Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Thank you Winston

Why should BJ massage Neil’s ego?

Nothing new would come out of it.

He can't go on now or it would look like he'd been bullied into it.

Unprofessional of Neil.

He’s no David Frost, who I think he models himself on

He's been good in the past.

This time though he's been dredging up old interviews and using leftist smear tactics (even though he edited the Spectator).

Corbyn is an anti-semite.

Farage is a racist.

No doubt if Johnson had gone on he'd have been accused of being racist too.

I agree but isn’t it just producing something that the mainly uneducated audience want and expect?

Viewing figures for that show may disagree with your statement, unless everyone looking in is also uneducated.
Politicians seem to think the public are fools when actually some are not and would rather deal in facts rather than listen to spin, spin and more spin.

You could definitely say that's it's playing to the Twitterati, but they probably wouldn't watch it anyway.

The BBC is struggling for relevance in the age of Netflix, YouTube and TikTok.

If your asking what keeps her going on a as mental level I’m not sure pride maybe? Stubbornness? Her family? Maybe nothing, I’m sorry I don’t know.

All I’m trying to say is we may envy her wealth but she may envy our freedom. Ever read the prince and the Pauper. It really opens your eyes on how two people can view the world

This diversion from the main thread topic is fantastic This is irony at it's best, I take my hat off to you sir
