That Interview in Full

[@MichaelD8393]

9:13 The question you came here for!

[@michaelthompson679]

Thanks

[@newforestpixie5297]

Yeah thanks from me too 👍

[@iiAndy93]

"Aswell as the legendary Rolf Harris" oh how little did we know....

[@ElTunchi420]

hahahaaaa!

[@Corrupt5358]

David Cameron has a policy "If it's not broken, break it". If it's broken already leave it alone.

[@truthdude1818]

times have changed so much since this interview. EVERYTHING changed after 2006. social media, social attitudes, technology, economy, music etc.

[@truthdude1818]

Guy Person I was only 13 in 06, and I much prefer those times, although the best times in my life were the late 90s/early00s when London still felt mostly British-pity I wasn't born earlier to live in "British" London during adulthood.

[@jordannaylor1397]

a prime minister who went to eton! need i say anymore...

[@offwiththefairies77]

A Bullingdon club boy to boot.

[@botor5]

Much like Harold Macmillan? Disgraceful.

[@samhaigh8492]

This is why I like David, he wants to change things, he respects good aspects of other parties even if he does not agree with them and does not want to bring the past back. I like this man and if others cannot deal with that you can't get stuffed.

[@alextoast7536]

i dont understand why everyone voted for them, isnt this what the party is famous for? it just seems like we vote in labour to improve the country and help the poor until they get in ridiculous debt, then vote in tories to get us out of it in the most brutal ways possible, and this goes on and on..

[@23lFrench]

Wossy's funniest ever question at 9:10! Ha ha ha!

[@britishbulldog9580]

Woah this is what you call history! Rolf Harris,David Cameron and Bruce Willis altogether in 1 building before they disappeared off of our screens forever

[@AdamSmith75th]

Bruce Willis is ALL over the place. But you’re right about the other two

[@Gint8456]

The sound effects of people clapping are really good.

[@firesteel1]

Politics is all about chooser the 'lesser evil.' And Cameron is a better leader for our country than Miliband will be.

[@firesteel1]

Good to hear. Unfortunately current projections put Labour winning a majority at 80%...

[@Secular_Scot]

Mike Deakin You're left wing yet prefer Cameron and the tories to Miliband and Labour? As much as they remain tory-lite, preferring the tories is taboo.

[@Secular_Scot]

Miliband certainly has got credibility issues and an alarming lack of charisma, granted.

[@RedWolfVids]

+Mike Deakin What's your thoughts on Jeremy Corbyn?

[@rahulkemp8347]

@firesteel - still beliee that?

[@TheStoicBrowser]

The teachers went on strike last Wednesday. Did he acknowledge that?

[@BassaiDai123]

You, sir, have just made my evening.

[@thisizwar1]

Back in the days where he really seemed genuine..

[@stewban007]

Was this before he was prime minster?

[@warmtoffee]

stewban007 Yes on 23-JUN-2006. He became Prime Minister in 2010.

[@666or999]

The lack of cuts will effect everyone since the current system of burrowing is unsustainable..

[@CHILLISeminemREM]

why is it called 'THAT INTERVIEW'?

[@AlzdemX]

jonathan ross is one smart dude

[@Francesko263]

David Cameron looks like John Steed from The Avengers. He should wear the bowler and the umbrella.

[@WolF911x]

first time I see cameron shy

[@ATravellersVlog]

0:45 "...you can't be a complete prick." Oh Jonathan, you couldn't be more wrong.

[@dovercat1]

Current budget deficit has not been cut by a quarter. The drop in public sector borrowing was achieved by cutting net investment, saying they have cut the deficit by a quarter is a slight of hand trick misrepresenting reality. In the last financial year, the current deficit fell by only about one thirtieth. The current budget deficit is also now going up.

[@rrp6405]

17:30 wait till he calls a referendum

[@vivavaldez87]

He should never be allowed to interview politicians ever again!

[@TheBaggieboy95]

look at the bit before "you wasn't a high profile sort of person"

[@morrossey]

haha jonathon speaks far more eloquently than cameron!

