To be honest GiRTh, I'm gonna stop talking about him now in this thread, because this is now taking this thread off topic, (started by me, admittedly) but I may start a thread on him sometime in the future.

Yes, that's the interview. Not sure if this is an edited version or not. If Jimmy Carr, Ricky Gervais and Frankie Boyle are mentioned, then I think that is the full version.

What an utter mess that interview is. I think his "jokes" are insensitive and not acceptable - that shouldn't be hard to successfully argue - but this shambles makes it look impossible?? The attempt to address the issue here is painful to watch. The BBC really is verging on complete incompetence these days in my opinion, it's just two people talking over each other and the interviewer reading out A4 sheets of twitter comments like they mean anything at all when picked out with an agenda... it's just unreal. No attempt at all at ANY sort of dialogue. WHERE is the actual reasoned debate?

GiRTh · 24-05-2019, 01:05 AM

Three minutes in and I'm cracking up. He's playing the victim. 'Its a joke about you'. I dont get it

I do agree though, her interview technique is terrible

GiRTh · 24-05-2019, 01:05 AM

Having said that the bit about 'there not being enough beer' would have been funny enough.

GiRTh · 24-05-2019, 01:13 AM

He lost it when she started reading out the quotes from rape victims. Poor and exploitative interview technique.

He didn't lose anything, he got free publicity from the BBC, the majority of the country whether left or right are probably not the BBCs biggest fans right now, and he was giving it to them, which would have had people on his side. This was a major success for Benjamin.

Not impressed with him at all.

It was a horrible exploitative interview but he didn't come across at all impressive IMO and as for ideas? Dont make me larf. Playing the victim, making confusing statements, he looked lost for about 3-4 minutes when she was reading out the many quotes from sexual violence victims. He's right though, she cant speak for all those people but his lack of an answer was awful.

The free publicity will help but is this the best Ukip have got?

GiRTh · 24-05-2019, 01:15 AM

At 8.23 he actually said people are being 'radicalised.

Less than ten minutes in and I'm not impressed Alf. Does it get better?

GiRTh · 24-05-2019, 01:19 AM

10.56 'I want comedy to come back to this country'

Strange take on it IMO

What's wrong with that statement?

Is he the person to head the movement with his crass rape jokes? Comedy aint coming back if he's trumpeting the cause.

Strange take though due to the nature of the interview. She kept trying to shame him and I thought it was a strange thing to focus on given that.

By the way, that was an edited version, there was no mention of Gervais, Carr and Boyle. The full version see's Carl destroying her to silence.

I appreciate that. I think she mentioned it right at the end.

I'll see if I can find the full version.

Anyway GiRTh, let's let this thread get back on topic, because we'll end up getting deleted.

I've always liked exchanging opinions with you, you're a very reasonable and well mannered guy, I can definitely learn from you.

Cheers mate.

We disagree on just about every political topic but I think we always keep it clean and can take a bit of ribbing from each other. We can learn from each other
