@blackmichael75 It is a political debate, politeness is nice but not required, especially if the foreigner sees bias in the reporting, politeness doesn't come into it.
@tubehows4life Yeah it is. Imagine a British politician interviewed on an American news channel who started telling them that they should fire their reporters. It's just unbearable arrogance and rudeness.
@blackmichael75 With respect your sensibilities are irrelevant to debating elections. I wouldn't object to George Galloway telling a Fox News anchor show held in Britain about UK elections about their bias and their sloppy reporters. I don't think that is simply rude, the situation is a bit beyond that. This context was fine to me, especially given the American style of flair which he shouldn't withhold just because he is on the BBC. They invited him on, so he gives it his way.
@blackmichael75 I know, it doesn't mean it would be out of order if he was like he was in the Senate...hmm?
When someone plays the disrespect card they presume to control the debate. Respect is in the eye of the beholder (eg I think it was fine) so when someone plays your card it is presumptuous. Maybe the guy should be fired, it is up to him to voice that opinion, not you or I on his behalf on his behalf. You can only agree/disagree with him, not tell him how he should voice it.
@tubehows4life Look, I'm not trying to censor this cunt. Although he probably would happily censor others. But by the same token, I am allowed to point out when he's being incredibly arrogant and rude, contributing to declining standards all round. Don't waste your energy defending the free speech of this neo-con bastard.
@blackmichael75 You being allowed to point out if you think he is rude is not in dispute. The fact that you did is what is, especially on the basis of him being a foreigner.
No John. The media isnt there to be the fucking PR team of the politicians. Infact, that's why the American media SUCKS. Because they're all afraid to ask truly tough questions of politicians out of fear that they'll be kicked off their tour buses and private planes.
This is just John Bolton being a clueless dick - again.
The British media grill all politicians - right, left, central, whatever. Just watch jeremy paxman to get a flavour of this. If he wants delusional right wing workship whilst receiving a blowjob from a male news anchor then he needs to stick to fox news.
I hope right now, Bolton’s cleaning dog sick off the floor with his smug moustache whist being bummed by Texan oil barons. Remind him of when he was in office.
Bolton’s such a dick. He’s arguing over the fact that the reporter hinted that Colorado is a Republican stronghold because over the last ten elections, nine times they’ve voted Republican. The interviewee disagreed – and Bolton thinks that is being argumentative!
Bolton was sent to the UN because he’s an arrogant politician who thinks nobody should ever question him or anyone else in his party – he’s the complete embodiment of a cock-head!
In this instance he was right, I remember this. The interview that the reporter did was painfully embaressing- pretty much haranging a right winger because he didnt support Obama. I like how whatshisname from QuestionTime holds onto his composure fully though- I wish I could do that. Id get a lump in my throat and a quivering voice.
@Pentdad I remembered very much different. The reporter was paralleling the state election v. the federal election. The reporter merely pointed out that the elections had been historically split. That carpet/drapes dumb fuck doesn't speak from an American perspective on any one's part. God damn, he was an unconfirmed UN bastard. Typical bush appointee.
"That's the kind of bias in the media that drives Americans crazy..." What an idiot. Out of touch with reality. Just saw another interview with him live on BBC. I don't think I've listened to anyone that I've felt hate for as much. I feel the hate radiating from this man as he speaks. Republicans are such idiots. God help us all if they get the presidency back.
If John Bolton lost the top ten inches of his head, it wouldn't make any difference.
If anyone reading that is dumb enough to call that a "threat" to him, it's no more a "threat" than Bolton saying it wouldn't matter if the UN building lost its top ten floors. If my words are a "threat" for his beheading - which they aren't - then Bolton is the bigger threat for advocating the bombing of the UN.
@TheAdjundantReflex - Bolton is a fascist, a subhuman from the bad old days of the "School of the Americas" when the US overthrew democracies and imposed pro-US fascist governments.
Bolton is a muppet. In America the interviewers kiss the politicians' arses. In Britain they actually ask difficult questions that expose the politicians for the corrupt lying cunts that they are.
John Bolton is a lying cunt. He has been exposed as a liar on numerous occasions by British journalists and it gets under his skin.
Fuck off Bolton you lying cunt. Your bitter hatred of Muslims is not required by normal human beings.
@sausagedogheaven So true. I have always remembered an interview with lefty John Stewart about politics, He stated that he didn't like the westminster as it was inappropriate to interrogate or question the president in such a away. he said in america it is all about respect for the position.
explains why politicians arn't often held to account by journos in the us
@sausagedogheaven I was trying to think of good way to express my utter contempt for this dolt. Then I read your comment. Thanks for saving me the trouble. Peace
@sausagedogheaven They may be politer/less willing to dishonestly trip them up like a court cross-examination (and even that is relative), but they sure dont kiss politician's backsides when questioning them.
Tiy haven't shown the report John Bolton is mad at. So how can anyone judge whether he is right or wrong?
Since I haven't seen the preceeding report, and since I have enormous respect for John Bolton, and since I have seen BBC do exactly the tricks he accuses them of doing on very many other occasions, I will judge that he is right.
Nobody is saying we must flood African countries with mass immigration to make them more multicultural. Nobody is saying we must flood Asian countries with mass immigration to make them more multicultural. Nobody is saying we must flood South American countries with mass immigration to make them more multicultural.
Multiculturalism and mass immigration into White countries and White countries only is GENOCIDE.
@Alphaman7100 But Europe has spent hundreds of years violently conquering Asia, the Americas and Africa in order to "civilise" and dominate them. Haven't you heard of the EuroAmerican genocide of 15 million Native Amercans? Haven't you heard the expression "They came with the Bible and left with the land"? Didn't the US import millions of slaves into the US from Africa, not to mention the Spanish, Portugese, Dutch etc...read some history.
@Alimantado91 You anti-Whites talk about my race as though we are particularly evil. Hitler spoke in similar terms about the Jews.
"Because of history" is not justification for White GENOCIDE. You anti-Whites say that White people don't have a right to Europe either. So let's not pretend that this is about the rights of native peoples.
You're not really anti-racist, you're just anti-White.
Anti-racist is really just a code word for anti-White.
@DoodlebugConspiracy First of all if you want anyone to care about your opinion I suggest you don't start your posts with 'fagtard'. It shows you to be crude, homophobic and childish.

