I could listen to him forever. He is fascinating.

[@michaelhickland4450]

I'm very proud of him what a story

[@karloldham6401]

Robert speaks so...concisely .....and eloquently ...it’s like he thinks about the words 10 seconds before he says them ...amazing

[@tourzrap]

Shhhhhh…he’s talking 🤫

[@EMPADA1]

it's so wonderful to hear about what an articulate, thoughtful man Judge Rinder is, with such a deep background. Something you just may not realise watching his TV show.

[@ramkeransusanann796]

It makes so much sense now,his background is in theatre. I love how articulate judge Rinder carries himself.

[@GiftSparks]

I just love watching his show.

[@daynasafranek7807]

He is a very charming, witty, funny, intelligent and hearing his story was fascinating. His respect and kindness for others as well as having the ability to be no nonsense when needed is (in my opinion) not necessarily a bad thing to have. His experience is impressive and he carries himself as a respectable and honest Barrister. I like the fact that he discussed how much he has learned throughout his career and that he does give a voice to victims. The broad subjects that he broaches are very important not only for UK citizens, but the world in general and it would be wonderful to be able to sit and have a conversation with him to learn more about what he has to say as a person. I’m going to have to look for that episode of “Who Do You Think You Are?” as it is an interesting show. I loved the way that he pointed out the dilemma of complex legal issues and how difficult they are and the importance of legal aid.

[@guillermosahuquillo4499]

The man’s brilliant

[@angelacoker9435]

I just found the judge , just a few days ago and i love him so much

[@hayleymarley8427]

The way he speaks really draws me in. I could listen to him forever. He expresses himself in such a genuine manner with intelligent and at times humour. I find everything about him fascinating and I find him extremely handsome. His Mum did an amazing job raising him, she really did, and she's lovely too. I've seen her on some TV shows with Robert and their bond is so beautiful. Mother and Son at its best. I would love to meet Robert. Of all the people in the world, I'd choose to meet him because he's so much of what I crave for company. Thank you Judge Robert Rinder for all your kindness and understanding when dealing with many cases that needed help to rectify. Also thank you for the laughs, even on my darkest days, whenever I am down, I watch Judge Rinder shows and also the show where he was awoken early in the morning. I'm smiling now just thinking about it. :)

I adore judge Rinder. He has many gifts! I wish he had another KZbin channel where you could comment directly to him. I Love his court show, I think he’s a great guy! Has a bit of mystery to him.

As an American I wish we could trade Judge Judy for Judge Rinder. I know that who she is as a judge doesn’t directly determine who she is as a person, but I think judge Rinder does a phenomenal job of representing the importance of fairness and understanding of not only law but also understanding of his rulings and the way he explains which pieces of information influence and determine his rulings.

[@jarrettnelson4035]

I believe he needs to come to America when judge Judy ends her show because he has got the no nonsense attitude with a sense of humour only judge Judy also has

[@nunyabiz6925]

[@vickil6325]

I wished we had more like Judge Rinder in the U.S. It would make things so much easier to deal with problems between people. You can sense in his courtroom, the tenses between the 2 parties goes away. People in the courtroom are free to laugh out loud. The lady hosting this show is not wearing an appropriate skirt outfit. It's way too short. This is about Judge Rinder, NOT her all show legs. I've seen this way too much on TV, youtube and whatnot, that people can't dress right when confronting other people. I wished someone in charge could see how she was dressed and tell her to go change your clothes. A longer skirt covering her buckle knees or better yet, wear pants.

[@jasmineblack9778]

i like him

[@J1mston]

About half way through where he's talking about Brexitiers then transitions to the Holocaust and and he throws out some vague comparisons to modern day. I want to get at exactly what he's hinting at there but unfortunately it's lost in a bearly connected ramble. It's a shame the interviewer didn't do her job and actually interviewed him because he is great and I wanted him to expand on some of this stuff.

[@dubbaddare]

I thought his background was Latvian not Russian?

[@teamridgeback]

I’m all aflutter. What a totally attractive man. I haven’t the slightest idea how to communicate with those I like either.

[@TOMASjBARTON]

So interesting :)

[@phillipsofthedriver]

Me, as a somewhat successful IT dude, a high school dropout, working odd jobs, a stint in the military, then faking it till I made it in IT (1989-to now), him talking about college debt in England, really resonates. I'm in the US where student debt is out of control. We oldsters need to work on this. In every country on Earth. We need college trained people of every type, the scientists, the statisticians, the public health epidemiologists, doctors who don't graduate last in their class and earn the title medical doctor, etc. Those who are capable to do those things, even archeology, should not be saddled with decades of debt. (vast screed of capitalist crap papered over here). These are students, struggling to learn something, figuring out where their life direction is going. Debt should not be their primary consideration. (some edits may not make much sense, but then, consider I'm not only an American, but also I'm Californian in the SF Bay Area.) BTW: I know my stuff about IT. It's been how many years since '89? IPV6 will still gives me headaches because reasons, but because of my experience with IPX, it's easier to understand. Hexadecimal is a thing, bitches!

[@horncow4160]

He should make ASMR. I can tell he has the voice for it.

[@FacelessJanus]

About 26 minutes in, and Mr. Rinder should love that one, reminded me of an episode of The Thin Blue Line. If talking about homophobia at least. (No worries, I am not. Just due to context, I thought of that.) The complacency of democracy. Nice one. Now if using such terms, please tell me how it seems impossible to resolve governmental racism ?? (Standardizing for example, "disabled therefore you can not work, and will only be on benefits. That imho is racism based on certain abilities or lack thereof, but overlooking other abilities a person has. If agism is racism, than goverment standard racism needs to be addressed.)

[@rominahorn427]

I compare him to Judge Judy from the USA. BRILLIANT 👍🇬🇧

[@edgeof1956]

Fun Fact: Judge Rinder is left-handed.
