Who is the most annoying political commentator?

[reecejackox]

Can be anyone

I will start
Darren Grimes.

[LaLaLand]

Does Peston count?

[Swan]

Lily Allen (well she thinks she is, but ya know). Same with Hopkins. Both completely useless.

[Beso]

George?

[Mitchell]

Julia Hartley Brewer

[Marsh.]

Lily Allen (well she thinks she is, but ya know). Same with Hopkins. Both completely useless.

Lily Allen is a woman with an opinion.

Wouldn't really put her in the "commentator" bracket. Otherwise, every single one of us are "political commentators" surely?

[MTVN]

Aaron Bastani

[Liam-]

Darren Grimes
Toby Young
Tom Harwood
JHB
Owen Jones
Nick Ferrari

She was all over Question Time, and Marr, The Wright Stuff, even Daily Politics. However i see your point, hence why i put 'kinda'.

They all say annoying things but Owen Jones is the only one who manages to annoy me even on occasions when I agree with every word he's saying. Like "Hmm, yes I agree but I resent that I agree because of your face and voice". So I guess I have to say him :umm2:.

[user104658]

Oh **** I didn't know that Darren Grimes was that little tit from the videos someone kept posting on here. I take it back, he's quite a lot more annoying than Owen Jones. Full-on insufferable.

[Black Dagger]

Darren Grimes. ****ing gob****e. And only on the telly because that host of Dragons Den shot several loads in him.

What :skull:

[Kizzy]

Andrew Neil

[Black Dagger]

What :skull:

Its common knowledge lmao

[joeysteele]

Julia Hartley Brewer and Isobel Oakeshott really annoy me.

However being honest, just about all of them do.
They don't even try to hide their own agendas anymore.

Ido still like Owen Jones however.

Omg :skull:

Is it? Literally never heard that before, would make sense if he had a sugar daddy though, there’s no other reason for his exposure

Also pretty sure the same also applies to Tom Harwood.

[reece(:]

Julia Hartley Brewer
Isabel Oakenshott
Tom Harwood
That blonde tory Emily girl on Twitter
Melanie Phillips
Iain Dale
Camilla Tominey

Yeah there is something just repellent about him isn't there :joker: he creeps me out a bit.

I'm not overly political so I only come across "commentators" through happenstance. Also I'm a bit funny about voices so I'm not into being talked at through a webcam: laugh:

Does Jordan Peterson count? He sounds like ****ing Kermit.

[Black Dagger]

Maybe it was Tom I've got confused with then lol

Ben Shapiro has the worst voice

[Niamh.]

Ben Shapiro has the worst voiceHe sounds like an angry teenager all the time

[Oliver_W]

Oh god, Ben bloody Shapiro ...

My lil brother uses my youtube account and the feed thing is just crammed with those stupid Ben Shapiro BURNS students and crap like that.

If "winning" a "debate" against people who are most likely still in their teens with no real life experience and studying something like gender studies is the best people can say about Shapiro, what does that say about him?

[Livia]

I'm a bit of a fan... although I don't agree with him on everything. He does have some really good, positive stuff to say. Also he ****ed off Piers Morgan and that pleases me.

I used to hate Peston because of he awful.... haaalting… dragged. out. way. of speeeeeeeeaking. But he amuses me now.

[Liam-]

.

When he claimed Andrew Neil was a ‘radical lefty’ because he got his ass handed to him by someone who actually knows what they’re doing :joker::joker:

[Niamh.]

[Ammi]

Does this mean I can't say arista ??

Of Course
you can.

...:love:..

Was that the one when he stormed off? :joker:

[Niamh.]

Was that the one when he stormed off? :joker:Yep [emoji38]

[Oliver_W]

Yep [emoji38]

Okay I just watched a short clip from the end of the interview, and yeah it's ridiculous :joker: I wonder if he ever debates with, to coin a phrase, actual adults who actually know what they're doing. Is he the one who is/was a lawyer?!

[Livia]

Shapiro isn't on the Left, is he... so it doesn't surprise me to see people attacking him and cherry picking the interviews that suit. And a Jew too. Burn him because... Israel.

[Liam-]

Oh give it a rest, nobody cares that he’s a Jew, he’s just a twat

[Oliver_W]

To be fair Livia no-one said a single nice thing about Owen Jones either, and he's as left as they come :joker:

[Niamh.]

