The moment he said "you thought it wasn't?", just brilliant. The confused and slightly scared face the interviewer makes is priceless.
Mr. BBC was reduced to mindless babbling; like a skit from Black Adder with the fop Hugh Laurie speaking untamed gibberish. Nobody does high-tone gibberish like the Brits.
Surprised the BBC didn't try to bury this.
They buried as much as they could've, if they went scorched earth then they would've been dragged through the dirt even more as it was seemingly livestreamed too.
Hilariously bad interview though, brings up memories of the old channel 4 interview with Peterson
Parody of a London twat sounds just like an actual London twat.
Hugh Laurie is a twat? What's he done? I only remember him from House, and J&W prior.
Blackadder season 3 has him playing prince george, the epitome of upper-class twat. (Season 4 he's also a bit of a posh duffer, less than a prince, just a twit)
He played one.
Ah right. I always forget him in BA.

I checked the bbc channel, they've edited most of it.

During the USSR the biggest term used to define disallowed speech was "misinformation".
I don't particularily like that take. Not because it is not somewhat true but because he did not adress the elephant in the room: That a lot of the things that were labelled misinformation in the past turned out to be, actually and factually true but most people will blissfully still believe they aren't because at one point in time twitter decided (or was coerced) to put a label on it.
My response to the misinformation accusation: do China and Russia use the “misinformation” label to discredit stories that are harmful to their political interests? Yes? So we’ve established that governments abuse this label in order to advance their agendas. Do we imagine the US government to be magically above such behavior?
Ah, watch out

Burning down the house
He is a white male, so I'm a bit shocked that they would have a white male, probably straight interviewer that is incompetent.
The BBC guy could've also just pulled a fake example out of ass and it wouldn't have been falsifiable.
Can't blame him. It's the first time in over a decade of this stupid hoax epidemic of "hate speech" that someone has actually demanded one. To them, it's just a given that the hate speech exists, is a huge problem, and there is no disagreement that Something Must Be Done unless you are also a hateful bigot.