Fantastic! loved it!!!

[@InlandEmpire91]

He sure is.

[@warriorofwrestlingv3]

The phrase 'out of the frying pan, and into the fire' comes to mind.

[@levelate]

jonathon ross is a great interviewer in this. you can tell he was really into this.

[@theforestero]

''Wank factory''Cameron could manage hundreds of the things.

[@FrogmortonHotchkiss]

David Cameron would smile at you and shake your hand if he met you, but he would loathe being you for a day. If he had to live your life he would either kill whomever he has to to rise to his former position, or he would sink into despair and self-loathing. David Cameron and people of his ilk live for power and despise anyone who doesn't have it. This is why they need training to look remotely at ease around normal people. He has no empathy or understanding for those who aren't big players.

[@cupcakefairy87]

Blair was still Prime Minister at this point. Cameron wouldn't get the role until four years later...

[@dajazman2k]

What are you talking about?

[@rapkantodus]

youve replied about one thing of what i said, what is your reaction to the rest? which is your highest priority? saving lives from a malicious dictator, or worrying about being called a hippocrit?

[@swashknuckler]

please do

[@Kane-ib5sn]

David Cameron is a good guy; he stands up for Muslims (which I couldn't care for...their religion), he wants to keep drugs safely away from people (to which I would rather have a free choice)...the point is, he's a good guy; he cares for his people...and his nation; he's not going down the path of Greece, just to make some shady friends...A Good PM for the UK.

[@pauldog]

Because he was the last real PM, and I'm trying to bring balance to the argument. They're basically the same person. In other words, whether you vote for Labour or Conservatives it's likely you'll get the same kind of leadership.

[@CliffRichardsPissSac]

Left and Right closer together than ever....accurate forsight from an unlikely source

[@Dannycru]

@GunjanMJFan That's because politicians are trained very well in saying things that no one can disagree with

[@Oliiiverr]

Much respect to Johnathan Ross during this interview. I like him already, but I don't normally expect much from him aside from giving me a laugh. He actually asked some decent and insightful questions here, even had David Cameron dodging difficult questions. And you know when an interviewer makes a politician run as clearly as this that he's intelligent.

[@Blofeld67]

It was nice, as well as ironic, to hear Rolf Harris get a cheer at the very end!

[@Tchernobog]

it's banned from tv

[@GoldenbanjoDJ]

I have to agree with Cameron on this. The whole 'legalise drugs because if you want them you can get them anyway' argument can be applied to a range of different other scenarios. I wonder who would agree with the following: - legalise guns because you can get them if you really want them - dissolve a legal drinking age because every man and his dog are getting drunk these days - remove age certifications on DVDs and video games with adult content because everyone ends up playing them anyhow The whole 'if you want it you can get it' argument for legalising anything is stupid and irresponsible. The only problem it removes is the fact that someone is doing them illegally, whilst presenting a whole new set of problems for society, not least massively increased usage. And whatever you say, going to the black market to get drugs is a lot more difficult than picking them off a shelf at a store.

[@chrisduck6443]

GoldenbanjoDJ the difference is that the things you mentioned are legal and regulated. drugs are illegal and unregulated. if they were to be legalized and regulated there would be more control over procedures in place to manage the qualities, age regulations and such.

[@666or999]

Well you just said yourself that most everyone can get drugs and yet not everyone is actively taking them.

[@EJLMC]

finally someone with sense.

[@VictorFr0st]

Yank here, why do you guys hate Cameron? Out of curiosity.

[@666or999]

'The gap between the rich and poor HAS grown,' That gap will always grow due to inflation.

[@MrFrankster25]

DC looks after me!

[@ImSoFunkyGreen]

Oh please, a recession isn't caused by a UK party it's worldwide. Gordon Brown became PM at the worst time possible. Its been 2 years and what have the tories done nothing to do with demand or economic growth all it is with them is raising taxes, fees and anything they can. Remember before conservative Labour had been the dominant party for 13 years and for a reason, people who didn't know anything about politics just panicked and blamed Labour

[@coxmj15]

ironically, you have to wait. 2-3 years at a rough estimate.