And they don't need to bankrupt themselves by wasting $2,000,000,000 a week occupying Iraq, $2,000,000,000 a week occupying Afghanistan - and $102,000,000,000 a year supporting 865 bases around the rest of the world.
hahaha oh wow, at the end he says, "well I think is very hard to judge" while he keep judging the other guy... double standards are sooo common on the western world..
this idiot says that that's the type of bias in the media that drives americans crazy. Americans couldn't tell what's biased to save their lives!! Look at O'reilly! Hannity! Colmes! All of american media! It's outrageous witnessing that when viewing it from the outside. If americans want to see news and know how things are a bit better they ought to see it from outside sources, because america is seriously FUCKED UP. Stupified dumbed down nation with a population fully lacking critical thinking
@DobbyKing1 Will you get put in prison if you refuse to pay for Fox News? Because if you want to own a television the law in the UK forces you to fund the BBC.
Regardless of what you think of John Bolton it is a fact that the BBC has a BLATANT liberal bias in reporting politics. Especially its coverage of american politics where the entire narrative is Democrat party talking points. Thats just a fact.
"it is a fact that the BBC has a BLATANT liberal bias in reporting politics."
Rubbish, its simply that politics have drifted so far to the right that the BBC is left like a beached whale trying to represent a middle that has ostensibly vanished. I get the feeling that things are drifting to the left again though, perhaps the internet is managing to show up right wing propaganda sources like Fox News for the moronic garbage that they are.
@2legs2armsetc Its the complete opposite actually. When blogging first took off it was DOMINATED by libertarians sick and tired of their views never ever being represented in the media. (ESPECIALLY the british media) and I love the way you cling to republican Fox News and ignore the democrat biased CNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, PBR etc etc you only recognise bias when it suits you. PS if you think politics has drifted to the right you must be in a coma.
Neo libertarian politics have been practised since 1980 when Reagan introduced free market liberalisation. Obviously he wasnt able to drop all regulations overnight but he started a process to which sadly all politicians have adhered since then. Neoliberalism has nothing to do with the freedom of the individual and everything to do with freeing up regulations for corporations and finance. Socialism for the rich and austerity for the poor is the logical result. Libertarianism is barbarism.
@2legs2armsetc Ronald Reagan was not a libertarian. If he was he would have brought home americas troops from abroad, dismantled the military industrial complex, legalized drugs, abolished censorship, abolished the federal reserve, abolished the income tax, reduced the size of government etc. PS Corporations DO NOT support libertarianism. Ron Pauls campaign is financed almost entirely by small individual donations. Obama is bankrolled by Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, UBS, Citigroup etc.
Reagans battle cry was "to get government off your back". The first advocate of small government, of privatisation, who in reality began the fire sale of state assets that so many nations have followed opening the door for the citizens to be defrauded by a free market that it was claimed would be so much more efficient and so much more affordable. This hasnt been the case. People are now easy prey for private monopolies/cartels who serve only the bottom line by all means neccessary.
On the dismantling of the military industrial complex, legalisation of drugs, the FED, income tax etc i'm with you. However essential services will remain in the hands of monopolies that will hold people to ransom if you totally deregulate. If you have no welfare, no universal healthcare you are returning to barbarism. A certain level of socialism is essential to keep a functioning infrastructure in place. PS the tea party is bankrolled by people that would love complete deregulation.
@2legs2armsetc I don't believe that we need the state to dominate these things. When left to themselves communities organize. Its the reliance on the state to take care of all of their business which prevents individuals and communities from realizing their potential. Instead of the state forcefully taking your money and spending it on your behalf on schools, healthcare etc - let people spend their own money and make their own choices.
The idea of a proper democratic state is that it is the community, thats why people vote. Its then a question of how large you draw the boundaries. We no longer have a functioning democracy though, we have a kleptocracy mixed with a corporatocracy (if that word exists).
