  1. 38:38 The greatest moment in the history of The Rest is Politics podcast, Rory F-Bomb! 😆

  2. The Neo-Con era like Vietnam was a US foreign policy mistake, and as Rory pointed out the US/UK relationship would've survived.

  3.  @paullambert8183  You need to clean your ears.

  4. I'd call him something else.

  5.  @aituk  Well I'm not too pleased about the suffering inflicted on innocent people especially the young who had no say in the matter. Initially I thought it would be a disaster, a blow to the EU and another victory for populist fascism, but with the fall of Trump and Johnson and Putin's nefarious plans now out in the open that threat has receded somewhat, the EU seems to have been reinvigourated and it's the UK that has been shown to be a hollow moribund union, soon Scotland will be independent and Ireland reunited and England forced to face it's inner demons of a horribly unfair and undemocratic system, so every cloud has a silver lining.

  6. That's because the faults of the Tories are so numerous and serious and how Rory voted is on record.

  7. And he completely omitted John Paul 1 whose brief reign and death remains mysterious.

  8. After his latest post about Jess Philips, the UK government should put out an arrest warrant for him on Interpol.

  9. Oh well never mind, every country gets the government it deserves.

  10. You should read Franklin Foer's How soccer explains the world.

  11.  @mattd8725  You don't have to read anything, but Socrates (the Greek not the footballer) said unexamined life is not worth living.

  12.  @mattd8725  So that's why he hid in a barrel?

  13. Oh come on, if it was Andrew ascending the throne you should at least give him a challenge.

  14.  @farhadchaudhry  Rory actually played a blinder.

  15. The "ban on Social Media" for under 16's in Australia is just a political sop, there is no punishment for either parents or internet providers.

  16. The Israelis have dined out for free on the holocaust for long enough.

  17. Close, by the White House.

  19. You make it sound like a bad thing. 🤨

  20. ​ @redrev674  Well they're both ex politicians so they'll be snobbish and hypocritical, we all know the chaos that the war in Iraq unleashed and Campbells role in it and if you think Stewart is soft and cuddly check his parliamentary voting record with the Tories lol.

  21. The same public that voted leave and voted the Tories in the last four times?

  22.  @shelleyscloud3651  Someone who votes for lying corrupt criminals is not a victim, they're an accomplice and you can't attribute those that didn't vote as either for or against, they simply don't exist so they don't count.

  23.  @shelleyscloud3651  There's nothing to understand, we know the type of people the main brexit pushers are and we know the type of people who read the Mail and the Sun and voted for them, they freely choose these "newspapers" and representative democracy rests upon the assumption that human adults are reasonable creatures capable of making their own decisions and so must take responsibility for their mistakes, you by taking that responsibility away from them and treating them as poor misled children are been patronising.

  24.  @aituk  Johnson isn't a fascist he's just a useful idiot to them. And I can tell you that CANZUK is just another brexiter delusion as the UK is irrelevant in Australia, the recent passing of the queen went almost unnoticed.

  25.  @131alexa  I actually was lol.

  26. Alastair was really caught out by Rory parroting the Jewish/American lie about Iran being bent on world domination. 😯

  27. But the idea of the ethos of Chivalry and the word to call them servant or Cniht came from the Church as a means of regulating and binding to a "mission" groups of lawless unemployed mounted men at arms who marauded and committed atrocities in times of peace against the defenseless population and even church property itself, so like the origin of the word Tory (Toraigh) or robber there is much meaning behind these concepts that endure to this day.

  28. The Cold War is over? Isn't there something going on in Ukraine right now? And northern Ireland will only be over after reunification.
    1
  29. Alastair: Iran is a terrorist state bend on Middle Eastern domination. Rory: They spend less % in GDP on defence than the UK. 😐

  30. The Polish pope took the name John Paul 11 after his predecessor John Paul 1 whom both Rory and you completely ignored.

  31. Netanyahu has said that it doesn't matter if the hostages are released or not, the genocide will go on, relatives of the hostages have been attacked by Right Wing thugs for demonstrating.

  32. Rory really embarrassed him.

  33.  @kernowboy137  Proposed.

  34.  @rustyfeatherstone93  Block Musk's platform just like Brazil did, also block tik tok as it's basically Chinese spyware.

  35.  @rustyfeatherstone93  No, f you can read properly, it's to ban obvious toxic ummoderated anonymous and information collection platforms, and those who remain must be responsible for their content. Time to take back control and end this childish Wild West phase of social media.

  36. These present bunch of "Conservatives" (they're actually radical libertarians) are the worst corrupt and incompetent government in memory, they certainly deserve to be criticised.

  37. Bloody oath as we say in Australia. Or Ken Oat.

  38. So you don't accept that Saddam was a brutal dictator and war monger with an appalling human rights record who actually did use chemical weapons against the Kurds?

  39.  @ImperialGuardsman74  Your tone is trollish, and you're bringing up things that aren't relevant in an attempt to distract from my question.

  40.  @yingyang1008  Whataboutism.
    1
  41.  @yingyang1008  Yes yes yes but whatabout blah blah blah............ Still can no one give a valid reason why the world is not better without Saddam?

  42.  @fburton8  Of course I never denied the invasion was illegal and that hundreds of thousands died as a result (the indefensible), my point was that some good came of it as it got rid of the war criminal Saddam and his heinous regime (the defence), so there was some defence. I'm glad someone here is capable of basic reading and comprehension, I never expected to encounter such childish idiocy in the comment section of The rest is politics why would people be interested in a complex subject when they don't even understand simple English sentences?

  43. Israel is supposed to be a liberal democracy, it has lost all right to the moral high ground, it stands along with Russia as a terrorist state in my opinion.

  44.  @importantjohn  Poor attempt at straw man deflection. What has so called employment statistics got to do with the the point of discussion? IE the English are a terminally depressed miserable people, what has the fact that many are in jobs that are poorly paid unproductive and unfulfilling got to do with it? As stated in the video, many are choosing to be on a disability pension because work is so poorly paid.

  45. You know she's doing what Starmer wants don't you?

  46. I don't think that it was explained that in Greek mythology if you chopped off the Hydra snakes head, 7 more would grow in it's place.
