All I can do is laugh thinking about how WC must be turning in his grave over & over again now that GB has an Indian origin PM…🤣🤣🤣
It's beautiful to witness
I was just reading the other day, comments of my countrymen under an article of the Indian PM firing an Indian minister for being accused he can't handle masses of antisemitic protestors in the streets and for pointing out his police is backing off on the grounds of "being outnumbered". It was amusing to see them laugh at once a proud nation sink so low.
He’d be cheering that he’d fought against people like you.
Having Sunak as prime minister is not a good for England just as having Obama was not good for America. You never know the kind of leader who would come after Sunak but in the US we have what happened in response to Obama presidency. Trump was not supposed to be a leader of any civilized society but the Obama factor was exploited to stir the emotions of those who believe they own America...there is a possibility trump might sneak again in the WH.
Piers resorting to ad hominem attacks on his guest pretty much proves that his guest had a mastery of the facts and he did not.
The guest made personal comments first!
facts dont care about piers feelings
You have to give it to the young man, he was cool as a cucumber and made his point.😂😂
Are you kidding? He was constantly talking over Piers refusing to let him make his point.
@@Joseph-ax999 Good, finally got a taste of his own medicine.💁🏾♂️
Ross is 24 here in a situation where he's in the completely alien environment of a tv studio in Glasgow at 630am having got up at 4 to get there up against 3 seasoned professionals in their 40's/50's who are completely in their element on home turf and do this every day of the week and have done for decades.
He can't even see them so he's relying on an ear piece with 3 different voices, mostly just offering sneering ad hominems.
And he absolutely wiped the floor with them.
Piers flapping about unable to even read the quote properly that his research team have given him and very bizarrely talking about a language rather than a place over and over again ( ie Bengali) before apparently not understanding what ahistorical means. ( As if Ross would have been saying "wildly historical" - its nonsensical and not even English)
Honestly it was an embarrassment. And rent a historian guy fared little better than Susanna and Piers as he also seemed very heavy on personal insults and short on facts.
The fact that Ross in such a hostile unfamiliar environment on national live television at silly o'clock in the morning was able to calmly pull out dates and long quotes or diary passages from memory was really impressive.
Piers last line to a guest they've invited on their program was childish and actually pretty shameful to be honest.
And one other thing - together with everything else he got wrong - was his central point of "this creep ing rewriting of history to besmirch a national hero" It's literally the exact opposite. At the time Churchill was in politics the public had a much less one dimensional view of the man as an unimpeachable hero. They voted him out as Ross said and his own cabinet never mind the labour opposition weren't slow to list all his 'mistakes' in no uncertain terms.
Irs actually in the intervening time period he's increasingly been deified as this great British man amongst men who singlehandedly beat the Nazis. The revisionist history is that nonsense thats happened over 70 years, Ross is actually pushing back with what his colleagues and the public thought of him at the time.
The Americans saved Britain. If it weren’t for the USA, Britain would be speaking German right now.
@@GeorgeFuller-tu2ge Overly simplistic, the Americans didn't even enter the war until they were attacked so I'm not sure it was the selfless act of largesse you imply. And how about the Russians? What about their role?
Ffs Ross is a wee middle class diddy living with mummy 😂
Not a days work in his life
@@dave2408 Great highly intelligent counter argument. Well played sir.
@@GeorgeFuller-tu2ge You mean the Soviets, right?
I don't think Ive seen so much cope from a bunch of people ever in my life.
Wow.
This didn’t go the way piers wanted it to go. If you don’t let him talk over you he’s got nothing. Didn’t even know what ahistorical meant. Even the two clowns with him in the studio were embarrassed
What exactly did he say that was wrong? Bare in mind if say for instance the food had been given to regular people and not the troops, the war could have been lost and we could have been speaking German now...well i wouldn't I'm disbaled and a lesbian, I'd be in the gas chambers with the Jews.
Piers misheard and thought he said historical.
Everyone knows what ahistorical means.
😀
I am watching from Calcutta, West Bengal.
