Ian and Conrad discuss Lord Black's innocence - Have I Got News for You - Series 44 - BBC

[@CaptainCalculus]

I love Ian. He's totally fearless.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Fearless whilst nice and safe in TV studio with a friendly audience on his side?

[@vonteflon]

Legend with onion bhajis made of steel

[@Wipeout325]

Alan Heath I mean he’s been sued for libel a few times.

[@marcokite]

Ian's totally 'holier than thou'

[@andrewroberts8139]

Fearless would have been to say, "Let's not have a convicted felon on our show"

[@lordvoldermortswand]

Hislop is the man, really stuck it to this crook

[@blipboop5594]

This guy wrote a book called "Donald J. Trump: A President Like No Other". He was granted a full pardon by Trump a month ago. Coincidence, of course.

[@itstherevolution]

Ian has remained consistently awesome and fearless since this show started!

[@goldfaust8613]

"fearless" in front of his own audience... my god you're stupid.

[@petergreen2552]

Don't you love the way he just won't accept that he did wrong,broke the law,got caught,etc?

[@MrFin487]

It's probably why the ragebaby of a US president pardoned him a couple months ago. Course he's a 'friend' as if psychopaths have friends. Even wrote a book last year "Donald J. Trump: A President Like No Other. by conrad black a suck up like no other

[@blueelectricsmoke]

It's a little unnerving to see so many people here trying to defend Black. Even his main attorney, easily one of the most high profile defense lawyers in Canada, said that Black basically persistently operated under a delusion. Just because the guy is a verbose student of history doesn't magically dispel his long career of believing the world owes him everything and more. And the Paxman interview made him look good mainly because Paxman tried to be as low as possible...

[@thegingerbreadman5149]

Heavily out of context here but it does look as fake accounts. Even with token typing errors for authenticity. Happens in my home country a lot. Wealthy and politicians with hoards of conjured-up people to defend them.

[@c.m.9369]

Ian is just great! It‘s one thing to be forcefully honest and straight forward in writing or when talking ABOUT people… It‘s another to be so forcefully honest and straight forward when talking DIRECTLY to people.

[@DeanMoxley87]

Watch the beginning of the full ep Alexander asks him weather he’s seen this show before & he says no

[@Eisenwulf666]

Sympathy points: seeing someone "attacked" on tv always makes him more endearing to the public. What he didn't consider was his natural repulsiveness and "guilty as sin " face. Also he was unaware of the format of the show.

[@willprichard6224]

"Stop reciting the verdict as though it was true" Ian Hislop. Very Funny Guy!

Man that Conrad guy gives me the creeps. He looks like a vulture. It's like he's never felt happiness before.

[@SlipKoRn4life]

I don't know much about the backstory to this guys, so I'll leave an opinion out of this... But I do have to say, "Lord Conrad Black of Crossharbour" is a freakin' awesome name.

[@rhysepoos]

Conrad Black was convicted for 3 counts of fraud and 1 count of obstruction of justice , but the Supreme Court found that the charges given to the jury was 'unconstitutionally vague', and ordered a review of his convictions. It did NOT find him innocent or dismiss the charges. The review of his convictions eventually overturned 2 of the 4 convictions, and he was resentenced to 42 months for one count of fraud and one count of obstruction of justice. Hence his pretence of being acquitted is completely ridiculous.

[@thehellyousay]

@@rhysepoos yes, but as long as he believes it, it's all cherry pie and butterscotch ice cream, yeah? The fact that Canada threw this hairball up is embarrassing, but at least he landed on the mother load, all puns intended

[@JDubzBeatz]

what does Conrad say when he says 'nine something'?

[@PeteTheFatDog]

Does Ian Hislop still hold the record for the person most sued for libel? As editor of "Private Eye" he never really did back down from the truth.

[@grahamkeithtodd]

yes he has but please do not forget the "CURSE OF GNOME",remember every one who has sued Private eye has either died under suspicious circumstances,gone to jail,had to leave the country in a big hurry or gone bankrupt...

[@WBDevittIII]

Ian Hislop, my mentor :o) "Lord" Conrad Black has now been stripped of His Order of Canada and seat on the Privy Council, Woot! Long Overdue!

[@TheSealOfTheRose]

William Devitt He is one of the few notable people your country has exported in recent times. You may be ashamed of him but I doubt very much the are many canadians that spring to mind more readily than him in the international community.

[@TheSealOfTheRose]

Antimatter31 Thats fine. If that is all you require I certainly won't judge. What you say is very all very well. If you are content to be a very large very rich but very primitive and under represented country. If you are content to be that way, who am I to tell you you are wrong.

[@TheSealOfTheRose]

Antimatter31 Compared to countries like the US, Britain, France, Germany or even Australia, which has a similar evolution and far less natural or material wealth, Canada is a primitive country.

[@TheSealOfTheRose]

Antimatter31 Thats not really the point. Everywhere is rural until it isn't. To be honest thought is has nothing to do with Conrad Black. So we have been somewhat diverted.

[@bwhitcomb2011]

I think Black has a great future in comedy. British comedy, of course.

[@BelatedCommiseration]

Personally I think Ian is hilarious and I'm glad we have people in fleet street like him who keep the satirical (and both actual and physical) 'Eye' on the political scene. Provided there members of the fourth estate like Ian we won't entirely descend into the tabloid hole we are generally known for in this country.

It's interesting to compare this clip with the episode... makes you realize how much editing there is. I wonder what the original footage was like - probably a lot was taken out even in what made the episode.

Connie Black learned one thing. Never go in and help with the boxes.

[@donquixotedelamancha58]

What a pompous jerk that host is. Thankfully Conrad Black got pardoned in the end

[@Formula1Madx]

@David Gonzalez Being 'pardoned' means he was guilty. You can't be pardoned for something you never did in the first place. It confirms Conrad's guilt.

[@donquixotedelamancha58]

@@Formula1Madx It depends on the reason for the pardon. Trump himself said that Black was pardoned because he was unfairly given a "bad rap."

Er, I'll think you'll find that the moon is actually a satellite orbiting the world, and therefore isn't 'elsewhere in the world'.

[@exbronco1980]

is black guilty of what he was convicted of? i have no idea. but just because you were never convicted, doesn't make you innocent. just because you were convicted, doesn't mean you're guilty. there are people who are innocent and get convicted anyway.

[@Lioncair]

Much as I respect Mr Hislop, he should have known better. After his experience with giving "a fat cheque to a fat czech" he should know that courts and verdicts have very little to do with justice.