Shapiro isn't on the Left, is he... so it doesn't surprise me to see people attacking him and cherry picking the interviews that suit. And a Jew too. Burn him because... Israel.

Neither is Andrew Neil, so?

[Livia]

I don't see what that's got to do with anything.

[user104658]

Shapiro isn't on the Left, is he... so it doesn't surprise me to see people attacking him and cherry picking the interviews that suit. And a Jew too. Burn him because... Israel.I mean I've always found Shapiro annoying and I had no idea he was Jewish, and I find him less annoying than Owen Jones, but annoying for similar reasons... I don't think annoyingness is really about the viewpoints expressed or their political leanings... You can find people's personality and how they come across annoying or you can find their opinions annoying (or both). I think most people have taken this thread in the "annoying personality" sense? Like I said, Shapiro and Owen Jones have very different leanings but they have a very similarly irritating "vibe".

I never said he wasn't irritating... it is predictable though, how people pile en masse in when I've said something they can get a hook into.

Yes, Shapiro can be annoying and he says a lot of things I disagree with... for instance I don't agree at all with his stance on abortion. But he's said some stuff that I totally agree with too. And I guess what I admire about him most is the way he can have people attack him simply for who he is, they don't agree with him so they attack him - and most of the time he takes it on the chin.

Oddly, people are likely to defend themselves when they're accused of being antisemitic . . . Weird I know

What's weird is that you imagine I accused you of being anti-Semitic.

A wonderful video of a moron self destructing over nothing :flutter:

[Tom4784]

I've fallen down a rabbit hole now, it's rather fun watching that Shapiro idiot get destroyed over and over again in discussions and how quick he is to throw his toys out of the pram.

[Tom4784]

Shapiro just talks fast really, he hopes to overwhelm his opposition which is why he often only debates students because they are easy to throw off. When he comes up against someone competent, he completely falls apart because his usual empty tactics get cast aside.

I watched some of his interview with Joe Rogan actually and it was noticable how differently he speaks with him

Well he was right about Biden - Trump

[arista]

:oh:

I'm just trying to dislike Ben Shapiro in peace [emoji111]


Shapiro
is on Levin's Show
on FoxNewsHD tomorrow.

[The Slim Reaper]

Just to add some more context, Shapiro regularly questions the "jewishness" of jews that don't agree with his opinions and calls them JINO's; jews in name only.

Like a Wrestler

[Oliver_W]

I'd love to see Shapiro debate Kathy Newman. Even that Milo creature looked reasonable next to her, and of course Kermit Peterson wiped the floor with her, but somehow I get the feeling she'd win the upper hand with Shapiro.

[Zizu]

Sky News have two completely obnoxious ones Sam Coates and Beth ..

I dont agree at all. As usual Petersen started from his silly stupid unarguable position and gradually he retreated. The constant 'I didnt say that...etc' from Peterson only strengthened the feeling that he indulges in little more that pseudo intellectual word salad..

[GiRTh]

Ideeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeurs :smug:

Do you watch the majority report?Yeah but not much of aSam Seder fan. He's great when he's on MSNBC but he rambles far too much on his own channel

Neither came off hugely well, but he kept his cool and made his points clearly.

I'm the other way, I like Seder on his own show, but not his appearances.

[GiRTh]

I'm the other way, I like Seder on his own show, but not his appearances.I cant watch the long vids where he's talking for 10 minutes to show a two minute clip. Then when he shows the clip he's constantly stopping to give opinions and anecdotes. Its a bit self indulgent for me. I like Michael Brooks too but wish Sam would get to point.

They're both obsessed with Rubin though. The many vids dedicated to dunking on Rubin are very funny to watch. :joker:

I like the Sam vs Libertarians vids too. Brooks' black panther obama and right wing mandela impressions are gold.

I've not watched it since the broadcast :hehe:

Ben Shapiro: Trump's coronavirus response, “in terms of his actual policy, has been very good” (https://www.mediamatters.org/coronavirus-covid-19/ben-shapiro-trumps-coronavirus-response-terms-his-actual-policy-has-been-very)

To confirm how annoying this clown is. There have been no policies from Trump other than - Its going to go away; Governors you're on your own. Government wont help with testing; Children dont get it; Oppose any lock down guidelines for a haircut FFS etc.