Facts are facts and they don’t care about your feelings 😎
The Scottish MSP was actually spot on-he said nothing false or otherwise inaccurate. They brought him on the show to find out why he thought Churchill was bad, yet acted surprised when he didn’t list out all of Churchill’s positives? And of course Piers resorted to personal insults when he realised he was losing the argument.
Pray tell hiw you would have handled the war, how you would have handled the decision to feed your troops to keep them healthy enough to fight, or regular people.
Pray tell what you're actually basing your opinion on, because it sure as hell isn't facts.
Go and look at the Nazi government's documentation at what they had planned for the world, not just Europe, the entire world.
Churchill is the reason there are still Bengalis, Africans, any ethnic minority, lesbians and gays and the disbaled, are still around today. Without him the Nazis would have absolutely won the war, are you racist or something? Homophobic? Because tou sure as hell seem it when you're claiming the man who stopped THE most evil power the wolrd has seen this far, there is no other explanation as to why you're calling the man who saved freedom bad.
Lastly why is it Mandela's past isn't factored into the view of him, he was a terrorist, an honest to god terrorist, by the standards put on Churchill Mandela was too a bad man. As was Ghandi, he was deeply racist....yes people who are not white can be racist! Who'd have thought it! Why isn't that factored into views of him? He's seen as some sort of saint, because the good he did outweighed the bad. The same applies to Churchill. He's the reason you have the right to air such an ignorant opinion, was he perfect? Absolutely not, perfection does not exist, every single one of us is a complex mess of a human being, that being said some human beings go on to do extraordinary things, like Churchill, Mandela and Ghandi, all three are deeoly flawed, but those flaws are heavily outwieghed but the good they eventually did.
Pray tell hiw you would have handled the war, how you would have handled the Nazis, how you would have handled the difficult choices like feeding the troops or feeding regular people, or choosing NOT to evacuat areas that were going to be bombed by air raids because doing so would have told the Nazis the enigma messages had been cracked...or have you ignored that bit of factual history? That Churchill had to let British people die, because he could not give the game away and let the Nazis know we had access to their secret messages?
What would you jave done with that information? You'd likely have given the game away and lost the war, leaving every single one of us alive today under Nazi rule.
It's far too simplistic to think Churchill was bad, he had views that were part and parcel of the era he lived, he still however lead the fight against the most evil power the world has seen this far. He had to bite his tongue and allie with Stalin, a man he hated with every fibre of his body, because without them we'd have lost the war.
You sit and judge when you clearly have no idea of the mega decisions that had to be made, that resulted in death no matter what, the only choice to be had was how many died and over what time period.
If we'd have lost the war we would be able to have this conversation, hell I'd have been killed by now because I'm a lesbian and I'm also disabled. Churchill is the reason so many people are alive today and the reason you can aur such a stupid ignorant opinion.
This young man is a hero, i salute him.
Quite a thing to be a man in your mid 50's and to be systematically dismantled by a kid of 24 with a far superior grasp of facts, figures and logic.
Piers talking about how offended he is and swinging for personal attacks 😂
Noticed that morgan never answered why Churchill's own minister had equated him with hitler.
The Entire TV Broadcast vs 24 years old
Piers best comeback- “you’re revolting” 😂
piers is only informed about history 15 mins before this program while this scottish guy definately sat down and learned the history as it was supposed to be.
....you mean how the SNP wer eusing the IRA to tell the Nazis they'd happily be their puppet government in Scotland?
The reason you can say such ignorant things is because of Churchill. I'm disabled and a lesbian I'd be dead, without a doubt, if the Nazis had won. Churchill was the ONLY one who dared to stand up nd say we had to stop the Nazis, that our values and culture and freedoms depended on it.
The only ignorant person here is you. It's amazing how Nelson Mandela was a terrorist, if Churchill was a racist and that nulls what he did, then fine, Mandela was not a man of peace he was a terrorist no better than ISIS.
Churchill is the reason I'm getting help from the state while I'm ill and waiting for surgery. Not labour, not the lib dems or the SNP, Churchill and the tories.
That’s wrong. I’m sorry but that’s willfully ignorant.
