Congratulations on your first confirmed kill

He’s also learned how to strawman.
Ad hominen put downs don't make you any friends.
The spine to replace the one he had removed when he insulted nice old Tom Baker, just to inflate his own ego? Upstart twat 🧐

"Resign,Resign!" "I've resigned!" "How dare you resign,and abdicate your responsibilities!"
this is EXACTLY what i imagine chris' character in the thick of it is like after taking over malcolm tucker's job.
Way too assertive for Ollie
@@andrewtucker94 He said many times that the job made Malcolm the way he was. He wasn't like that before he became a spin doctor.
So it isn't much of a stretch that Ollie too could become something like that. Especially since he's always had a passive aggressive streak to him.
Chris is right despite Ian’s opposition. A hung parliament has historically seen the previous PM continue until a viable, alternative government was formed. It happened in 1923-4, 1974 and 2010. Resigning before the assembling of the new parliament was a constitutional innovation from 1868 and is not something the incumbent has to do. Before then, a losing government would stay until voted down in the House
"Barely literate...!" Martin Clunes, the funniest guy in the room.
Not hard when Merton is around
Third runway at Heathrow... "my arse", "it'll be back on, too many rich people getting rich out of that, they won't stop that". Turns out Clunes knew way more than everyone else at the time!
I wonder if that is why we do not seem to hear of Martin these days?
Or Chris Addison. He used to be on everything and then disappeared of the face of the earth
@@iangascoigne8231 Agreed. Telling it like it really is is something the BBC does not like.
@@iangascoigne8231 Directing/producing in the USA
@@iangascoigne8231 Chris Addison is doing an awful lot, he's just behind the camera these days and he's brilliant at it.
I love Hislop trying to correct Addison when Addison was absolutely spot on about the constitution.
Brown was PM until Cameron went to the Queen.
What does that have to do with anything? If brown had stepped down earlier then his replacement would've gone to the Queen earlier. There was nothing banning him from no longer being PM.
@@veryanonymous3630 Thats not true when the sticking point was that without a signed coalition agreement nobody could pass a Queens Speech so their government would immediately collapse. Brown stayed on until Cameron had that agreement because it was Cameron who had to actually motion to Parliament to form his government and go to the Queen.
Chris and Ian are talking at cross purposes. Ian is talking about Brown’s decision to remain party leader for a further 4-6 months following the election. Chris is talking about his decision to remain in n10 until a new government can be formed. Both are strictly correct, although Ian’s point is a matter of interpretation.
If the whole process had taken weeks it would have been reasonable to critique Brown for wanting to remain in Number 10. That sort of uncertainty would have been hugely damaging. In practice everything was sorted in just a few days and no harm was done. The truth is that in some ways 2010 offered us the opportunity to embrace a more nuanced and grown-up approach to politics that could only have made things better in the long run and as Chris demonstrates here our own poltiical journalists played a huge role in making sure that didn't happen. It was frustrating in the extreme to watch people who surely knew better express outrage and amazement at how negotiations unfolded.
@@chrispalmer7893 I think that period is the first time we noticed the British press being wilfully collectively stupid as part of their systemic bias. The press were absolutely sick of the Labour government (which is understandable) and wanted something new to report on, but they obviously knew that coalitions required negotiation. The upshot of their pressure was that Brown resigned earlier than he needed to, meaning Clegg extracted less from Cameron than he could have done. Clegg is on record as saying that he was begging Brown not to resign until he could get a better deal.
We saw much more of this during Corbyn's tenure as Labour leader, though there was more deliberate political bias in reporting there. My favourite example there was the performative inability to understand Labour's 2019 Brexit policy, which was both extremely simple and extremely stupid.
Clunes hits the nail right on the head about the third runway.
So Chris Addison is the only one who understands how government works.
But why is he such a twat
@@cityboy9301 He's nice, what are you on about?
@@nicholasgraham4402 nice.
Thats because he was in the thick of it, which is basically how our government is working these days.
@@koolerking440 when you've seen Peter Capaldi on this very show you'll know that's nonsense. Just because they act on a political show does not mean they understand politics.

Jesus, they're talking about 'the new politics' and a third runway at Heathrow. How things have changed since then...
