Andrew Neil - this week

isis isn't beat yet? al qaeda is still there after 16 years.

in chess it's possible to win by unnerving your opponent.
psychology and guerilla tactics is a powerful weapon.

if you spend a million on a missile to kill six guys on a truck,
and they kill your guys with bullets? 

i remember a bully beating the crap out of this kid as a youngster.
the bully would move away and the kid would shout out and call him names.
the bully would return and hit him. the kid would just continue to call him names.
These guys in iraq and afghanistan have been at war for a thousand years.

we'll withdraw because we get bored - they'll keep coming.
the Buddhists knows violence breeds more violence.

I think Andrew's just earned himself a fatwa

No, just another fatcheque

Sounds like Facts didn't like his speech.

Shocking isn't it, someone actually saying it how it is, almost unforgivable

Neil always delivers an excellent monologue whenever the religion of pieces carries out one if it's attacks on democracy and last night's was a belter.

Anyone, anywhere, in any walk of life, who doesn't agree with every single word he spoke yesterday or took offence at the sentiment expressed, is a part of the problem and should take themselves somewhere dark and quiet and have a little word with themselves.

Wish I'd seen it, Neil is one of the few journalists who speak sense without fearing the PC brigade.

Just watching it now, here you are T'.

Apart from when he was interviewing, I mean interrupting Katie Hopkins a while ago.

I might be going against the grain here but I found it cringeworthy and was actually embarrassed for him.

As if he was trying to be like Churchill and do some "on the beaches" speach, way way over the top.

Talks about police running towards the trouble 'while everyone else runs away' What a slap in the face that is to the guy who ran
to fight the jihad and help the copper and all the other of the members of public who rally around to help when any of these
attacks happen.

You could almost smell the reek of self centred desperation for recognition coming through the tv while he was talking.

Nicely put, James. Should have left the opening speech out.

i thought it was a brave move.nice to see someone from the bbc putting their head above the parapet for once.

Don't worry BARROWBOY, normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
It's not coincidence that the programme went out at Midnight.

I've lost count of the news stories that I've heard on the 6AM news that I thought would cause a stir. Then never heard mentioned again by the BBC.

Could it possibly be that he may over egg it because he knows perfectly well  that no other broadcaster will go anywhere near the knuckle on a subject like this, as though its almost a protest speech more than anything else.

The attitude of some broadcasters seems to be, what have we done to make this person behave in this way and how can we change our behaviour to stop it happening again.

"Poundland terrorist," classic.

And he thinks trump is a prick so I agree he is alright with me as well.

A very good Speech but i am still not a fan of the Smug git.

Smug git indeed. Ba' faced self important over opinionated slob. So there. Didn't see or hear speech but I can guess.

Btw, the "Poundland" gibe ain't his. Two faced waste of space.

smug he may be,but hes the only tv political commentator who does his homework & is prepared to challenge & question his guests properly irrespective of their party.

I remember the first show subsequent to the Charlie Hebdo killings. Now that was a proper diatribe. Last thursday was mere 'huff and puff' by comparison .....

I like him.

I thought it was pretty pathetic. How can you call someone a poundland terrorist when he killed and maimed people right outside the seat of our democracy, then stabbed a copper?

The terrorist won, the people who were killed and injured lost...He will have motivated thousands more to follow the words of Mohammed to die killing the 'infidels.'

This is not the time for empty words. It's time to close Mosques, ban the Koran and Hadith..

...and that'll stop this kind of thing will it?

Unless the ideology of Mohammed is tackled in schools, media, mosques etc, it's more likely to continue.

I've yet to hear ONE mainstream pundit address Mohammed's call to martydom by killing the rest of us. He's protected from debate, discussion and of course criticism.

Good speech.
AN the best political interviewer currently on tv.

over emotional, reactionary and unprofessional, should leave this kind of poor man's Winston Churchill speach to ranting youtube vloggers, it might have made himself feel better and pandered to those who wanted to hear it, but that's it.

He would have been better off keeping it short and sweet and dismissing the mad man as somebody not worthy of air time, this was after all 1 single person out of 63 million, it wasn't a systamatic, multi pronged attack across the city involving hundreds of jihadi's. 1 brainwashed individual shouldn't provoke such a response from a supposedly intelligent man, perspective.

The opening of this week has become a caricature of a serious political show what follows isn't much better.

Theresa Mays speech to parliament was superb.

A complete load of tosh..who was he addressing?...pathetic..as for Cruella..

some so called serious snow flake woman who does the sat night spot on sky,s paer review still in despair over brexit and trump,says these attacks have nothing to do with religon,the rest of us might as well give up,its taken 4 days but libtards are now happy within themselves that this was all to do with a criminal thug,job done move on,NEXT,
obviously they havnt got the sense to realise that with 100,s of 1000,s of violent criminals out there its just concincidenc 99.999999999999999999% of them read the koran

Does reading the quran make you a bad driver?

It does if you're reading it whilst driving!

Plod have said 'we may never know his motive'.

And so the denial goes on...

some so called serious snow flake woman who does the sat night spot on sky,s paer review still in despair over brexit and trump,says these attacks have nothing to do with religon

there are over 2 millions moslems in the UK. are they all attacking and killing people?

stop being rational a_t, it doesn't go down well here

2 million  - double that and a bit more one thinks

and they are all attacking and killing people? must be carnage out there - i'll pop out in a while to have a look...

2 million muslims live in the uk
i,d be quite happy to narrow it down to those who,ve been on the radar of
mi5
made visits to the far east
have criminal records,
by the way in the space of 2 days how many thugs who,ve nothing to do with religion have 3,000 pieces of information on a laptop found by the police to have been of interest to them,and how many non religious thugs try to make their daughters where the burka,
just asking snowflakes,
no matter how the hard the snowflakes try they,ll never convince the sane amongst us that if its yellow,waddles and quacks its not a duck,
in life somethings are that obvious its embarrassing that they even get airtime to discuss any alternatives

unfortunately you wouldnt be allowed to get within 2 miles of the uk,s no go area,s to see hard line muslims in action,and the irony is your hardline muslim will hate the snowflakes more than he hates your so called right winger,they despise the middle class snowflakes stand for

A-T

The majority of Muslims are an irrelevance. If a sizeable minority are intent on carnage that's enough.

See the Nazis, IRA, Tamil Tigers, LRA and every horrific organisation before and since.

Up to 50 nations are affected by this. That's just terrorism. Never mind the despicable misogyny etc.

so some moslems are dangerous. what should be done about it?

deport them to scotland and hope they vote for independence

I never hear anyone criticise Japan they do not allow the practice or promotion of Islam  because it is not compatible with their society and they are right. 

  They say you can believe what you like but not do what you like if it is detrimental to their society.

The peaceful majority are irrelevant. The panelist eloquently highlights the problems with the 'peaceful majority' and the damage of political correctness, and the usual hijacking of situations to suit agendas.

It was indeed heartening to hear young Muslims find their voice after this latest attack by a vicious thug, claimed by the death cult as one of their own. the silence of the majority after the many attacks in recent years only served to enrage us and add to their self imposed exclusion from mainstream society. Equally the unwillingness of leaders to address this problem (Obama being the prime example) only serves to harden views, and divide even further, Corbyn has a lot to answer for.

This glimpse of young Muslims asserting their themselves in this way breaks the 'usual' cycle. 'Not in my name' should be shouted from the roof tops. Whilst this is not a watershed moment in our society, it could be the first flush of change toward a better understanding and engagement on all sides, if well received and encouraged.

Coming from ordinary people and not the usual self serving gob pieces. I found it heartening, it is at least a start.
