B.E is quite intellectual actually, so surprised he is on chanel4 glad to see him make appearances on tvand should do more often. Hes engaged more and more in political thought as well as humanities, it crosses over into the arts I think if youcross-bridge his musical world with his opinions you will find quite a well informed and enlightened brain behind this man. He is funny too, he embodies the right principles we lack in the mainstream. REAL dare I say, pop figure intellectuals encouraging young people to engage...you should check out some of his recent talks. He also supports Jeremy Corbyn. :-)
Time to get Nerdy. If have read Frank Herberts Dune, he warned about the dangers of trusting charismatic leaders. Thinking your salvation will come from any leader is a fantasy. Remember that.
This is not a zero-sum game. Before the Arab Spring the Iraqis were enslaved in a Stalinist terror; that's no little thing; they now have democracy, a parliament and an independent judiciary. A million people died in the Iraq Iran war. How many more wars might Saddam have started in thirteen years?
The UK and USA supported Saddam for years and provided him with the green light to attack Iran. Once they had a falling out with Saddam because he wouldn't bow down to them any longer they committed over a decade of war crimes of sanctions which suffocated the life out of innocent Iraqis as whole to teach a lesson to their friend they had fallen out with. If you cannot see how morally bankrupt western leadership is you sir are blind.
@@sadiq7700 saddam hussein being a corrupt, brutal dictator and the iraqi invasion being mishandled leading to unnecessary deaths aren't mutually exclusive concepts.
You mention Stalinist terror , funny how they didnt go to war for democracy in russia , or north korea to abolish communism, america go to war because they have instigated it for their own profit
You can see in his eyes he knows he has been found out.Deaths of children don't bother him,he is hoping to sell a book about how depressed he was.Oh,poor dear,maybe stop bombing people who have no recourse.Shame on you.
'former director of communications'? don't make us all laugh, he was Blair's liar-in-chief. God Bless Dr. Kelly and the 179 British Armed Forces personnel or MOD civilians who perished in the Iraq war.
Sarah your brother chose to join the army, nobody made him. I’m afraid it was his job just like we all go to work. His death is was his responsibility and a bad career choice at best.
You fundamentally miss the point. It is one thing to accept losing a loved one in war but quite another when the case for that war was based on information that is proven to be wrong and where many believe the public and Parliament were mislead and the war itself was potentially illegal. On that basis, she is perfectly entitled to feel that her brother's life was wasted unnecessarily.
The world needs to know the extent to which this man was responsible for putting together some of the best albums of Bowie's career.
yup and talking heads, the development of ambient music and art rock etc
was not ready for the end of that sentence
With help from Tony Visconti
why the f**k is brian eno there? and why isn't he playing synth?
Eno has been an active anti-war campaigner for decades - and an extremely eloquent one at that!

Even Tony Blair's right hand man didn't believe the lies Blair was telling.
@@quaintdeliveries247 what lie?
Blair did not lie He just did not tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth(Does Cambell think we are all stupid)
a warmonger. he never deserve to be free man in our world, together with Tony Blair,
"There was no lying, there was no deceit..."
Says the liar.

Is that the real musician Brian Eno? I wonder, how did he get into politics?
Always has been.
I cant wait for the "Ambient music for unlawful wars" come out.
"I'm a pretty straight sort of guy"
so it wasn't for their oil then?
I think Brian Eno should be Queen.
Eno being here is... A bit random, don't you think?
Yee, don't get me wrong. I love the guy and a fan, but he doesn't come even close to the top of my mind in regards to something like this. Lmao.

how much did Campbell get for being Blair's communications director?..give it back..
this woman destroyed his cliche ridden bs in seconds..
Campbell lying like a rug, as usual.
What a slimey piece of work this man is. Why on earth does he get Air time. Should go in the cell next to Teflon Tony.
One question who pays Alistair Campbell's wages when all this was happening. Its not rocket science.
Alastair Campbell for prime minister!
Love him! He would be amazing! Tony Blair as chancellor too!

Eno loved Corbyn who was against the war.
Pinocchio Campbell the biggest liar in history.
Malcolm Tucker spewing his lies
And how is Brian Eno relevant? I won't be satisfied until David Gilmour and Seasick Steve expresses their opinions too.
We all know its the Americans fault
'former director of communications'? don't make us all laugh, he was Blair's liar-in-chief.
God Bless Dr. Kelly and the 179 British Armed Forces personnel or MOD civilians who perished in the Iraq war.
also the one million iraqi civilians who perished.
@@droland3949 Yep, and the brave American and allied soldiers.
And 1 million Iraq's dead. And more injured.
@@herjinderbhatia8285 Yep.
Brian Eno??????
Anti-war activist - has been for years - check out Stop The War Coalition etc.
Brian Eno is one of the coolest people out there but...... politics? Did someone else cancel at the last minute and he just happened to be passing?
Dodgy dossier..say no more Campbell
ger rid of personality politicians ermmmm
filth

Don't believe you Alistair or Tony find you both completely disingenuous in my opinion.