Piers supports churchill and has for a long time. Not 15 mins before this argument.
The scot was repeating outdated arguments ad nauseam.
@@peterbale402 supporting is different than learning facts about him. Learn how to read or dont write any comments. Churchill is basically the same thing with hitler. All britian is the same thing with the nazis.
@@ozanozenir2503
I just find it ironic that your mouthing off telling me to “learn how to read before writing comments”
When it is you who doesn’t even respond to anything I said, you wanna actually have an adult conversation or go with this childish tit for tat?
I understand where you’re coming from, try not to be mad at me for viewing things in a different way.
Can we just agree that Churchill wasn’t as bad as Hitler? Please?
I mean, if you wanna levy that claim, you’ll have to prove that Churchill directly caused a war that took 80 million lives, you’ll have to prove that churchill set up ghettos and subjugated brutal oppression onto an ethnic minority, you’ll have to prove Churchill rallied a nation to commit the worst atrocities in human history, to countless people.
All of which, I *know* you will have no luck trying to do.
Can we continue this conversation? Or will you continue to call me dum? You know I’m from Ireland, my people and ancestors were heavily, if not most influenced in a negative way by the British. And yet, because we got over it, Ireland is now a shining prosperous democracy. Unlike india and China, turned totalitarian because they refuse to collaborate with the colonizers of the past.
@@ozanozenir2503
Wow, CZcams censorship has gone to another level, here, I’ll give you my discord so we can actually talk on this like adults. Unless you wanna continue a childish tit for tat.
Piers Morgan thought he was gonna win this argument, and Ross just schooled him, and Morgan just sits with his arms folded like a petulant child.
Did you even watch the video? 😂🤡 Oh you must be Scottish right?.
@@Black1968Sabbath I watched the video and was born in England , Piers Morgan was schooled and was acting like a petulant child 🤡
@ace sigma Ohh So you're just a clueless Piers Morgan hater, got it 👍🏻.
@@acesigma06So you're ignorant to history? History we have documented in parliamentary papers, government papers and even actual film and photographic evidence?
If it weren't for Churchill, Mr ignorant, we'd be speaking German right now.
@@Black1968Sabbathno but its the truth. Piers and the others lost.
Totally agreed with the guy who has facts against Churchill. I mean, I can't judge Churchill for what he's done, but he's done lots of bad decisions as well. Putting him in the top tier list as the best Brit ever is not gonna be that pretty.
Not really. each 'fact' this kid mentioned were only half of the story. Like just saying 'Terror bombings of Dresden' or 'The Bengal famine' without context of why. They were tough decisions that needed to be made to win the war. Acting like Churchill wanted to kill of part of his own empire just to be 'evil' is stupid and untrue. The Nazis were sinking every cargo ship carrying food and supplies, the Japanese were expanding their empire across all of eastern Asia and the Pacific etc. The Terror Bombings of Dresden were horrible but essential for stopping the Nazi's from supplying their eastern forces against the Soviets and they hoped it would convince Hitler to surrender but unfortunately the Germans had a powerful propaganda minister that spun the story in their favour. There's a lot more to each of these issues but i'm just using these as an example that you can't just say someone is bad without looking at the bigger picture.
@@erundorgames8941You’re part of the problem, in denial gay boy
I mean the kid is not wrong.
He's more wrong than you would ever know
Everyone was racist for most of human history - the last 150 or so years is basically the only time it’s ever been attempted to be corralled.
this kid is absolutely right.
He’s spot on.
@@colinjennings3661 you are just deliberately ignorant. he does spit some facts on churchill. just because you dont like them doesnt make him wrong. grow up
'England has not lost a game of cricket since the war'
Facts over feelings.
Mandela did nothing that he would regret in his later years unless he was not fighting for freedom.
Three against one and they still somehow managed to lose the debate. Ross Greer should take great pride in that for the rest of his life.
this is the battle of the insufferables
David vs three Goliaths. They got flogged by this kid. 🤣🤣🤣
Piers doesn't know
That guy with glasses with a waist coat, who is he? Because he certainly isn’t a historian
piers always quick to call others racists whilst supporting every institution that supported racism.
