Fascinating interview. Polite and respectful on either side of a contentious and divisive debate.
There is nothing divisive about disarmament.
Only self loathing and suicidal communists in the west considered disarmament in the west seriously.
These are people
Today who support indefinite covid lockdowns and the green new deal and gun control and mass immigration which will destroy the west.
Imagine this lunatic woman saying that Britain would be safer if she unilaterally disarmed .
Why can't modern political discourse be this polite!!
That was a short theme tune at 0:24
A wonderful debate, clear, articulate, vigorous but calm.
Both put good reasoned arguments. Health always was on top of his brief.
The woman is naive and a fool or a communist shill
Yes I love how he's on top of the situation I wish he were in top of me !
I don't think anyone in their right mind jumps for joy at the existence of nuclear weapons, but surely, doesn't the intervening 40 years since this interview, with no nuclear war, prove Ruddock wrong? I'd love not to be spending the vast amount we do on this horrendous thing, but Britain, with a decreasingly few other countries, are largely sane, on an insane planet, what else can we do?!
A proper debate. Calm and measured on both sides, well mannered. No one described asa traitor or whatever. Watching this you get a clear idea of both sides and the viewer can make up their own mind.
The woman is a fool and a communist and a traitor.
She is the kind of lunatic that is leading the west to its destruction with the green new deal and covid lockdowns and mass immigration and gun control.
Ted Heath was not perfect but atleast showed common sense on nuclear deterrence
@@tyqwdybijoare you an American thicko by any chance?
@@Dave-kj4vr are you a western hating commie pinko liberal that claims they hate Nazi’s but wants to put experimental drugs in the body of 7 billion people without informed consent ?
Good comment .Refer to my comment by me Lara G .above .I love his deep sonorous voice it's so smooth , I wonder I really wonder what brand of Whiskey he drinks or does he prefer wine ? I like Black Velvet with Coca Cola as a chaser and Laphroaig straight .And when the war is over with Russia I'm going to celebrate with two Smirnoff 100 double Vodka and Tonics and nothing then could stop me from a Tanqueray Gin and tonic to make me blush and celebrate peace and friendly relations again with Russia and China !
A refreshing example of proper, intelligent debate between opponents who can respect each other.
Of course, these days they'd be shouting, finger pointing and resorting to personal attacks - all the while gaslighting the audience with performative nonsense.
Far more articulate than most of today's politicians.
Edward Heath I like your views something well difficult like public speaking and interviews and debating well you just do superbly you're truly special blessed by God himself with the gift of persuasive speech ! I'm glad I met you while you were alive and I feel that in these troubled times chiefly war , economic troubles and Covid that you are truly with us all of us more than just in spirit ! Thank you for blessing us with your presence and thank you for serving so long in the House of Commons ,over or nearly 50 years ....now that's staying Power ! Love, Lara G. chiefly of California but known at times to visit Royalty and the British people in the British Isles !
I think Joan held her own up until the end when it became clear she wasn't prepared to increase Britain's spending on conventional weapons.
Joan Ruddock later became Labour MP for Lewisham West for many years. I didn’t know she was CND leader lol
She is a fool and a communist. The kind of lunatic that is leading the west to its destruction with the green new deal and covid lockdowns and mass immigration and gun control
I would be on the opposite side of the debate from Mr Heath on almost all issues, but he is totally in command of every issue, to what seems an almost impossible degree; today's candidates for high office, such as Diane Abbott, rely on just a wing and a prayer, and are actually frighteningly incompetent.
A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO A WOMAN WITHOUT VOCAL FRY
If it's a woman you want, Heath's your man.
What an utterly hopeless prime minister. How on earth did he get voted in?
You mentally ill mate?
She never faced the realities of life.
Indeed. The woman is a fool and a communist and a traitor.
She is the kind of lunatic that is leading the west to its destruction with the green new deal and covid lockdowns and mass immigration and gun control.
Ted Heath was not perfect but atleast showed common sense on nuclear deterrence
@@tyqwdybijo she was highly attractive though
@@nickthompson2069 no doubt
I'd be interested to know about her background, who groomed her, her metaphysical pedigree, etc. She's extremely Talmudic, I know that much. As for the issue at hand, it's a non-issue. The only important issue is who she, Heath, and the interviewer work for. I know who they work for.