[@jezus22]

[@longmayshereign7880]

I'm proud to have such an esteemed gentlemen lead Her Majesty's Government of the United Kingdom; I wish him well for his second term heading the Conservative Majority government.

[@michaelheeheejackson7255]

Ha GAYYYYYYYYY

[@incredibleXMan]

I'm talking about how people automatically assume Ed Milliband will be an inferior PM.

[@thegabrielhyde]

Yes you can. It happened after WWII. And they didn't come into power in a recession, they came into power after one and then started another.

[@FuturistMedia]

The ability to write effectively and construct an argument succinctly at degree level are very transferrable skills in employment, I'd wager. Traditionally an academic degree was attained as a measure of a student's discipline and intelligence. The training of the mind. Hence why subjects are refereed to as 'disciplines.' The subject isn't necessarily important, I'll grant you, but the intelligence and discipline required to study at degree level is an excellent measure of a person's ability.

[@warmtoffee]

The BBC was OK with everything. As was Jonathan Ross's people as were Cameron's people. The BBC only edited the video after transmission. I am not a prude and accept that in a recorded interview you can go over the top to build a rapport and edit it out afterwards. Larry King said that interviewers need to be 'dangerous'. I thought the two questions in this one to be in extremely bad taste. It's not the question but the context.

[@magicelliotth]

@jameswanantony I know. I've no idea why anyone gave him a talk show

[@GLPMatty]

Shows us how much David really knows about drugs.

[@RedWolfVids]

Believe it or not he was caught smoking weed while he was a young twat at Eton. If only he had been expelled; we wouldn't have to deal with his intolerable bullshit.

[@GLPMatty]

+RedWolfVids yeah but that don't surprise me. Most of America's presidents admit they done Cocaine while in office when they retire from politics. I agree with you on your last point as well. I just ducking hate our government

[@tomtucker5160]

He said 'Tory-voting' not 'Tory'.

[@ThePremize]

Agreed!

[@GlenMcMahon]

''I'll be here longer than you probably'' I think not

[@TomDaMooseUK]

It's no lie that the tories are better for the economy than labour, but there isn't really a massive difference nowadays. There's always going to be economic ups and downs, there's never a constant. I don't trust any of the 3 major parties to lead this country effectively, they've all screwed us over at some point, but it's true that the tories are the best of the 3 to lead us right now.

[@vitormangraviti]

Stealing is when one takes something from someone and they are left without anything. And that's not my point. My point is that there is a dictatorship and you ca't deny that. I have the right to access whatever website I want and so do you. I still access TPB without a problem anyway, but the point is that most people don't know how to do it. And banning people from doing what they want is dictatorship.

[@benrider6552]

This is even funnier now thatcher's dead XD

[@markfranciso4887]

See David KarmaCameron video on KZbin...

[@Andywardley9000]

Absolutely right. It's quite frustrating that other people don't understand the simplest principle that you can't please everyone individually and then they take it out on the conservatives.

[@TheBaggieboy95]

1:58 and now that prat is our prime minster

[@warmtoffee]

I uploaded this to Google Video in June 2006 after the BBC disclaimed ownership and therefore copyright of it. There was criticism at the time so the BBC put an abridged version on their website and asked "what is the fuss about"? They have banned repeat showings of the full interview and my shorter video "The Difference File" contains only the censored material. "That story in full" artefact is borrowed from Private Eye who probably took it from a real newspaper style.

[@itvnews86]

At 18:20, I like it when Jonathan Ross looks at the audience crossly as someone cheered.

[@VictorFr0st]

That's interesting. What left wing policies does he support? Im no expert on Brit politics but I've read that Disraeli moved the Conservative party towards a kind of paternalistic support for the poor. Is that what you're referring to?

