@@Joe-vb4pg, in the 70's (he'd be in his twenties) he said he almost voted for British entry into the then EC, but instead voted against after an article he wrote with some doubts about it was quashed, causing alarm. Over the years, he became increasingly hostile to the EU (rightly so, I agree with him), but wanted England (or Britain) to leave not via plebiscite, but by an elected parliament on a manifesto. So no, he didn't take any part in the referendum, even though he wanted out of the EU, because it wasn't the way it should have been done. And he was right. We've left in name only.

Why would they bring Peter on just to ignore and mock him. They don't dive into any of his points which are incredibly well analysed and thought out because of a ridiculous tv format which I have never understood where people are cut off before saying anything insighful because of made up time constraints.

"He [Hitchens] debates whether or not Britain has lost its greatness with historian Dan Snow." Debate my ass. Piers and the other fellers were just talking over Hitchens and bringing up irrelevant things. Hitchens was spot on in this.

@JamesSmith-hm5sp 7 ай бұрын

I think this interview shows the inability of the British establishment to recognise its own failures. While Peter is perhaps too negative in his assessment of modern Britain, the inability of the GMB people and Dan to even conceive of Britain in a state of decline is quite breath taking.

@JamesSmith-hm5sp 7 ай бұрын

Perhaps Peter should of mentioned the potentials Britain could of had if it had the money and prestige after WW2. For example, - an independent space program - a healthy car industry similar to France or Germany - Not joining the EU - an independent nuclear weapons program with ICMBs and advanced nuclear bombers - a far stronger navy with global influence - high speed electric rail - nuclear power capabilities similar to France - a huge array of strategic military bases in Singapore, Malta, West Africa etc, - independent foreign policy without the consent of Washington. I could go on...

Are people aware of the real origin of the name "Great Britain" ? It has NOTHING to do with being great - it is a geographical term !! It is called Great Britain as in Big Britain, as opposed to Brittany in France, which is smaller

Yes, it's a geographical term. Well done, professor. 👏🏻 Now, what's your point?

@kbur9292 Жыл бұрын

@@SagaciousFrank The logic of it, FatuousFrank, is that the argument about whether Britain is "great" or not is simply nonsense, because it is comparatively larger than Brittany and a loss of religion, culture or global power does not reduce its landmass.