Like which ones?
@@krunoslavkovacec1842 Lets start with crown clowns
and your racist old bird Elizabeth.
Very enjoyable!!
Well done, Ross - we deify flawed men far too often.
Get that man (Ross) a Bells!
WC took the hard decisions. Most of us are incapable of doing that, but some of us are incapable of admitting it and prefer to condemn those whom we should honour.
Piers Morgan, the Judge of morality.
He keeps it real
Piers does come across like a bit of a snowflake Karen...It's like Ross showed him pre photo shopped pictures of Kim K's arse or the out takes from Apocalypse Now when Brando swallows a fly. Morgan wasn't having any of it - he rounded up his posse and gave Ross a good talking to round the back of the bike shed.
Piers has a big mouth
Excellent debate performance from Ross! He won by a mile
You are on the side of this ignorant child?
Pierce isn't even on the same level as this kid.
Many in Scotland dont
Winston churchill was worse then any dictator he was a tyrant as a indian i am deeply saddened to see how still so many people in uk worship this tyrant my ancestors had died in the bengal famine i know the pain
I mean….
Why don't you call HITLER as a non racist in the same go.
What is the point of Ross Greer's tweet? Have we learnt from the past ? NO! What's the point of this discussion when most leaders past and present have made mistakes. Work on fixing today and the future ahead without Woke please!
His tweet was simply a response to a tweet that initially put out by the Tories that proclaimed Churchill was the greatest Briton ever.
Man, I'm glad I came back to this clip. Ross Greer gets more brilliant every time.
Guy looks like a match without Churchill he would be speaking German or not here at all
It was soviets who defeated nazis.
Churchill didn't win the war. It was the soldiers, sailors and airmen who actually fought and died who won the war, as Ross stated. You also clearly didn't listen to when he said that his grandmother was almost killed in the Clyde Bank Blitz because Churchill refused to supply the AA batteries with ammunition, thus he nearly didn't exist at all.
As a Scottish born person who lived through WWII I hope this child grows up some time. He makes me despair of the young and ignorant I would hate to meet him.
You must be oldest person in Scotland?
Not really a debate, Piers got told!!
How much is Ross paying you? Has he promised you a high ranking position in his non-existent future government?
@@HomemadeBrownies1 The fact that you think Ross needed to pay someone to agree with him that a white supremacist was a white supremacist is hilarious to me.
@@HomemadeBrownies1 HAhahahahaha one billion dollars
@@HomemadeBrownies1haha you got told you little bitch.
Don’t ever forget these new presenters this is entertainment
YYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, I love this Ross guy, LET HIM COOK! LET HIM COOK! LET HIM COOK!!!
winston churchull not fit enough to lace my boots
Susanna loved that at 7:25 😂 seeing piers ego get wobbled
What about Kenia?????
Mr Gray is correct he brought the army into South Wales to disperse the miners from striking.
"he brought the army into South Wales to disperse the miners from striking."
- A total, utter, and complete lie.
. . . .
@mauricebuckmaster9368 It's not a lie though. During the Tonypandy Riots, Churchill sent the Lancashire Fusiliers and 18th Royal Hussars into South Wales. He expressed his regret for it later in his career.
Dresden, Galipoli and a lost empire
2 million views!! Wow!! I find it odd this video only has 15 comments though.. now 16 lol. Makes me wonder why that is.
Why wont Morgan acknowledge anything negative about Churchill? He then accuses the Scottish man of having a blinkered view.
Piers got told
Why great Britain cannot be honest about it's history😂😂 pierce Morgan can't even handle, and it seems even he doesn't know history🤣
I am an eighty year old English man and I have been in the merchant navy and the Royal Air Force so I have met a lot of Scots. Most of those were great lads, a lot of banter between English and Scots that usualy ended in laughter. The tnuc appearing here is a typical barrack room lawyer.
Nah not isolated and unique
I'm with him
Ross spanked them with facts.
Churchill was the same as Hitler.
This is such a double-digit IQ take.
