Talking pints with author Rupert Allason AKA Nigel West

[@elaineagar6128]

Another fantastic pints with Farage. I love listening to people with facts and common sense 👏

[@tommytaylor4139]

Rupert was my MP in Torquay back in the late 80's on a school trip to London we had a minibus of about twenty 14 to 15 year olds who met him,then the teachers let us loose in London for about 3 or 4 hours!!,how the hell we didn't get lost or come into harms way,God only knows,but 1989 was a long time ago, different era I suppose ,

[@desireecuzen3103]

Nigel, you are a breath of fresh air! What an absolute pleasure listening to and watching you! Thank you and keep up the brilliant work !

[@techtipsuk]

Nigel has a rare skill as an interviewer, he knows how to listen. So many I hear these days don’t and continually interrupt. What a fascinating man. It’s too short is talking pints, needs to be at least a 30 minute segment

[@m3cs253]

I agree, too short.

[@Finnarfin]

Absolutely fantastic and fascinating.

[@hugoc1861]

Amazing knowledge this person

[@ThePierre58]

Excellent episode. Off to buy Nigel West books.

[@HarveyPaul007]

Nice. Talking Pints need to be extended as it is not on for long enough.

[@veryhappychappy12]

Seconded👍.

Superb.

I LOVE Talking Pints with Nigel, bravo GB!

[@isabellabuckley7999]

FANTASTIC!!

[@fsengsec]

Fantastic format, a pleasure to watch and what a refreshing change for the guest to be allowed time to answer the question!

[@johnvanstone5336]

Straight talking Rupert Allison with no bullshit Nigel, great stuff🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤘🇬🇧

[@supersonicsid5930]

Thatcher was the best prime Minister this country has seen since Winston Churchill lead us to victory in 1945 .

[@joycemcleod8249]

Great interview.Very interesting?Thankyou

[@isaacsworld9269]

This was one of the best. He needs to come back. Some entirely credible information.

[@Ozymandias1]

They should have gone on for hours. That would have been very interesting television.

[@simonhellier7281]

Talking pints needs to be a longer show?

[@patsyporter1266]

Great guest!

[@veryhappychappy12]

Watched this last night. Some excellent insights from Rupert A. Keep it coming Sir Nigel👍.

[@geoffm9944]

Great interview! These programmes, ‘Talking Pints’ conducted by Nigel are really fascinating.

[@homolgus1]

I remember Him when he was a candidate in Corby back in 1979 he did not get elected

[@londonman8688]

fantastic episode

[@GentlemanH]

What a great interview - lots of snippets of information - most interesting. Thanks.

Love Talking Pints, please extend the time.

[@joedwyer3297]

Id love to know more about that monk! Sounds like a crazy story

[@gwidonpopielski2885]

it is the story about human soul

[@jackoneill519]

its good to talk

[@f4jukblueplanet916]

Fascinating guy, we need to hear more from him.

[@philging]

Fascinating content - that should have been twice as long.

[@Oak_Knight]

I remember the debates around the Maastricht Treaty and as someone who disliked the Conservatives I was following the Euro-sceptic rebels without really understanding the issue at the time. But I do remember being disgusted that they lost their backbone and capitulated when when John Major made the vote a vote of confidence. All the principles and concerns raised by people such as Bill Cash just melted away.

[@kevwiz369]

Wow..Fantastic guy..and I love Talking pints..long may it continue!!!!!

[@AvaT42]

Rupert Allison is fascinating to listen to, so intelligent.

[@justonecornetto80]

Nigel didn't really let Rupert get going here but I remember an interview with him in the mid 90s when he predicted the rise of China in detail and what would happen if they were admitted to the WTO. It's a shame that idiot Bill Clinton didn't see it or he might have kept them out and we wouldn't be facing the criminal superpower we are today.

[@cecilefox9136]

I agree with you!

[@hugo2oguh2]

It may be irrelevant but why does he sound like a 50s Italian mobster when he says the word "nervous" at 1.45.

[@susanmullin4701]

Very interesting.

[@lizeggar2421]

Great concept . I only wish it was an hour long, especially when the guests are so interesting.

[@alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

Rupert Allason looks very old here. I remember him back in the 1990s and under John Major. By the way : @01:42 "Norvous?" That's different. 🤣🤣🤣 Just to add that Mr. Allason did try to sure HIGNFY(a program which nowadays I think is rather past its best) and lost. He also got into trouble in 2001 for suing Random House, after claiming to have ghost written a book for them, and he lost was forced to pay damages.

[@GrumpyAustralian]

So you've confirm my views that Major is a Slimball!

[@veryhappychappy12]

Agreed, but it didn't need confirming. As sleazy as Blair just grey and mouselike with it.

