Christopher Biggins interviewing Bilbo Baggins

Its true

He really cared for his soldiers. Rest in peace, General. Much love from Europe ❤

oh my gosh Fionna so good to see you flourishing ... and your work is ever vibrant...Your American friend who you met in Sri Lanka...and visited you in Edinburg 1984... Cheers!

A fascinating talk and great primer for those who want to learn more about how Pakistan got to where it is. It’s sad to see how since this panel the ‘equilibrium’ has shifted further into chaos and misery. I very much appreciate Dalrymple and his jovial demeanor. And I have no doubt he genuinely feels for the colonial crimes of the past. But I do wish he dwelt on it a second longer when the charge was directly put instead of immediately laughing it off. I’m British and it’s a shame how there is so little grappling with our past and current actions (hiding the wealth in London) since partition.

Sirs & Madam,there is no point in caning a dead snake. It has been more than 75 years and this blame game is still going on to no avail except more bickering and increasing animosity. Let the old people and their Gyan take rest so that new generation can come out of these rusted shackles.

Thanks for this interview! Wonderful paintings and Carole Gibbons a lovely human being.

I'm treated as a throwaway person because I have cancer and my entire family is dead except my mother.since I live on a tiny disability check,I have been discharged from the hospital several times to,"go home and die" at 3am.apparently they think I'm worthless, well,the great,"they" has another thing coming because I'm going to outlive anyone who's abused me. I'm a multi racial human being and won't tolerate this anymore.

Dont forget British gave Syphilis chicken pox, slave trade, asset looting license raj and most of all partition and its after effects. India wishes them the same

East India Company established under Elizabeth 1. She did not do much at all to monitor the company she approved. Shows the incompetence of the monarch to manage her own kingdom. There is nothing worth saying about EIC except the word evil. However they cheated their own govt too. Only problem was the govt was incompetent in all aspects so they got away with their evil.

How about yall stay in your own borders. Do the world a favor!

What a beautiful conversation. I wish I had seen it earlier.

As an American I Think That Sunak will lose the next Election to Sir Kier .

To make short war was an innate self reservation trait built into the human genome. When it first started, well from the beginning when according to the Bible! Abel kneed his brother Cain. ❤

In this stupid, fake and sham discussion, there is not a single Sikh even though the partition of Punjab affected Sikhs the most. Actually the real reason for the revival of partition debate has happened only post the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. A dysfunctional and directionless Pakistan doesn't serve the purpose of the West anymore, as it did during the Soviet era. In fact that is why Pakistan was created at the first place, i.e. to act as a lever against a Soviet-inclined Nehruvian India.

India and Hindu are one and the same thing. Waste of time trying to dissect things inside your head Trying to disentangle the "India" from the "Hindu" is vain idiocy.

oh quite.....yes

Like my comment if you can see it...Drogheda crew!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoyable. And the gesture of the interviewer towards the beginning of the event when she flicks out her tongue for a quick lick of the index finger of her left hand is startling in a completely horrible sort way.

Great book, great subject, great biographer!

You have the watch we have the time for degradation and total poverty absolutely allah.will give money

Love listening to Razia on the BBC via WNYC.

THIS NIGGAS NAME IS PURVIS AND IS RHE LORD OF MF TWEED 💀💀💀

Spare us the psychobabble, Marxist slant, social leftism and environmentalism projected back into history. How to kill the purity of folk culture !

Spare us the psychobabble!

Bettany Hughes is painfully gorgeous the curves on her

Very interesting talk Steve

great lecture, but somewhat reduced by not seeing the graphics. would have been nice to appreciate the complete thing

Steve, Rock and Roll Politics, is tremendous, along with all the Prime Minister's We Never Had, Leadership Reflections and Turning Points I've seen, very informative

Ilike your work guy.keep going

This has been an eye-opening interview for me, personally. Thank you William and Dr. Tharoor.

Cabinet Mission Plan was first accepted and then rejected by Gandhi. What has happened in between? The people of Assam refused to be in the same group with the Bengalis. Gopinath Bordoloi made a lot of requests to Gandhi to reject the Grouping Plan. Nehru only expressed what Gandhi decided. Thus, Cabinet Mission Plan was destroyed. Jinnah declared Direct Action Day and the riot in Calcutta destroyed the unity of India. Thus, Gopinath Bordoloi and the Assamese politicians of that time destroyed the Cabinet Mission Plan because of their racism against the Bengalis.

Three Muslims, one British and one suspected Muslim pretending to be a Hindu. Great impartial discussion.

Partition without exchange of population is meaningless.

Sugata Bose, his parents, and sister are all traitors. He wrote some books about India in collaboration with Ayesha Jalal, which are Pakistani version of Indian history. His parents supported Nehru's theory that Netaji was killed in the air crash in Taiwan but Justice Mukherjee Commision proved beyond doubt that there was no air crash. His sister wrote a book supporting Pakistani action on East Pakistan in 1971. This part of Netaji's family is disgusting.

The scumbag captain who tortured innocent people in the north of Ireland, the hooded men as they became known, this horrible little animal laughing about it, loving to see him get tortured and battered with bats even while he was old . They did the very same in Iraq while supposedly being banned. All British army are fucking scum.

Hubba hubba!

Shashi tharoor has lost credibility when he supported Rahul gandhi, simple example of bootlicking

What an absolutely spectacular lecture. Thank you so much for recording and sharing this.

‘I don’t think about Eardley as a painter’…….wow, how arrogant! Fine, you don’t have to like her work, but to say that she wasn’t a painter……really?

This is a turning point for Britain it won't be called the United Kingdom anymore as Scotland will soon be Independent, N Ireland will soon join Ireland so Wales and England will have to be called rUK (rest of the UK) or little Britain.

Dr. Tharoo is Dr. Manmohan Singh plus baijpai

How wrong on Modi's chances

Let's get one thing straight. Partition narrative is a childish lie. India was never a country, nor a nation, before 1947, it was always just a region. Punjab and Bengal were partitioned, not India.

Well described William, good to hear an empathic Britisher

Amazing talk by two equally marvelous Authors! PS- Shahi Tharoor has *Majnu Bhai* wale glasses.
