It’s so refreshing to see two people with different views have a civilised conversation. Keep it up. Please.
This was a great hour of talk......thank you both!
The UK desperately needs electoral reform to a PR system.That is the starting point for the change we need.
It's got its downsides but I'm inclined to agree
PR with compulsory voting would create a much needed change.
@@rickwilmot9127 PR might win support, compulsory voting would never get enough public support
@@aituk It works in Australia. The problem in the UK is apathy..
@@rickwilmot9127 I'm not saying it wouldn't work. Yes if you fine people for not voting they will most definitely vote.
My point is it would require a referendum to change the voting system and it wouldn't win, not even close.
How I miss two sides debating like reasonable human beings and what we've become lately
This is what politics should be . No swearing no name calling. Great radio
No just saying the general public "have a lack of understanding about politics" 🤣
At last - public speaking should be compulsory in state schools.
And listening and understanding I think
Learning how to speak used to be taught in all schools and it was called rhetoric. However, the elites quickly found out that teaching poor working class people how to properly talk and articulate their thoughts was too dangerous, so the purpose of education was changed to focus on the production of obedient workers.
Im sick of hearing about Iraq, it was a bad decision 20 years ago. Since then i have had tory government after tory government. Each weirder and more right wing than the last
I know diddums tiresome to hear about an invasion that cost thousand of innocent lives, who cares right? Back to Bojo
Because of the Dodgy Dossier.
I tell that the couple in my road whose son died at 21 out there sent to war on a pack of lies campbell should be a convicted war criminal by now
@@mellowado6184 Because people can’t get over the ‘dodgy dossier’ to the extent that they allow worse things to happen.
@@wales123100 The world is better without Saddam Hussein. He killed at least 250,000 Iraqis and used chemical weapons on them.
If I could work out that Brexit wouldn't and couldn't be beneficial to The UK, then anyone could. So in my opinion, they are thick. Sorry!
“Every vote counts” I I hear you say ! It doesn’t if you live in Scotland !
I do listen to the rest is politics but to pretend it's a proper debate is nonsense. They agree on so much every week.
I'm imagining David Cameron as Alan Partridge - most stories in the autobiography end with "needless to say, I had the last laugh"
"it's a mixture of apathy and cynicism and a total lack of understanding of what it is and what it's meant to do"...wow that was a little condescending...cynical?, of course, just like our politicians here in the states neither party has really helped ordinary people and you insult our intelligence by thinking we don't see the alliance between industry and government, that both sides of the aisle have the same masters, this is why we can't have nice things(just a thought from an ordinary commoner)
It's true.
Maybe you see and understand it. Problem is that most others actually don’t…..
The rights main goal is generate apathy. "What can I do" is exactly they want to hear it stops voter turn out, it creates division through lack of power. And the voter dose have power and that is something the right hate.
Found these weapons of mass destruction yet Campbell ?
Why we can’t all get along I’ll tell you why, you have 52% of the population a lot less now wanting poverty, wanting economic destruction, wanting a devaluation of the pound, wanting inflation but at the same time wanting to be mitigated from the effects of their choices poverty! And their solution is to tax everybody else to the hilt to offset the consequences of their choices and therefore putting the burden of poverty on people in work by taxing them to the rafters. A govt’s 1st goal should always be economic prosperity, economic growth as this is what drives wealth creation and creates increased tax revenue that then can be injected into public services and raise the standards of living for all! When you have a govt that wants to shrink the economy and increase taxation to offset the loss in tax revenue to suit the whims of people out of work such as pensioners or benefit scroungers then you have a total breakdown in the relationship between business, workers and the govt and the welfare state!
Sad that it's quite believable - almost something to take for granted - that a Times reviewer might not have read a book they were reviewing. Kind of encapsulates how low a status and reputation the UK press now has. The Times, once a by-word for quality and high standards, is now just another low-grade tabloid.
💯 %👍 👍 👍
Whens he going to put together another dossier?
Regarding Presidents, you hit the mail on the head, the Irish have a fantastic system because the are just PR except for a very specific constitutional brake. It’s the system that works, not just the person.