@2legs2armsetc What if people don't want to be part of your state? If they aren't violating the person or property of others why can't they be left alone?
There are some courageous people that choose to live in the wilderness. They live in varying conditions and dont use the infrastructure that the state has put in place, running water, roads, electricity, police, fire service etc etc. They are the exception. Most libertarians wish to use the benefits the state has provided without paying, as they take them as a given. If you are poor then fair enough, but if you are wealthy, or running a succesfull company then that is pure greed.
@2legs2armsetc Libertarianism has nothing to do with living in isolation. On the contrary. Freedom of association and self interest lead people to cooperate together in mutually beneficial contracts and relationships. All of the services you listed would be created by a free marketplace. Also the state provides nothing. Government spending comes out of your pocket either in taxation or inflation. I suggest you read man, economy and state by murray rothbard (available free on mises dot org)
As i said in a previous comment, essential services will eventually end up in the hands of monopolies that will hold people to ransom if you totally deregulate, its simple opportunism, darwinism if you like. Your ideas are utopian, but the motor behind the spreading and popularisation of such ideas are the super rich looking for ways to escape paying taxes. The think tanks that promote the ideas of Mises and the like have strong ties to the right wing politics of the last 30 years.
@2legs2armsetc On the contrary. The super rich support statist / globalist candidates like Obama. Who are Obamas biggest donors? Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, UBS. Who are Ron Pauls biggest donors? Serving US military personnel. The super rich like to get into bed with big government. The more regulations and barriers to entry in a market the better for them. They despise free markets and competition. This is also reflected in the corporate medias bias against ron paul.
Obamas biggest donors donate to buy favours. If Ron Paul was elected they would be beating a path to his door, its just currently he isnt a viable candidate, as i stated before we dont have a democracy rather a corporatocracy. Ron Paul comes from similar territory as Reagan, John Birch society right wing conservatives. Certain things that Paul proposes sound reasonable but at heart he's a social darwinist which is a crazy position to take in a modern technology based society.
If you think Obama is to the left of Carter you are totally nuts. Obama seems bound to a dynamic set in place 30 years ago which has snowballed and is now out of control but doesnt have the courage, foresight or ability to take effective steps.
Years ago the Right were conservative, and resisted change. Since 1980 they have pursued change in a strategy that is delivering assets and wealth to oligarchs in a deluded belief in trickle down economics. Socialism for the rich is the result.
@2legs2armsetc Please tell me how many times Ron Paul and the libertarian movement has been mentioned in the BBCs extensive coverage of american politics in the last 4 years.
@sergeantfan3 Let see now almost 3 years after this vid... Obama has managed to just about kill off the US, illegally bombed Lybia, still fighting in Iraq, the economy has tanked, the Euro is in the shits, the jobless rate is growing, major instability in the Middle East, Israel on the brink of war, Greece on the verge of collapse. Yes we are doing very well under Obamantion . At this rate we will have nuclear war by 2012
@minimacca999 Wow I converted one!!!! You are right Obama does not walk on water... I guess the only point we disagree on is the Euro... Obama is as beneficial to the US economy as Greece is to the Euro..
@sergeantfan3 "Wow....John Bolton is an absolute fucking idiot" never give these people the excuse of stupidity , the mans a cunt . and a dangerous one at that .
Bolton is narrow minded , obnoxious,selfprofessed ,zionist , whom doesn't even understand consequence his speech, he doesn't think before opening his mouth.
@brochan11 Someone who is telling the truth is not an extremist. An extremist is someone who is out to kill allot of people innocent people just to prove a point. If you think that telling the truth and being honest is being an extremist then there is something realy wrong with you.
John Bolton is right, the BBC is the most biased channel in the UK and what annoys me is that the people of Britain are paying for them (TV licence fee)
