Well, thats because i think weve only had the good view. i mean, we tend to... have we? we tend not to think about british empire in this country. but when we do, it tends to be quite nostalgic films about the raj or bbc documentaries about the railways presented by men of a certain age wearing red trousers, talking about the gift the british have given the indians. and we all know now, actually, they werent a gift and, actually, the railways were built for the british, for military and economic...

In the countries in which it occupied the territory and ruled the people and compares it with others, for example, the belgians in africa. and the conclusion is always, you know, for all of the terrible flaws with what the british did and the violence that came with it, there was — well, to coin a cliche from the past — a civilising mission there which certainly was absent from the belgians in africa. i think comparing empires isjust as inane as the balance sheet. its like saying its ok to k...

Has that become a liability for him in a way it hasnt appeared to be in the past? i think its less about detail and more about character and the type of person he is. the tory party has been prepared to overlook his personal flaws. he was sacked as a newspaper writer for telling untruths. he was sacked as a shadow minister for telling untruths about an extramarital affair. i think we are seeing a character flaw. there comes a point when they go into a tailspin and the strengths become weaknesses...

Maybe ian can explain it, i people voted for him knowing full well what his flaws - were and whether they would suit the office of prime - minister. yet they voted for him. it wasnt a fur coat, but they liked it just the same. i suppose after dominic cummings and his trip to barnard castle, matt hancock and his embrace with an aide when people were supposed to socially distance, is it looking... do you think the public will wrap themselves in the borisjohnson comfort once again? well, the polls ...

Support these voting rights bills, i assume they would target him. so, i think something is going on there. you can see this systematic attack happening. you cant just isolate one part, is so massive. it the attack on the education system. so that when there are protests, americans will understand their cause and will call forever more violent police reaction. the attack on protests, the gerrymandering, all of this. and were a very young democracy, anyway. so, weve only became arguably somewhat ...

>> well, were all hypocrites, because we owe in a system of injustice, all of us benefit from and democratic institutions. private universities, private bts. so, theres hypocrisy here when the united states is under really an existential threat. not just from the electoral loss, but the attacks on our education system, which will result in less informed voters. and the protest laws. 45 states have considered 230 bills regulating protests. 36 of them have been enacted. these are bills that you ha...
