coincidence , a tragedy yes but nevertheless the Tory media will use it when the campaign gets underway to paint him as a weak leader who won't be able to tackle such issues.
where is here
Yohan l Kyoshi don't be too disheartened yet. the police federation came out today to say the Manchester attack happened because of Tory cuts, and people are not forgetful, the policies in the Tory manifesto are extremely harmful.
This Monday was the first time I thought Labour could win. They'd already closed the gap to around 9 points, and Theresa May had an absolute nightmare on Monday. I think that would have pushed Labour at least to within a couple of points with still about 2 weeks to go. Then Tuesday came, and I think all that momentum will have been lost. There's nothing quite like a terrorist attack to bring the right wingers out of the closet. We need to keep the pressure on when campaigning resumes - as Jesusjuicerful said, we need to point out that the reason the army are on the streets today is that Theresa May is responsible for cuts to the policing budget. We are NOT safe with her in charge.
dudekool 888 I hope you're being sarcastic
Your narrative is very well informing and all rounded. I agree with everything you say as a UK citizen, EU citizen, and global citizen.
+Gorprit Singh Thanks!
Gorprit Singh you won't be an eu member soon.
Gorprit Singh let me second Gorprit Singhs comment. And totally spit on the comment from the idiot who deals in lies on the side of buses.
You should have mentioned that the current prime minister wasn't elected in, she was chosen as default because the last guy decided to leave after promising that he wouldn't.
Thanks for that David. A very fair-minded analysis.
I'm voting Corbyn because I'm voting for hope and stability.
I genuinely like right wing views, especially real ones. Hoover Institute, Buckley, all of that - real right wing policies, economics, ideas you can back - with research, history, innovation. In Britain there may be a strong right wing but it's become tainted with lack of compassion and racism. I believe in people, and for this election, Corbyn is for me.
I get it, you like thinking and writing in clichés.
Better keep that to yourself.
A rightist supporting Corbyn either is no rightist or doesn't understand him. This post is conceptually incoherent.
Tone E. Guitar shorts the policies are the hope you fucking idiot 😂😂
Liam Huish fucking idiot huh. Do i know you friend??
Job BZ that wasn't directed at you job, I agree with what you said! 👍
Good to see someone who knows how these things work.Completely agree with his argument.
There so fuckin DESPERATE to smear him!! Hes far too well informed and articulate to fall for it!!
Journalists are supposed to ambush and not get ambushed since they get to SELECT the questions and thus have the opportunity to prepare and research the subjects while the interviewee doesnt.
Here this lady managed to ambush herself. That makes you wonder,how some of these journalists managed to get their jobs,what do they do when they are conducting research on their guest,do they even do any research before meeting their guests?
gerald geaf now y’see, you are a bit off there. Journalists are supposed to elicit the truth. They may use ambush as a tactic to reach that truth, but in her case, she came to the interview with an agenda. A right wing, Murdoch led agenda, so not seeking the truth at all. She was seeking to tie Corbyn u in knots and to reveal hmmm a bad way. However, as that is not the truth, her silly attempt did not pay off and she only succeeded in ambushing herself.
Great video here. Completely agree about attacking people on their history and how it's irrelevant. Like the US sadly the UK media is obsessed with stories like this. It's really pathetic!
You predicted that right. Good job man. Subscribed
Excellent points, David.
Fine explanatory piece,-
I'm voting labour
I totally agree with you, Mr National. I think the reason why this journalist thought she had Jeremy over a barrel is because in 1984 (when I was 15😯😯) the Northern Ireland peace talks were in complete disarray. Jeremy C had a large hand in negotiating the deal that eventually brought about peace. It was pure shit stirring on Sky's part, which is why I will not buy into their TV subscription service. Not only is it shit stirring, but it goes to show that there are no depths to which Murdoch's henchmen will stoop, no one's sensitivities they care about. It wouldn't matter to them if - as a result of their shit-stirring - troubles in N.I. Started again. As long as they could point their finger at the person they were attempting to destroy. If anything, I think Rational National does Sky News a favour by insinuating that one interviewer was at fault. It was the whole network, that's been out to destroy Jeremy Corbyn ever since he gained a position of power within the Labour Party. He is dangerous to Sky, because,it's largely owned by Rupert Murdoch who stands to have a much higher tax bill should Labour under JC ever take power. Tony Blair, the last labour leader who won an election here, was more right wing than even Margaret Thatcher was totally bought out by Murdoch - you scratch my back and I'll make sure my newspaper group will cover you favourably. Corbyn has more scruples than that. The fact that Sky won't ever come outright and ask, "Why do you want to raise taxes for the super-rich, thereby depriving Rupert Murdoch, our boss, of a few quid?" shows that they know how incorrect the question is. So they try to find something else to string him up with. It makes my blood boil.
MarkPMus I agree with everything you say. Well stated.
Jeremy Corbyn is the man.
The irony is Corbyn as one of the only British politicians who was staunch anti war had agreed to give this interview to a murdoch news station who beat the drum for war. Does Corbyn agree with the extreme views of that organisation? No....Did that stop him giving the interview? No!!
Just found you. Excellent.
"Sometimes listening to people you don't agree with does you good" haha PRICELESS cme back
Go on Jeremy! you can do it!
I am a UK/US dual national currently living and working in the Bahamas. I have a friend serving as my voting proxy. He is casting my vote for Labour for my local MP so that Jeremy Corbyn can become PM. We must get the Tories out now!
In corybn we trust.