[@fhugheveleigh2]

Most interesting.

[@robshaw3655]

he has some interesting characters excellent

[@Jimontherun]

Great interview

[@gareththomas6714]

judge, Mr Justice Laddie, described Rupert Allason as "one of the most dishonest witnesses I have ever seen"

[@guinnessharvey4476]

I’m a socialist and I love this Pints series

[@Jack-fs2im]

There is a rise and fall of every political career

[@rattusnorvegicus4380]

Allason`s a wonder man, while most politicians are Alice in Wonderland.

[@londonman8688]

can we have a follow up episode

[@seanhale5244]

Farage; you bastard! That was just getting really interesting. Get Allason back And extend your programme to forty-five minutes. Cheers!

[@waynzignordics]

I wish you had asked him about the Deep State and the Security State. I bet he has insight into those issues like few do.

[@jonesalex565]

Biden wasn't always wrong: he said we shouldn't have gone in!

[@HarveyPaul007]

What about the " Confucius Institutes " in all the universities?

[@elizabethmccarthy9885]

More of this.

[@Pacdoc-Oz]

Now I know that the secret intelligence service information in the books of Nigel West are to be taken as genuine insight and not fanciful invention. Publish here in Australia if you get a D notice in GB, sir.

[@willewinky]

Nigal is starting to interrupt his guests. He should shut up and let them speak.

[@iap-ug3oy]

Very interesting……

[@Ozymandias1]

Did Basil Fawlty vote for him? I bet Sybil didn't.

[@englishfreedon5470]

Well ww2 English was imprisoned for saying we should join Germany ??

[@gweightman]

Is this the same Rupert Allason, who lost his seat, after not leaving a tip at a restaurant, so all the staff decided to vote Liberal Democrat ???

[@user-qf6yt3id3w]

If you look at the election votes in 1992 and 1997 it's more that Labour and UKIP both increased their share of the vote that caused it. E.g. 1992 Conservative Rupert Allason 28,624 49.9 −4.1% Liberal Democrats Adrian Sanders 22,837 39.8 +2.2% Labour Peter Truscott 5,503 9.6 +1.2% National Front Robert Jones 268 0.5% New Natural Law Alison Thomas 157 0.3 New Majority 5,787 10.1 So Allason had a majority of 5787 in 1992 1997 Liberal Democrats Adrian Sanders 21,094 39.6% −0.2 Conservative Rupert Allason 21,082 39.5% −10.4 Labour Michael Morey 7,923 14.9 +5.3% UKIP Graham Booth 1,962 3.7 New Liberal Bruce Cowling 1,161 2.2 New Rainbow Dream Ticket Paul Wild 100 0.2 New Majority 12 0.1 N/A In 1997 you can see a bunch of votes went to Labour, UKIP and Liberal. Note the Lib Dems actually lost votes too. That story about Conservative voting waiters switching to the Lib Dems is just something leftists like to believe because it fits their prejudices. I doubt they know anyone who admit to voting Conservative. Note that if UKIP hadn't have stood and Booth had told his supporters to vote for Allason he'd have won.

[@gweightman]

@@user-qf6yt3id3w If you check your facts,, the staff were all going to vote Tory, but because he was so unpleasant , they swapped over and he lost by a handful of votes.

[@user-qf6yt3id3w]

@@gweightman It's a load of bollocks Jon Ronson made up for his book 'Them: Adventures with Extremists'. Literal fake news the left laps up because it confirms their preconceptions about how the world works.

[@gweightman]

@@user-qf6yt3id3w It was in all newspapers, a few days after the election, with pictures of the staff.

[@WILLIAM1690WALES]

Not this segment but part of Nigel‘s show tonight Michael Gove was in Aberdeen because that was the place of his birth and where he was brought up in so even they would perhaps be tolerant of him,, just another slight observation he called it SIS and not what the vast majority of people would understand it is MI6 I’m sure he has a reason for that?🤫

[@JohnAnderson-ms2cn]

What a wunch of bankers

[@topcat8804]

Thatcher was very noivous, apparently, and UKIP destroyed the Labour Party. And yet the Labour Party is still here and UKIP has evaporated.

[@jhunt823]

Now if either of those blokes were PM..!!!

[@wroot1]

Baaaaaaaased

[@clarriott5]

Nice idea and some really good guests but there is no atmosphere of a comfortable place to sit down and discuss something over a pint. Its tidy clinical and cold. As a result your guests look decidedly uncomfortable. Anyway early days but i think they should work on that. Also i agree with many other comments that its too short.

[@russellbishop5995]

Rupert Allason. He hasn't aged well.

[@patriciah.1090]

The talking pints title makes me cringe, it’s too blokey.
