"is the man a lefty or is the woman?"
That's what I asked Grok after viewing this chaos:
Grok's answer here. Short answer: The man is the lefty.

My guess is they must be married to each other.
Painful to watch.
Meantime, looks like the BBC put government officials in the newsroom to edit stories. As opposed to the traditional 'pick up a phone and call them for rebuttal.'
Complaining about BBC is a long, useless tradition. Either defund it or accept it won't change.
I rather liked her 'Go on - get it all out... purge yourself'
I can't understand most of it. But the fact remains - white leftists are racist.
I had to look up "secondment."
People are forced to pay for the bbc.
Everyone on that panel is a lefty.
Some are just closer to consequences than others and they are eating each other.
After leftist alliances devour the spoils they turn on each other. Standard parasite activity.
We used to call that "dual-hatting."
"Reassignment."
I really don't like either of them.
"There's no need for all that.
All what?
If you want to get acquainted,
why don't you just say so?
Acquainted?
You'd be amusing
if you weren't so pathetic!
I like how he's vaguely reminiscent of Christopher Hitchens but never says anything sharp, just persists with pointless endless arrogance.
Britishest conversation I ever seen.
I actually think this was framed to his advantage, which is a standard trick with capturing short clips. You can steer the perceptions quite well. The comparison to Hitchens is pretty spot on, the person who presents better might be perceived as prevailing, when in fact their argument is highly flawed. For someone that wanted to ' move on', he sure repeated 'moving on' a whole bunch of times, rather than just shutting up and letter her run the program.
"People are forced to pay for the bbc."
The British are gluttons for punishment. Subjects get off on it.
Honestly, a black, female host losing composure over being "disrespected" is not a good look. I guess seeing what led up to that would help, but not much.
ISWYDT bagoh20.
I honestly needed subtitles for the guy. . . . . .
What language are they speaking? Can't be English
Its strange how the Brits in private life are so polite, but when they get on TV or get up in Parliment, they can be very rude and obnoxious.
The UK TV elite is like the USA. Even though blacks are a small percentage in the UK, the insist on putting blacks on every news discussion panel or as anchormen. You'd think from watching BBC or GB news, that 1/4 of the UK was black - instead of 4 percent.
According to Grok, the guy is called "Andy Twelves" and he got reprimanded for "talking over" the other guests. He retaliated, and this little tiff ensued.
The tiff was probably more interesting then the previous 10 minutes of political blah blah.
The host is extremely annoying. If you are going to ask a question, listen to the answer and then ask a follow-up. Between the questions, stop talking. The guy was difficult to understand due to accent issues. As to which of them is a lefty - everyone in the studio is a lefty. It is the BBC and the UK.
That was one longest “You!” “No,you” that I have heard since fourth grade. Each wanted to be the last voice that sounded.
The BBC has never been impartial and its always been leftwing. People just accept that, and act accordingly. Of course, the Conservative Party in the UK is just like the Republicans in the USA. The British conservative voters demand the BBC be defunded or held to account, the Conservatives say "Of course" during election time. And then do nothing.
BTW, in case you forgot, twitter before Musk, had ex-FBI trump haters deciding who got banned and who didnt. And "old twitter" was in constant communication with the Biden Adminstration. People working for Joe Biden were calling up twitter and demanding so and so be banned. And they were.
I really hate it when people do that thing where they keep telling someone to finish what they're saying but then keep cutting them off so that they can't finish what they're saying. I really hope that woman wasn't the host of that show because that was completely unprofessional and, honestly, stupid.
Kinda like dem congesscritter's kangaroo hearings for Trump's cabinet members.
Lefty... I kept waiting for them to throw punches...
You tease, ann.

I thought so too, until I read that the guy was a lefty, then I figured he probably deserved it.
The guy on the right has what I call "drunk eyes". Those are the type of eyes men get when they've had a few. On the way to a full blackout, one drink at a time. There are many photos of me during my drinking career when I see what my mother called "Chinese eyes" -- I had been drinking and the eyes gave it away. My sister and brother and I got together and had a formal photo portrait done of the three of us for their anniversary. I hate to look at it. I was hungover and had two beers before the 10 AM appointment to make the session bearable. I had a shit-eating grin and Chinese eyes in the picture. After the death of our parents (my mom first, and then, ten years later, my dad in a silly accident at home), not one of us wanted that photo. I suspect my siblings suspected. They knew I was a boozer. They suspected my "condition" that morning. Ah, so glad those days are over. It's been close to 12,000 mornings now that I have woken up without a hangover. Granted, given my relationships since I got sober (and subsequently divorced twice), many times I woke up with a nightmare next to me.
Agreed, Ann was spot on with the Hitchens comparison.
Television hosts, like comedians, must have a small armory of techniques for dealing with hecklers. This woman needs a bigger armory.
That guy from the Trump rally needs to come in there and punch them both.
"That's not argument, that's just contradiction."
"No it isn't!"
"Yes it is!"
Nana Akua is great. Her shows are usually boisterous, although not always this boisterous. GB News in general is committed to bringing on people with opposing viewpoints. Even Portillo's gentlemanly Sunday morning show features viewpoint-diverse panels, although in his case the disagreements are most courteously conducted.
You can stream GB News totally free 24/7 on YouTube, or get their app, also totally free. I highly recommend them. CC, JSM
"is the man a lefty or is the woman?"
I misread that as "Is the man a lefty or a woman?"
I see your secondment but have already moved on to thirdments and fourthments.
GBNews is generally considered to be on or closer to the conservative side of things.
Hitchens could be the most annoying "talking over people" guy ever. He'd blather on and on. And then..pause. The other person would start to talk, thinking "Hitch" was finished. And then Hitchens would start again, and talk over the other person until they finally shut up. Then it was more Hitchens blah-de-blah. Until another pause.
The thing to do with "I'm going to talk over overs guy" is to never give up. Just keep on talking as long as they do. This is really important for women. If you're in a meeting and Mr. Macho talk-over-guy tries to stream roll you - just keep talking. Don't be "nice". Dont get demoralized because his big base voice is drowning you out. He cant make himself heard if you're still talking.
That's the one thing I tried to instill in my daughter. Do not be meek and mild. Do not be intimidated. Don't let the loudmouths shut you down.
I was reminded of PeeWee Herman’s exchange with Francis Buxton (“I know you are, but what am I… I know you are but what am I…”) in “PeeWee’s Big Adventure”.
Brits actually watch programs like this one? Poor dears.
This looks like every episode of cnn that I watch. The female host talking over everyone.