I have to say that I find Alister Campbell both fascinating intelligent & a very interesting speaker .
Shame about the awkward bits like sending us to war with his dodgy dossier
Alister loved it when you showed how thick that blonde Alex..somthing..well done also noticed when you pulled up the interviewer ..she next interview really stuck it in to her next Brexit idiot!! Well done!!
Sorry. He was totally vile towards her
@@christinefiedor3518He is deluded.
@@christinefiedor3518 Get a grip you wet lettuce
I quarantee you she sleeps better at night than him with all those deaths in Iraq on his consience
He made himself look an idiot and got the facts wrong.
She was right on the 2 points he denied
Don't think he list his tempter on news night, he slapped them with some home truths dland pulled them up on the lies directly to there faces.
To the close of this broadcast there’s reference to Trump and I remember
laughing with gallows humour when he was elected, then Boris was elected and my glee and fear was embarrassing
There isn't much clear water between the centre left and centre right. Thats why centrists can have decent conversations. Our politics has become polarised and that narrows down the chances of reasonable conversation and raises the chances of angry and disrespectful dissing of opponents. In a liberal democracy your opponents are the opposition not the enemy and can be lived with; in populist politics everyone who doesn't agree with you totally is an enemy not an opponent and must be eliminated.
Give it another 45 mins and that WMD will hit your studio 🎉
Oh look, two tories!
Yes that's why they can have civilised discussions.
I tried to watch this as i like listening to AC, but right-wing ID repulses me far more...
Props for all the self control on display about brexit lol
Top man Alistair Campbell 👍👍👍
You could start by being accountable to the decisions and actions you've made when in power. Like your role in realising the dossier that lead the nation into an illegal war ✌️🏾
He sat through a series of investigations into his role. You not might like the outcome, but he was accountable.
So... Like... I don't have that much confidence in those enquiries given how generally corrupt our systems are but at the end of the day he's been before about a dozen lawyers and several incredibly lengthy and detailed public inquiries.
He's submitted himself to far more scrutiny and accountability than the likes of Johnson or Hancock ever have.
Be mad at the system at this point. And do make sure to actually read the inquiry reports.
@@rory7590 the reason why I don't think he was held accountable is the invasion was deemed illegal he had a hand in creating the dossier which contained false information that lead us to the illegal war.
what it means is that politician go through less scrutiny for their actions than you or me.
@@claudeumuhire1625 When people say ‘the Iraq war was illegal’ one has to remember that this is, in fact disputed. It is certainly a view held by some well qualified people, but nobody has ever prosecuted or sanctioned any government for this. As mentioned, there have been a number of internal inquiries by the British parliament, but nothing where a figure like Alistair Campbell or Blair have been directly censured. Again, you might not like this outcome, but there it is. He was held to account on multiple occasions, but nothing came of it.
I won't get into a long discussion I totally understand that there were internal investigations. I believe internal inquiries by your peers hold very little utility in getting to the truth of anything.
And the winner is... NOT Farridge 😂
The state being generous with the pension? Was that irony?
Was anyone gaslit? Did anything get gaslit? Who got gaslit?
Blairs advisor . What laugh look where we are.
I like Campbell but he's wise enough to know that politics can't change the way he says he wants it to change and he is part of the problem he talks about himself but he's trying to pretend that he's not. So I think he's talking cr ap
There is a rejoin campaign I think in Leeds? But I get emails all the time from rejoin campaigns. A man heading the Leeds group was on the Sunday Roast You Tube Programme last Sunday or the one before.
Prison
he was right about her
I think Alistair has forgotten that 3,000,000 people marched against me Iraq war and had no effect. Perhaps he can explain how people can empower themselves when they are totally ignored .
At the time of the vote in the House of Commons, when the marches were happening, polls suggested that a majority of the public were actually supporting action to be taken in Iraq. The MPs voted in favour of it, including a greater percentage of Conservative MPs than Labour. While some claimed that the case for Iraq was misleadingly presented - the reality, that is often forgotten in retrospect, was that there was a significant number of public in support of it at the time.
