I would love to see Hask and his Prestige Worldwide presentation to World Rugby, he can finish with Nessun Dorma.
I couldn't bring myself to watch the dh past the 15 minute mark
I hear what your saying
Britain playing power games on Americas coat tails ! 😡
It’s a pity he can’t see he’s own hypocrisy!
@@seanmoran2743 absolutely Sean. Folk need to realise that the 19th century was the British century and the 20th was the American but that we're now in the Chinese century
Orange Man Bad. It's only fascism if I say it is. 'Holocaust' can only be used in one instance. Dreadful stuff.
My 8th Army Veteran Grandfather told me with the most haunted look on he’s face
That he didn’t know why he bothered fighting away for 6yrs when looking at the country and that was in the 90s before he sadly passed away before he’s time
Roberts spouting the "special relationship" myth. Yikes.
I’ve become a bit disillusioned with that.
Roberts made reference to the Suez Crisis, but it wasn’t that Eden was wrong to take action over Suez without American support. It was the failure of the US to provide political support in the face of soviet sabre rattling that turned a justifiable military intervention into a foreign policy failure.
@@nonical1429 the USA absolutely can rely on it's most ardent vassal lol (currently)
Amusing to hear Christians object to genocide, given their weak objections at the time. As for genocide, it need involve no killing.
"Essential reading for any thinking Tory". Now there's and oxymoron if there ever was one.
Looks like you know what you're talking about
@@adrianbarnard8170 Having lived through the Thatcher and Major years in the UK I certainly do.
Maybe we can recognize that there are great thinkers on both sides of the political spectrum? - or shall we just pretend that those who disagree with us are intellectually deficient? - that way we don't have to engage with their ideas. Sounds remarkably fascistic. No?
I highly recommend Col Douglas Macgregor Retired
Re Ukraine and China
And to paraphrase Col Macgregor about another historian (military) who’s pro western involvement
I suggest the gentleman get he’s fatigues on and go himself- put himself under the artillery fire of the Russians
No he's a Russian mouthpiece. Glory to the heroes. Glory to Ukraine.
Alex Jones' more literate brother
The trolls have landed. Amusing to read such criticism of Roberts from such ignoramuses. And rather funny how many of all these alleged different people are not aware of the difference between "he's" and "his"....
Disappointingly ill-reasoned opinions presented as facts, and not applying the same logic to his own statements. Couldn't finish.
AR's take on Special Relationship and Russia is utterly weak and modern English Tory nonsense.
Worst speaker EVER. He shames Roger Scruton's memory.
