As TS said, seasonings of salt should be applied when listening to him, but when he's in his lane he can be spot on.
I think his reputation and profile was greatly helped by that Cathy Newman interview, where she (willingly?) misinterpreted everything he said which made her seem either spiteful or comparatively dumb. I think anyway - I only actually saw it when it was first broadcast, I haven't rewatched it or watched some youtubing goon analyse it lol.