Very worthy piece, David Doel. It is sad to say that the reason publications don't drill down into thinking as you have articulately explained, is because many people don't make time to think deeper about the issues (or non-issues) raised, or are intellectually incapable of doing so. They find 'sound bites' much easier to handle. Sometimes we need a few more words to explain the important arguments about our political processes.
Best of luck to the UK, they shouldn't follow the US example this last election.
Some Guy, you dont know how lucky you are, if Hitlery would have won then game over. Its incredible how many people are asleep, mind conditioned like lambs to the slaughter listening to main stream medias lies. The media is all bought and owned by the very same people that made America weak. Liberalism has been hijacked in the west
You can get better odds at the bookies on finding Lord Lucan and Shergar having tea with Bigfoot than getting dirt on Corbyn.
keep up the Good Work David.
Thanks!
I would go to literally every single news station available in England before turning on Sky News
#JC4PM
Jack Davidson 100% 👌
DD you 110% right in your analysis.
Detractors don't ever want to listen to facts....
Or even try to understand them.
Hey friend I really think you're spot on with your take on this silly miss Sophy Ridge n her attempt at entrapment of Jeremy on a nonsense topic.
From where I sit here in i follow all political n media related issues internationally.
My conclusion is that the news media in all forms MUST be fair game . Whatever pedestal built for it in any jurisdiction must be destroyed.
More-so with the advent of sharp pundits like yourself n others. Strength to u all.s
+jusjash Thanks!
David Doel = Good Man. Well done mate. Canada is the best
I fucking love Corbyn, a better Bernie Sanders!!!
Are you for real? Trump bragging abour sexual assault wasn't 'something'? You need your head examined. Actually saying you assault people ways far more in court amd in society than unproven accusations. Accusations aren't proof, while bragging about committing an illegal act, certainly is!
Corbyn is our saviour!!!! Please people VOTE LABOUR its such an obvious choice
You're a smart cookie. I like you. Rational folk are a rare breed. Is these arguments that are needed more in politics, but the vast majority of politicians follow irrational arguments and smear campaigns to elevate their own political stature, rather than make very convincing rational arguments that are very hard to rebuke and deny.
Don't forget Rupert Murdock owns part of sky tv so I will leave it there and say no more.
Journalists, much like prosecuting attorneys in a courtroom, should know the answer before they ask a question like that. When they don't, they end up helping the people they're supposed to be prosecuting.
Jeremy Corbyn is a legend he said be the next prime minister
On July 14th 2017 Corbyn is currently 8 points ahead of Theresa May in a YouGove poll : for Americans and Canadians reading this YouGov was founded, is run and supported by Conservatives but they cannot ignore the results of their polling!
Great video bro! subbed :)
Thanks!
omartron ditto!
Sophie Ridge should stick to auto cues rather than embarrassing herself against a seasoned politician and campaigner.
Really enjoyed this thank you!
+Oscar Gurung Thank you for watching!
Thank you for informing me, regardless if you're not living in the U.K.
Joe please
I like this guy. Thinks like me. High five
Fascinating. She was so expecting him to duck and dodge like ordinary politicians do she didn't have any other questions lined up. NO and NEVER HAVE BEEN. Job done. That is a lovely, clear, truthful answer - and his expansion that he read the magazine, and occasionally wrote for it, as full and honest an explanation as anyone could possibly want.
Jeremy Corbyn - OUR Prime Minister :-)
😂 luv it
Wow. Brilliant dissection and analysis. I am going to download & save this video. A life lesson, here.
How's Venezuela doing Jeremy???
3.32
'Peace in Ireland'
That statement is very telling and demonstrates Corbyn's attitude to Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom.
And generic condemnations of violence are not good enough when you are asked a specific question about a specific organisation.
Vote for Corbyn....LMFAO I don't fancy having a IRA/HAMAS/JEW HATING FAILED MARXIST in the country, let alone vote for that idiot and the ANTIFA loving Labour party.........The is more chance you will find Rocking Horse Shit, than Corbyn ever being in power with his fat ugly racist ex GF Dianne Abbott.
Templar Knight Imbecile.
Lolli Pop I totally agree!! Corbyn is a imbecile. But don't worry, he will never be in power and the labour party is about to get smashed on election day. Yippeeeeee !
Templar Knight If you say so. Margaret Thatcher part 2 is so much the better option 🤔🤔 your name says it all tbh. You probably believe everything written in the Daily Mail too 😂😂
Lolli Pop lol You miss understand me. They are all a shower of shit no matter what party they are from. The mistake you Lefty's make is thinking people are as bigoted and narrow minded as you lot are because they wont support a party that has a consistent record of financial failures running the economy.
Having the last Labour Treasury minister leaving a " post It " note saying " ha ha The is no money left " gives a good indication of the type of people you lot had running our country.
You laugh and call the Tory's Toff's, when in reality 99.9% of Labour ministers were privately educated and your last cabinet had 6 MP's who were Lawyers and 2 who were from titled family's.
hahahahaha Party of the People My Arse.
Templar Knight I stopped reading after you said leftists were bigots. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is the best way to answer questions, accurately, calmly and authoritatively. Love Corbyn.
Always remember that when you try to smear someone, shit never sticks to the truth.
I'd love to hear you tackle Toby Young's recent rude and misogynistic comments all over Twitter & how Theresa May can seemingly justify saying "Oh well, now he's in Public Office if he does that he'll be fired"...It does nothing to address the prior victims grievances, concerns/issues etc, and somehow Sky news has nothing much to say about her appointing him to the board of the new Office for Students.
David, you make a lot of sense and defiantly.What a smart and defiant remark from you David.
Huge amount of interest in this video. Interesting to hear a US viewpoint of UK politics. Thanks for your interest - and more importantly, your intelligence