Go and watch 'Yes Minister' again... public life is on a wheel.
they're people who fundamentally cannot believe that Fukuyama were wrong, either because they're incapable of actually understanding that capitalism is self-contradictory, or they're too invested in it to be able to admit that history is not, in fact, over.
JHB is still an imbecile. The more things change.
I love this episode and I love Chris Addison's performance here! Ian was quite cross with him for a while.
Journalists reflecting the tiny mentality of those who read the Stun. Well done Chris Addison.
Ian Miles I love Chris Addison, proper northern comic who tells it like it is frickin’ legend x
@@hannahmcgahan8920 bit of a stretch calling him northern. He’s from Wales, went to an independent boys school and has lived the majority of his life in the south
She know, but I think she’d rather bullshit.
12 years later. How funny
It's pretty obvious he isn't doing this mean-spiritedly, and she's responding in sort. If anything he's being more aggressive with Ian than he is Julia - and they're obviously both having a lot of fun with it. In the vein of TTOI - it's just "good-natured joshing".
Calling Julia Hartley-Bullshitter a journalist is a bit much.
@@muaddib667 To be fair, she was lot less further on in her attempts to turn herself in to a Poundshop Katie Hopkins at that time. In 2010 she was merely incompetent and dishonest. Outwardlly bigoted and vile are things she's very much explored in more recent years.
Well done Chris. Thanks.
I'm completely in love with Chris Addison!! He's brilliant!
Thanks for posting!!! =)
Clunes was great as host, he should do it more often.
Lordy, Chris Addison with that all too rare commodity today, wit.
This is my favourite Chris Addison compilation. He was on fire putting idioting journalists to shame. Good interaction with Martin Clunes as well. Maybe he should be given a "Watch the watchers" show that mercilessly takes journalists and government to task in a humouros and accessible way that promotes critical thinking? Just an idea.
Journalists are there to sell advertising space. To do this they make sensationalist stories with a memorable headline instead of reporting whats actually happening.
+binaway Often true, but not universally so. There are good journalists out there. They're just getting harder to find...
not all of them are bad but yeah most of them a pricks.
binaway They're supposed to help to create an informed society , as long people understand the 5 media filters than good enough lol
The BBC don't need to sell advertising space, yet their news output has become almost as bad as the rest
Manufacturing consent, anyone?
This is why he has a high job in the after life
Jaime Yeyoquin I understand that reference!
Jesus, I didnt understand that reference and thought he had died, had to google that
Permission to squeee!!!
This was a great episode!
nice of Chris Addison to come dressed as the 1970's.
+Sidowse Floral dresses. It's very possible, though it relies on a fairly heavy dose of shared culture and more than a few logical leaps.

Martin Clune, Martin Clune, ting tong ting tong, Martin Clune

Would you like some Clunepops
"barely literate" killed me
Again comedians are brighter than politicians and journalists.
Chris Addison seems to be quite intelligent, in addition to being genuinely funny.
Troll.
Nope
everyone looks intelligent when compared to Julia
spot on addison - sick of stupid questions from journos
Paul Merton was loving playing second fiddle.
That awkward laughter after being insulted from Hartley-Brewer though
Surprised to see my local library pop up at the end, there!
Love this guy!
I dont agree with Julia on principle but she is alot of fun on this show, able to take it and give a bit back
Agreed, I don't like many of the things she says in the papers, but she's one of the few who gets stuck in here and knows it's all a bit of a farce.
Joshua Hickin a lot*
Yep, psychopaths can shmooze.
And now she has disappeared up her own arse.
She is a horrific piece of work
I've always liked Martin Clunes hosting it
Addison is spot on
i love chris addison!
sweet im seeing him live next sunday
I love the way Julia H-B simply laughs nervously instead of challenging him. Addison 1 - Hartley-Brewer 0.
"Third runway", brilliant.
he should know. he was on the thick of it 😆
Right, now get Capaldi on. In character, though, of course.
Don't know who the woman in this is but she does take the criticism very well with a laugh, looks like she agrees somewhat. Ian Hislop on the other hand always has to be right, regardless, he'll always keep on arguing
She is Julia Hartley-Brewer a journalist. However, if you listen to what she says, Chris twists it and makes it sound like he is having a go at her, when in fact he just repeats what she said, or in later bits, talks over her so she cannot finish her point.
She is a great Right Wing Journalist.
