Lord Hesketh joins Nigel Farage on Talking Pints to reflect on his life and Formula 1

[@hogyndrwg6253]

What a fascinating man! He merits so much more time than the short Talking Pints slot provides. Nigel, how about an in-depth interview with Lord Hesketh?

[@leviercosmicwind]

Delighted that Lord Hesketh is still going strong! What an amazing interview.

James Hunt doing the salute in Germany hilarious😂 ahh the good old days.🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@awalk5177]

Yes, and can you imagine now, with this crazy cancel culture ? They are trying to knock out the character and humour from UK in favour of a bland , tasteless society. Actually not only from UK, but worldwide the Media are not doing their job, but are just taking the lazy , critical way of cut and paste and attempting to eliminate individuality. Hesketh and James Hunt were a breath of fresh air on Formula one. F1 needs resuscitating again before it expires.

Talking Pints should be an hour long

[@drstrangelove4998]

Brilliant Nigel! God bless you both and RIP Hunt the Shunt, true Brits all… ✌🏻

[@LeoSavantt]

Nice to see people who obviously genuinely like each other chatting. Both are political figures of significant impact, both have had varied and interesting lives, so different to the PPE graduates who were only ever in politics, first as advisors and then MPs, most of whom neither come across as likeable, nor that they really like any of their colleagues. Hilarious that Lord Hesketh pointed out how important Nick Clegg was in the referendum campaign, a beautiful irony.

[@paulreeves7900]

What an uplifting interview, thanks boys👍

[@ThePierre58]

" Cromwellian nonsense " That phrase jumped out right out. Brilliant interview.

[@johnmoncrieff3034]

Nigel you have to make this segment much much longer so that your guests can open up more as they have all been fascinating to listen to, but have not had the time to make a truly great impression!! Every individual you have interviewed has had stories to tell that could easily take up two to three times the time you are allocated, and they have been willing to expand on them!

[@DannoAviation]

Farage, please run again. This country is dead without a true patriot such as yourself.

[@supersonicsid5930]

What’s the point people don’t vote for him , they have been brainwashed by the MSM , at any opportunity they have they call him the R word . He is the enemy of the globalists the open borders brigade the European Union free speech and anything else that makes perfect sense .

[@firstfreonwarrior]

James Hunt was a legend. Oh how F1 could do with a personality like him now, would never be allowed to happen of course.

[@johnallen7807]

Bit of a contrast to our current British(??) champion who doesn't even live in the UK for tax reasons.

[@carlseager6340]

The only people taking a knee then would be the girls in front of James hunt 😂

[@simonhill2820]

@@johnallen7807 James hunt did move to Spain for tax reasons, it was huge amount of tax on income if he stayed in uk in the 70s. I think it made him depressed and lonely.

@@simonhill2820 True but it was a Labour government, however we now have a Tory one setting the highest tax rates since 1945! Not what I voted for!

@@johnallen7807 I can't argue with you , I have sympathy for all the voters who voted con for what they thought would be a tory gov. Instead they got a load of unelectable green woke nonsense. I think we might see an end to the mainstream parties in my lifetime.

great chat. "Cromwellian nonsense" sums our time up perfectly, no fun kill joys.

[@robyndalby-stockwell9242]

So good, what a great chap, and I am impressed he joined Nigel in the fight for our country.

[@eddieingalls534]

James Hunt and Barry Sheene typified the 70s male. Long hair, (very) slim and borderline nuts.

[@yetiwheeler7972]

You're Not wrong .

[@Alexe829]

V interesting ...I'm non UK resident but this conversation I think should be extended. I'm surprised not more ppl listening. Bit of reading between the lines needed here. Two good men IMO.

I agree with the poster who wrote "we need you" , but its OK you probably have a good life and dont want the crap of politics 🙂

A glorious era in racing, albeit dangerous, so exciting for the fans, great to hear from Lord Hesketh's.

What a truly amazing interview and insight in to early F1 James Hunt a what a legend

[@davidfoster1762]

I didn’t recognise him , what a difference from his F1 days.

Am utter legend and still alive after all that partying in the 70s he must have Keith Richard’s genes and stamina

People forget Thatcherism took a while to bed in. I was in America in 83 and returned as things looked so good. She worked a miracle

[@GrumpyAustralian]

In Pietermaritzburg, South Africa race track is named Hesketh Race Track. I don't know if it still exists. Mike Hailwood raced at the track.

[@davidnoble1058]

Anyone remember the Hesketh motor bike?

[@budbud2509]

Yeah V Twin , V1,000 think it was, I saw a road test of one last year on the TV

[@jameswebb4593]

The major difference between today's racing drivers and those in the past is Charisma , regardless of how many GP's Hamilton wins he and his rivals will never be as highly regarded by the general public as . Moss .Hawthorn , Clark , Hill and Hunt.

this should be 1 hour 😂

Thanks for the V1000. Shame you stopped too soon. (Despite all odds?- thank God someone did...Perhaps again? )

[@turboslag]

Wow, talk about looking different!! If I hadn't known who it was I would never have recognised him! I also didn't know about his political career, most notably working for the Thatch! However, I know Nigel had limited time here but not to have mentioned Hesketh motorcycles was a hell of an omission and very disappointing!
