Best QT for a long time, the audience is the angriest for ages.
Conrad Black the star of the show, by far.
Audience I expected. The North.Conrad Black the star of the show, by far.
Interesting point of view from Black. I like Canadians... Australians, Kiwis. But then that's the Anglosphere for you.
ETA: Varoufakis is always interesting to listen to.

Conrad Black just said
"You British are one of the greatest nations on Earth".
Why on Earth can people like JawKnee and Zod not see that this is true?
I get lambasted when I use the term "traitors".
Go figure!
We are one of the greatest countries on earth. Unfortunately loons like you have significantly weakened our position for decades to come with your petty racism against Europeans."You British are one of the greatest nations on Earth".

You should be tried for treason.

Agreed....until the very end. He stumbled with the egg but retained the spoon.
Did you catch the audience Member (Blondie, middle aged) who confused Cameron with Blair?
I think she was trying to make the point that Blair said he would be PM for the term, then when he saw the impending mess resigned, as did Cameron.Did you catch the audience Member (Blondie, middle aged) who confused Cameron with Blair?

...and at the other end of the spectrum Yanis Varoufakis was as sharp as a tack.
I'm not so sure.I quite like the guy. And have some admiration for the way he handled himself when in office.
And I guess I should also make it abundantly clear that I am in no way against immigration (having worked abroad a fair bit it would be somewhat hypocritical).
But I do smile when politicians make statements like "Greece has been taking in shed loads of immigrants for decades and it's made it a stronger country".
I desperately want to ask "in what way?".
Greece is in the toilet right now. And likely to be for the foreseeable future. Immigrants are unlikely to be the primary cause of this, but it's hard to see how the country could have been any weaker!
I also find it hard reconciling someone like him thinking the EU can be reformed from within.