[@mufcevo]

"there is a price... for tackling climate change" but it is a "social responsibility to the next generation"

[@terratrema]

Okay. I agree with you 100%. And I mean that honestly. I've been thinking exactly the same thing for quite some time now.

[@Mieowinkles]

Ugh, when will people forget about the old Conservatives? Yes, 2/3's of there party is in it for money and Cameron is from a well off background, but in his talks at TED and other places he always shows a very clever attitude to politics, something Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, or any other labour leader has given us. He has a charismatic understanding on the revolutions in economics and social standing, and he is brave enough to come from this background and work for the better.

[@666or999]

Cannabis is not toxic. You should be more worried about car exhausts than the fumes from spliffs.

[@danspivey91]

I don't follow politics, I don't believe a huge difference can be made either way, but David Cameron comes across as a thousand times more honest and authentic and sincere than Gordon Brown and Phoney Blair, and my family is as working class as it gets.

[@mreldude]

Because you like men with power

[@EJLMC]

I don't need to wake up at all. Walk on.

[@Rutter350]

Do explain why I'm an 'idiot' for not supporting either the party that got us into this mess, or the party that's making things worse. I'll wait.

[@iwanttocomplain]

Interesting speech from Ross on legalising drugs came out of left field.

[@scerpalman]

was he prime minister at this point?

[@cupcakefairy87]

I don't think so

[@MarkRiches]

How so? Don't take my asking the wrong way, I'm clueless on politics but I have to start learning. Does he have terrible ideas or something?

[@EJLMC]

I think you'll find it really was pretty much Labours fault.

[@Steinbach1984]

Jonathan Ross can get away with using the word "wank". You can't be entirely sure he isn't actually saying "rank".

[@Rutter350]

Interesting to see people verbally attacking me when I express an opinion, despite me not doing so to them in such an agressive manner. Shows how sad the debate in this country is tbh, any alternative to the main two are just shouted down. We're supposed to live in a pluralistic society. Apparently that isn't the case.

[@l3awl3ag]

Wow he responded to that pretty well actually. Just took it as a joke, which it was.

[@LadyPercy.]

I am a non Tory but I do like DC and think is was a good PM. He had gravitas and was able to represent GB well on the international stage. Some of your comments are just reverse snobbery. Posh bashing. At the current time they no one to demonstrate real leadership. Some people like Corbyn are principled but he never leaves London very often, too busy attending pro Corbyn rallies. I know the masses will capital letter Farage but honestly he has know negotiating skills and that poster will be his legacy of shame. Tim Fallons a nice bloke but lacks experience. Sorry your going Dave.

[@tonygrubb5374]

☝Brainwashed!

[@innovativeinnovation6629]

I cannot agree with Jonathan here because legalizing drugs will make them much much more available, then just like smoking and alcohol, more kids will want to try them. We have got to a point in time where anything readily available, we believe it must be okay to try. As Jonathan stated " A certain element of the population" ; not all! You can get anything that the shop sell at anytime of the day, whereas your drug dealers will probably be in bed until they answer your call. If you legalize them, then you will find, more addiction, more problems and everyone dying young.

[@TheLloydA1]

Labour Is the reason Britain has such high debt,i hope Britain never has to endure another Labour Goverment.

[@psychedelian87]

Give that man an oscar..

[@AFCAARLP1]

'Scumbags' on benefits is a much smaller problem than massive multinationals and individuals routing their money through tax havens and paying zero tax to the government. Not to mention (relative) tax cuts for the rich. Oh and £9000 university fees with cuts in university education at the same time is disgraceful, especially when money is being pointlessly wasted on the new 'academy status' schools are trying to achieve'

[@incredibleXMan]

It's that attitude that may condemn us to 10 years of stagnation. Look just because Ed Milliband is not rude and borish does not mean he will be a rubbish PM. I think the electorate should give him a chance. The Conservative party has shown they have no answers to the current situation. They have been in for 2 years and can't keep on blaming Labour for everything.