America believes that the whole world revolves around them. They expect everyone else to conform and agree with them at all times. If they dont they get mad and pout. Then they start the petty torments to punish the people or Country who, God forbid, does not bow to their will. They will tie the border up or fuck around with trade agreements. After the failure in Iraq they have lost some of their clout. Now of course nobody cares what they say or think. Their world supremacy is over.
@LCenterR Congratulations am glad somebody came out and said that well done that person!!! Who the hell is he to tell a British Company to "fire" a reporter! I have lost count of the number of times American reporters over here have "lamped" our politicians over here!
This John Bolton Guy is one of the most disgusting politicians in US. This dumbass supports Terrorist Groups like MEK which worked together with Saddam Hussein to fight against Iran (and which are BTW on terror list of State.gov) , he gets paid to talk for them. He would sell the entire State of US for a dollar to Israel if he could.
oh diddums!, John Bolton should have stuck his dummy back in!, BBC interviewers do play devils advocate by sticking awkward 'aggressive' questions to there guests as viewers expect of them, its a tactic of them holding the elected to account on all our behalf. John ought to be thankful it wasn't the BBC's Jeremy Paxman or John Humphreys reporting, were this style of interviewing is just the everyday norm with British politicians in there clutches!!
@meinpremkidiwani the joke of the century talk of the pot calling the kettle dirty Nothing embarrising about the BBC mr Bolton but u r an enbarrassment to your country
Basically Obama has chosen to make good and yet he is worse than the Bush Dynasty! Yanks out there if your reading this don't pick the Christopher Hitchens favourites pick his foes that way the rest of us will be better off!!!
hahaha :o) oh man....just had to pick myself up from falling off the chair cauz I was laughing so hard. If Bolton calls this arguing, FOX needs to be shut down right away LOL!!
Bolton is fucking scum. Kill him. Kill him now. A useless leech on American working people. KILL HIM NOOOOOOOOOOW! A FUCKING WORTHLESS LEECH! A bullet in his fucking useless motherfucking empty skull.
I find it extraordinary to hear an American complain about biased media! Especially the suggestion the BBC is biased.
We have offcom here bolton, our broadcasters are LEGALLY required to be impartial for fear of prosecution and loss of career.
In the U.S you have no such regulation, so rather than the BBC 80% of your news watching population watch fox news and are lied too, told what to think, misinformed and more often than not, not informed AT ALL.
@srspower Total bollox. I am from England & all TV stations here are as bad as American ones, including the government owned BBC. OFFCOM are also a government owned quango working to the behest of their paymasters. Max Keiser is the king of journalism, he tells it as it is.
No it isn't mate, i live in Worcester City so i am UK too. UK broadcasters are no where near as bad as US ones. And i'll give you an example.
Are you familiar with James Whale? He was a popular DJ on talk radio UK and told the UK London population to vote for Boris Johnson for mayor. He lost his job and career and talk sport were fined £20K.
Look at Murdoch owned sky news and compare it to Murdoch owned fox news in the US and tell me you don't see a massive difference.
It wouldn't, because of ofcom. Fox news literally tells lies ie:-
The Bush administration held an inquiry in to whether there was a link between Saddam Hussein and al qaeda. They publicly declared there was no link. Fox news reported the same inquiry found that there WAS a link.
If Sky news or any other news broadcaster said that here they would lose their license entirely. Our newspapers however are the same as US TV, NO regulation.
@ALBIONTYKE Firstly it wouldn't have been as bad as Fox. Secondly surely the very fact that he didn't get his way is the point. The government didn't want to give one man so much control, to prevent things like personal bias. (Admittedly the tory government did want to, but then they'd fucking love to have fox news over here)
@minimacca999 Labour, Tory or Lib Dems it makes no difference. They are all working for the same paymasters to milk their own worthless careers, thats the only way they can climb the ranks. The truth is Murdoch was part of the same evil cartel & has more than upset a few of them by going it alone with his own ideas. Try raising the issue of say the Rothschild's power & control & weather it be the British mainstream media or the House of Commons & zilch.