Hislop is a pompous asshole who PRETENDS he is with the people but lives in a Mansion in the Country.
She's a right wing mouthpiece like katie Hopkins. Evil and callous and will say anything to make money
She's an incredibly partisan right wing hack, who has gleefully spent years distracting from real issues to focus on nonsensical culture war crap, at Rupert murdoch's behest. Most recently she has done her best to cause confusion and spread misinformation during the covid pandemic.
Or put another way... Hislop and Merton are two arrogant left wing socialist wankers..... Who are oh so superior to all the plebs.... Julia Hartley Brewer is not a leftie....she also has a brain to match her unsheeplike opinion, can think for herself.... So automatically she's a
"fascist... Right wing fascist." .. etc etc etc..
i love chris addison hes so funny
They all remembered their lines 👍
He does appear to have made the mistake of confusing Julia Hartley-Brewer with a journalist...
Or a human being.
Well... Calling Julia Hartley Brewer a journalist is like calling an elephant a mouse.
Just watch Paul Merton's face every time Chris Addison speaks! He does this every time someone steals the limelight.
Spot on. Merton is flabby and irrelevant. And so is what's-is-name. BBC, ditch the dead donkey.
Yes, he hates it when anybody else is funnier than him. Which, to be honest, isn't very hard at all.
Hislop, the Journalist, put in his place. Wow.
An absolute classic
third runway......still topical
ill-informed bystander or not, he was spot on there
mmmbilly It's been topical since 2000 you moron.
Always will be.
Untill the plains are flung vertically from mag lev tunnels it will be topical
It will always be topical
It surprised me a little that Hislop seemed really put out by Chris's comments. I don't really think of him as a journalist any more; more as a satirist. If I want to know about someone's political policies I might pick up a newspaper (I won't). If I want the piss taken out of them I'll turn to Private Eye.
Hislop certainly thinks of himself as a journalist and someone who needs to defend the liberties and interests of the press.
He is right to do so, journalist or not, but the true enemies of press freedom are the journalists, and editors, that shamelessly bring it into disrepute. They have a moral duty to inform their readers/viewers, and when they abuse that by printing/broadcasting sensationalised bullshit for no other reason than selling copy, it's hard to feel any sympathy for them at all.
Well I agree completely. His attitude to the tabloids seems to be that they are naughty schoolboys to be sighed about, but woe betide anyone suggesting reining them in or introducing laws for privacy or punishments for lying or damaging people's lives.
Private Eye does a lot of good journalism.
A journalist who is also a satirist tries to look for something to laugh about/criticise ... for EVERY party. That is the best type of journalist, because there are far too many "one-sided" ones.
What I wouldn't give to have "Mr. Barnacle" in charge now.
Looking at the current shower of shite in number 10, I'd be happy with an actual barnacle.
Chris Addison simply pointing out the truth instead of listening to the “journalist” total bollocks
Chris Addison is as handsome as he is intelligent, and he is very intelligent!!!!
You never see Chris Addison and Billy Eichner in the same room.
Chris laughing at Paul’s jokes, Paul hating anyone being funnier than himself…
It isn't hard to be funnier than Merton and this is why he spends a lot of time looking miserable.
Julia HB repeatedly made to look a fool and laughing nervously. Nothing changes.
I used to live in King's Lynn and can confirm it is definitely where the goblins live.
episode?
Christ, doesn't Merton just hate it when guests are funnier than him. Which, to be honest, isn't very hard at all.
I miss Chris Addison!
Chris Addison is a fucking legend.
Back in the 80's Australia had a PM who had no qualm in telling journalists like it is the exact way Addison did. Only he didn't use it for comic effect he was serious. If only there were more Bob Hawke's in this world.
In kings Lynn where the goblins live 😂 I can agree with that
"What's the problem?"
"He is not perfect, that's the problem"
3:00 Hey!!!!
Hey!!!!
Hey!!!THIS IS RIBRARY!!!!!!
Oooh Ian Hislop doesn't like it when there is a literate quick witted guest who makes fun at the expense of journalists does he. Normally he is quite amenable. Touch a raw nerve did he Ian?
It seemed more to me that Hislop decided to hold Addison to same standards of knowledge that Addison expected of the woman.
Hislop is very much in favour of bashing on journalists, for even petty reasons - just watch this show or read Private Eye.