Why don’t you ever listen to people that actually lived this event instead of having these two presenters making out like they know what really went on? Haven’t got a clue is written and changed. These kind of people speak to people that actually live this life like my parents and my grandparents.
Piers is terrible at debating, he loves the sound of his own voice, even if he is talking absolute gas.. Let people speak and stop steering the debate to your bias views
Piers Morgan shows himself to be a 3rd rate debater (even though he was supposed to be interviewing rather than debating).
Piers and the other two hosts are snowflakes. They are having a tantrum and are not resorting to facts but "my feelings hurt".
Yeah, although Susanna is more sweet and polite... she's as ignorant as Piers on numerous issues and wastes debate time asking irrelevant questions and scolding Piers
As an Indian, I wish to say that what happenned 80 years ago is a closed chapter. India and UK are geopolitical allies now. We need to focus on the NOW - against the twin threats facing the free world - Theocracy and State Capitalism.
Mandela met Satan’s Evil Seeds (Genesis 3:15) he NEVER REGRETTED fighting them for their Genocide in South Africa & his efforts were Vindicated. 🙏🏿🙌🏾
I'm always flabbergasted by the ability of these people of make me agree with pierce Morgan
People need to stop getting upset about History they read yesterday like it’s news.
Nicola Sturgeon in drag.
Right now the Brit’s are being replaced…
i hate this world
Don't lie. We don't celebrate Winston Churchill.
He fled across the channel first 3 yrs of ww2
Churchill was and is cited as emblematic of "Great Britain" by the everyone from BNP, UKIP, Reform, Reclaim, and the increasingly extreme Tories. They have their own dark reasons for that - and perhaps Churchill would agree with much of it.
Putting anyone on a pedestal to the point where legitimate criticism is met with such bile from the likes of Morgan and his friends in the right-wing press.
Churchill was an effective leader in WW2, but he was also all the things Ross Greer said here. And it is worth saying rather than the panglossian hero worship we are routinely fed by our "patriotic" press.
Piers is getting cooked fr
Piers is angry,he’s really not smart,don’t know history 😢😢😢😢
God I hate Piers Morgan
So you will defend Hitler as a complex historical character as well..
If not, then, don’t use that as an excuse for Churchill ..
He may not have committed the same crime against the one innocent group of people, but he did it against many groups of people ..
Ross Grier is correct.
Morgan couldn’t handle CNN because those guests wouldn’t allow him to talk over them. He has no good arguments. Like it or not the young man had facts. Morgan had insults😂😂😂
5 years later still living with his mummy and daddy
wow, embarrassed to be Scottish , I did a study on German bombing in Scotland in WW2 and this dude is talking bull. Yes, the bombing in Scotland right till the end of WW2 was hugely underplayed but this dude is cherry picking, happy to explain further to anyone who is interested.
This Greer child needs to take history lessons , and grow up
Wait ?!??!
Joe 90 is real ??!?
USA used 2 nukes
I actually can't stand Piers. He is evil.
When a ginger teachs history as it should to 3 Churchill fannboys trolls!
For those who love the truth read The British Mad Dog by M S King.
its people like ross who would hide under his bed instead of fighting for freedom .
a 24 year old punk ,who hasnt done anything for humanity takes a insulting poke at a great leader .
You have to admit it’s very entertaining
The Scottish guy was on point,
Everything he said is true.
Absolutely a brilliant marshaling of history by the Scottish MP! The MP if right about the Welsh miners and their visceral hatred for Churchill. If Churchill was so popular after the war, how come he lost an election?
I'm from South Wales I think Churchill was great
I’m from Ireland and same.
@@awesomeguy-rq8zwYou think the man that sent the Black and Tans and the Auxiliaries to Ireland was “great”? Now there’s a minority view.
@awesomeguy-rq8zw Oh yes churchhill was a great friend of Ireland......sending us the hated black and tans. A bully boy and full of his own and British importance.....much like pierce Morgan and Co.
I'm with the Scott of course.
Piers gets a bit of back up and then goes mad and abusive
piers lost
The value of staying calm in an argument. My god how Piers and pals looked like petulant prats!
Churchill was a villain !