WTF is Bolton talking about? The reporter asked him questions, just because you dont like it doesnt take away from the fact that they were questions. Also, 1968-2008 Presidental Election for Colorado were Republicans 9 times and Democrats 2 times. So the reporter was the one thats correct. The entire interview and election they were talking about was the Presidential Election so why he trys to deflect that fact by talking about senate/house elections, is another sad ass Republican Tactic
British journalist tend to be a lot harsher & direct than American ones & always have been. It's a culture thing, the same when many Americans are interviewed on British TV chats shows they soon get their backs up ( literally) particularly American woman.
I think also too many Americans have this Hollywood portrayed image of Brits being stuffy polite gentlemen, they dont talk as loud but on average they are far more aggressive than the average citizens over the pond, including the humour.
@ALBIONTYKE The BBC certainly hires people who are to the point and ask the questions that the public wants to hear answered, but I don't think they are especially impolite or aggressive. Even the most direct interviewers such as Stephen Sackur, David Dimbleby and Jeremy Paxman look fairly tame next to certain Fox commentators like Bill O'Reilly or John Gibson.
@StraitKnopfler From what I have seen of Fox commentators, they shout a lot louder, but really overall less aggressive. Having said that I cant personally stand Dimbelby, he's a typical British Bullshit Corporation android.
@ALBIONTYKE Less aggressive? Don't be ridiculous. I don't understand why people have a pop at David Dimbleby, it's he's part of a BBC dynasty, but he's had also a distinguished career as a serious TV journalist, easily the equivalent or better than any of the 60 minutes journalists in the US. To say 'Android' is foolish indeed, it isn't the BBC that has private corporate bosses dictating the news line. The news androids are a distinctly U.S. phenomenon.
@nakedmambo The BBC is a corrupt tool telling us only what they want us to know. i.e. AGW & Banking, I personally know a guy who went to the show as a member of the audience, he was asked first what his question was before the show started. Notice on the show when people ask awkward questions, ( usually not the ones they submitted) Dimbleby every time goes direct to another member of the audience and completely ignores the original question asked. That's not journalism! Dimbleby is a stooge.
@ALBIONTYKE That's not how it works. The questions that most attendees submit are gathered together so that most people in the audience feel their question has been asked, and one of them gets to ask it. There's no doubt that the BBC self-censors, for various reasons, and Dimbleby has to stick to the questions under debate; it's not true to say he doesn't pursue awkward questions because he does.
@ALBIONTYKE they get asked what their question is so that it can be placed at the correct time in the programme, when that issue is being discussed and to check that it isn't completely off-topic . And about Dimbleby ignoring questions - you're talking bullshit! That's the format of the programme! He always takes three questions at a time from the audience and then they are each discussed in turn.
@duggs95 You actually believe that? Talk about brainwashing. The BBC is one of the most corrupt propagandists in the world.The amount of important issues that are no go areas for the BBC are laughable for any free thinking person that has the ability to see through the smoke screen. From the shit they tell you about the monarchy to why we are in Afghanistan & attacking Libya, never mind the corruptive links between politicians & the banking cartel.Go ahead & enjoy you dumb down BBC they love you
The Nuremberg principles, which arose from the prosecution of Nazi war criminals, define as an international crime the "planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances". Bolton appears to have "participated in a common plan" to prepare for the war (also defined by the principles as a crime) by inserting the false claim that Iraq was seeking to procure uranium from Niger into a state department factsheet.
i hate john bolton, hes a self interested liar. who the hell is he to say a reporter should be fired for doing his job, discusting. maybe you should be fired...murderer
Love it. How all the stupid progs and Leftards in the UK must regret Obamugabe's victory. In screwing BP he took billions of pounds from Brit pensioners and taxpayers.
@Regulus149 Except he didn't screw BP. BP screwed itself. And nobody on the left in the UK regrets Obama's election. Maybe we're disappointed with him but nobody on the left would have preferred a republican
You can tell Bolton is a major asshole just by looking at his face. The cock-end's moustache seals the deal. Fucking cunt.

