      Mike should be quiet, when Peter is on. I only TH-cam these segments just to listen to Peter. I don't listen to Mike's show at all, i find the Mike's views juvenile. No thought behind what he says. Like a tabloid newspaper.

      ​​@@colofsco1 , for all of Mike's shortcomings, he's fairly affable and jovial, and there's some times, albeit infrequent, where he can make even Hitchens laugh. However, it's the nature of the show isn't suited to discussing serious topics in depth.

Sturgeon is under investigation with allegations much more serious than anything Boris has ever committed.

    After everything that has happened my opinion has completely changed, I still like the man but he is no leader.
    Couldnt care much about his antics in regards to "party-gate" etc but my biggest gripe with him is he was a soft liberal "conservative"

    Re Ukraine- Russia situation. Neither side is strong enough to inflict decisive defeat on the other. The war will drag on until war weariness in either/both country/countries makes continuing the fight impossible. Then, some sort of messy compromise will be reached, probably involving Russia keeping some of the territory she has occupied since 2014. Very sad but i see no other outcome. The best Ukraine can hope for is a country with slightly less territory buttressed by solid guarantees from western powers. Some sort of pride salvaged on both sides and countless lives saved.

    • @ianlarge9016

      You are very much mistaken. The Russians are systematically destroying the Ukrainian armed forces using artillery, missiles and drones etc. To achieve this, very little actual movement on the map is necessary, as the Ukrainians come to them. The Russians will advance once they have defeated Ukraine in detail.

      Like a fad, the muppets of Great Britain won't learn a thing, and will fall for the next dazzling charlatan to come along, just as they've done time and again. Britain remained free in part because it had a class that could think and challenge when really necessary, and the freedom of expression which permitted it. Now we have no class that is well educated or can think or see beyond their noses, and that doesn't want free expression. RIP one of the greatest civilisations in history. This is no joke, although there was no golden age, once our freedom and prosperity has completely disappeared, history may look back and wonder how an advanced culture screw things up so badly. Then again, with the way things are going, probably not.
