Yep – all the bants with a Tory MP who ‘served’ when his party destroyed Libya and wanted to do the same to Syria (see my other post). There is no notion of responsibility in British politics.
I posted a reply to this thread this morning, mentioning the company responsible for the Rest Is Politics podcast – it hasn’t materialised. Can’t be anything to do with any advertising arrangements could it?
Although I’ve often been in broad agreement with many of Gary Lineker’s ‘controversial’ quotes regarding the plight of refugees, that has never stopped me from being of the opinion that he can shove them up his back passage. It is, after all, his company GoalHanger Podcasts who provide this platform for one of the people most responsible for all the misery and instability that primed the pumps for it – Alistair Campbell.
If that wasn’t bad enough he partners him with Rory Stewart – a Tory MP from 2010 who supported the destruction of Libya and voted for air-strikes on Syria – essentially for the RAF to become Al Nuzra’s airforce. He was chair of the Defence Select Committee when much of that conflict – especially the bogus CW allegations – were considered.
I’ve never listened to it, and won’t be watching, but I’m assuming the Rest Is Politics is a dull hour of chummily parochial banter between a pair of Establishment sensibles, both too keen to laugh at each others unbelievably obvious quips. I’m sure it’ll go from strength to strength on (PM)C4.

Excellent! A healthy dose of bipartisan debate!
No doubt it will be a touch too sophisticated for the braindead gammons who typically rage-post here!

SubscribeI would rather shoot myself than watch the Butcher of Baghdad lecturing me on electoral politics from the TV.

UH sometimes is inexplicable in its ” tilts”!

Why am I not surprised that you are a supporter of the Butcher of Baghdad?