Then again, the US still does that.

Bolton is a muppet. In America the interviewers kiss the politicians' arses. In Britain they actually ask difficult questions that expose the politicians for the corrupt lying cunts that they are.
John Bolton is a lying cunt. He has been exposed as a liar on numerous occasions by British journalists and it gets under his skin.

Neo libertarian politics have been practised since 1980 when Reagan introduced free market liberalisation. Obviously he wasnt able to drop all regulations overnight but he started a process to which sadly all politicians have adhered since then. Neoliberalism has nothing to do with the freedom of the individual and everything to do with freeing up regulations for corporations and finance. Socialism for the rich and austerity for the poor is the logical result. Libertarianism is barbarism.
2legs2armsetc 3 months ago
@2legs2armsetc Ronald Reagan was not a libertarian. If he was he would have brought home americas troops from abroad, dismantled the military industrial complex, legalized drugs, abolished censorship, abolished the federal reserve, abolished the income tax, reduced the size of government etc. PS Corporations DO NOT support libertarianism. Ron Pauls campaign is financed almost entirely by small individual donations. Obama is bankrolled by Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, UBS, Citigroup etc.

Reagans battle cry was "to get government off your back". The first advocate of small government, of privatisation, who in reality began the fire sale of state assets that so many nations have followed opening the door for the citizens to be defrauded by a free market that it was claimed would be so much more efficient and so much more affordable. This hasnt been the case. People are now easy prey for private monopolies/cartels who serve only the bottom line by all means neccessary.

On the dismantling of the military industrial complex, legalisation of drugs, the FED, income tax etc i'm with you. However essential services will remain in the hands of monopolies that will hold people to ransom if you totally deregulate. If you have no welfare, no universal healthcare you are returning to barbarism. A certain level of socialism is essential to keep a functioning infrastructure in place. PS the tea party is bankrolled by people that would love complete deregulation.

@2legs2armsetc I don't believe that we need the state to dominate these things. When left to themselves communities organize. Its the reliance on the state to take care of all of their business which prevents individuals and communities from realizing their potential. Instead of the state forcefully taking your money and spending it on your behalf on schools, healthcare etc - let people spend their own money and make their own choices.

@2legs2armsetc Libertarianism has nothing to do with living in isolation. On the contrary.

British journalist tend to be a lot harsher & direct than American ones & always have been. It's a culture thing, the same when many Americans are interviewed on British TV chats shows they soon get their backs up ( literally) particularly American woman.

@ALBIONTYKE The BBC certainly hires people who are to the point and ask the questions that the public wants to hear answered, but I don't think they are especially impolite or aggressive. Even the most direct interviewers such as Stephen Sackur, David Dimbleby and Jeremy Paxman look fairly tame next to certain Fox commentators like Bill O'Reilly or John Gibson.

@nakedmambo The BBC is a corrupt tool telling us only what they want us to know. i.e. AGW & Banking, I personally know a guy who went to the show as a member of the audience, he was asked first what his question was before the show started. Notice on the show when people ask awkward questions, ( usually not the ones they submitted) Dimbleby every time goes direct to another member of the audience and completely ignores the original question asked. That's not journalism! Dimbleby is a stooge.

@ALBIONTYKE That's not how it works. The questions that most attendees submit are gathered together so that most people in the audience feel their question has been asked, and one of them gets to ask it. There's no doubt that the BBC self-censors, for various reasons, and Dimbleby has to stick to the questions under debate; it's not true to say he doesn't pursue awkward questions because he does.

@ALBIONTYKE they get asked what their question is so that it can be placed at the correct time in the programme, when that issue is being discussed and to check that it isn't completely off-topic .

He always takes three questions at a time from the audience and then they are each discussed in turn.

@Regulus149 Except he didn't screw BP. BP screwed itself. And nobody on the left in the UK regrets Obama's election. Maybe we're disappointed with him but nobody on the left would have preferred a republican