Yes people made there mind up on the evidence he spun and presented dodgy dossiers man's a monster get him in the haque
@@wales123100 Even this I don’t agree with. The reason being, having lived through these events, is that people who marched against it had already pretty much made up their minds regardless of any ‘spin’ coming their direction. A lot of what people consider being anti-Iraq war was largely in retrospect. At the time, the situation was much less clear than we view it now.
@@rory7590 I lived it I actually marched we said at the time that Blair was in hoots with Bush to take revenge on anyone for 9/11 and that there was no evidence of wmd and that the inspectors should be given the time they asked for what bit were we wrong about that?
@@rory7590 Yes and they were misled, just like half the people were misled over Brexit. Very few critical thinkers out there.
The UK should have another referendum it's place is firmly at the heart of the European Union 🇪🇺
Ukraine CP deal is best deal for the uk all goods and some services limited movement of persons partly european court of justice
Cant stand the man 18.35
War criminal.
I love this civilised conversation but hate Brexit.
Bring back the thumbs down counter, RUclips 👎👎
when was the communications guy the snr advisor and will that make his crimes against humanity easier to prosecute?
You sound to me like a cap doffer,and you call your boss sir
Alastair is not a politician, he has got a maverick temper and the red mist descends. The Roy Keane of new labour, gets sent off a lot but the first name on the team sheet.
Compulsory voting....YES!!!
NO!
YES!
@@rickwilmot9127 NO!
@@kelly89420 YES!!! 😆
@@rickwilmot9127 NO! 🤣
Really rich to talk about a young Iraqi lad being angry after he killed a million of his people
Come back Alastair, we need some strong and honest men to lead the country
Campbell what a spent force, what an irrelevance.
Who is your idea of being relevant
Absolutely.
Is that why he has the number one Podcast month after month?
No accounting for taste
Yet here you are
Why don't local councils have rules about dogs on leads? Isn't it more their domain than the national Government?
All
Those nice plqces qnd u done poons
Senile Advisor....is more like .
Pratt Campbell
Campbell is one of the main reasons the people have so much apathy and cynicism.
Why mention Trump. That’s U.S.A. Business Just like Barmy Biden. I would trust Campbell like Tony B Liar.
The self importance arrogance is staggering. Book,book booook booooooooooooooooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Well he’s on to promote his book so not really surprising that he mentions it
'Look at where it all went wrong'? Look to your own Party, Campbell.
In all fairness when Campbell was last in office the UK went through its greatest ever period of prosperity and the NHS was No.1 in the world AND No.1 for value too.
Since then the UK has had its worst period in modern history. The NHS is curmbling due to mismanagement and growthg is lowest in G7
@@henryburton6529 And thousands of innocent Iraqis lost their lives based on a lie Campbell was complicit in peddling.
@@mbrierley144brierley3 I marched against that war, I am fully aware of his part in that awful decision
@@mbrierley144brierley3 Also, 100% of Conservative MP's voted for the war. Far less than that from Labour
@@henryburton6529 Have you forgotten that Blair was in power and acting on the 'dodgy dossier' presenting lies as facts?
POLITICS IS THE REASON WE ARE IN SUCH A MESS.
It's time ordinary people took over everything and completely ignore politicians.
is that you Malcolm Tucker ?
There weren't enough expletives, and I can't find a usable quote unfortunately..
Why we can’t all get along I’ll tell you why, you have 52% of the population a lot less now wanting poverty, wanting economic destruction, wanting a devaluation of the pound, wanting inflation but at the same time wanting to be mitigated from the effects of their choices poverty!

Of course the real scroungers by a big margin are the Tory cronies who have filled their pockets off our backs for the last few years, particularly from the covid pandemic, the Tory tax evaders and avoiders and the multitude of privatised monopoly utility companies that have leached £££ 100s of billions from us over the last few decades and still don't provide what we have paid them for. All these vile people cost us 100x more than the unemployed and 10 thousand times more than the deliberate dole scroungers.
Benefit Scroungers ? Give it a rest will yer ,
Economic prosperity and growth is bull! It just means our society being bled dry to increase the bonuses of the very few at the top of the pyramid. A government's priority should be ensuring it's people are safe and healthy, in a stable system.