Addison has a fair point that he's just a comedian though. It's not really his role to be fully informed about politics, like it is for somebody who reports on politics.
Addison was wrong and wasn't expected to finally be on the recieving end. Notice how rather than argue back against someone who clearly knew more than him he just made a crap joke and backed out the argument like a coward.
@@kateargent5750 Would you rather he kept arguing even though he was shown to be wrong? Backing out when you're beaten seems to be the honourable thing to do. Doing with a joke seems about right too considering this is a comedy show
Kate Argent really, they were only having a laugh I don’t think mr Hislop was annoyed it was just banter for the sake of entertainment I didn’t realise the curly haired bloke was so funny and I agreed with him
One of Ian Hislop's jobs is bashing journalists, isn't it?
I want some of that Chrissy Special
Good old Ollie
Have we honestly been talking about a third runway since 2010
chris addison looks like steve punt
Well he was right about Heathrow
I won’t say Chris Addison for Prime Minister but ......yeah. 😊😅
@dwibs93 I think he's slightly left. Or he could just be sensible and smart. XDD He does come across as conservative sometimes, so a bit of both? Depending on the topic.
Let's face it - you can be right wing about foreign politics while at the same time leaning to the left re: environmental issues. It's a massively sweeping generalisation to class an individual as completely left or right. :)
At this rate Addison should be prime minister
Key takeaway from this, pay no attention to whatever JHB says.
@Lyskenusernamer
No, but it's helpful if you know about the results of the UK's election in the spring of 2010. The Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats formed a coalition government, because no party won enough seats needed for a majority. Nick Clegg, leader of the Lib Dems (and currently the Deputy Prime Minister), was going back and forth between the Conservative Party and the Labour Party, trying to secure a deal for the Lib Dems and put them in power, at least partially. Does that help?
He’s just an innocent bystander 😂
2:18 ...9 years later, still talking about 'maybe' we 'might' get a 3rd runway...
Well nobody's talking about a 3rd runway anymore? Happy now? Lol
@@s10dlka That's because Boris said he would lie down in front of the bulldozers. Before doing a u turn and ordering in the bulldozers. If not for the pandemic villages and woodland would be tarmac now.
So £millions saved, air travel won't recover sufficiently to justify the cost or provide evidence of the need for Runway 3.
TBH I thought Ian won the Blair point pretty easily but Chris is spot on with everything else.
He looks like an extra from Dukes Of Hazards
guess Martin was right about that runway!
Anyone taking JHB apart gets my vote!
He's like a curly, squirrely, cuter, slightly nicer David Mitchell
@MothRoom He certainly is.
Dunno why he always feels the need to show off his chest

Please don't call Julia Hartley-Brewer a journalist
@ouiseylou I'm inclined to agree. I've put different videos up in the past and within a few minutes I get a negative comment. In other words, people are waiting for a new video to be put up, so that they can immediately be the first person to say something negative (it can be literally anything too, not necessarily Chris Addison related). Sad, to say the least.
Ouch
What's up with Paul Merton? He looks like he just wants to be somewhere else whenever he's not talking.
He says about 3amusing things a series. I’m not sure how he has kept his position on the panel
who did olly reader have to play squash with to get onto HIGNFY
Elliott hutton dan miller now that he is leader of the opposition
To be fair, Gordon Brown did try to stay on for 6 months.
While I watch HIGNFY every chance I get, that doesn't mean I've forgiven Ian and Paul for what shit they threw at Angus. I'm guessing their activities since then have been under as much of the same scrutiny to the point that the shit they used to do, well, they can't. And I'd loved to see their faces when they realized it, especially after taking potshots at Angus and all the media as often as they did.
Karma is a bitch, gents.
That episode were they ripped into Angus was hard to watch. How he sat there and took it all beats me. It was relentless. Yes have a laugh about it but that was way beyond the line. Those 2 should have been ashamed of themselves. It wasn't funny or entertaining. .
@@animaltvi9515 From their perspective, they'd have been ashamed of themselves if they'd given Angus a free ride. They gave him what they'd have given anyone else in that situation. (Although reading between the lines it doesn't feel like either Ian or Paul were terribly upset to see him go).
Calling Julia Hartley-Brewer a journalist is a bit generous.
