What a superb interview. what an impressive character Gerwain Towler is. A real person who speaks for me when I thought I was the only one. So good to hear. Brilliant. Desmond Haley
Excellent interview. Had a pint with him during 2013 county council campaign, a force for good. Loved the observation about English rebellions being conservative.
Had the honour of knowing Gawain for some years and he has always been Reform/Ukip’s biggest hidden secret! What you see is what you get. A great guy and someone you could listen to all day for his anecdotes, stories and humour!
Tower does not come across as a political amateur. Maybe ‘professionalism’ is the last thing England (Great Britain) needs. The track record of professional politicians’ has not been for the country’s benefit. The interview mentioned Wat Tyler, a peasant, but he moved history’s needle. Give me a good amateur/maverick over the same old, same old.
Never come across this chap before I saw that short Spectator release that Reform had fired him. Seemed an interesting bloke. I found this one of the most fascinating Spectator interviews I’ve yet seen. Would love to see you either have him on more regularly, or to see him contribute to the Spectator.
Heard Gawain speak recently at the inaugural meeting of our Reform branch and was hugely impressed by his oratory and knowledge. Great to hear him speaking at length like this. Thank you.
That's the best interview I've ever seen on Spectator TV, absolutely superb. This guy needs to be on our screens as much as possible cause he's a brilliant storyteller and has a great personality. I can see why he has such a good relationship with Farage, two peas in a pod. Excellent 👍🥳🥳
Wow, this guy is the real deal, obviously passionate and committed to the cause of British independence and self-government. It is very concerning that he, and the likes of Ben Habib, have been jettisoned from the Reform party. What is going on?
That was a compelling and informative watch. Don’t think I have enjoyed anything more in a long time. What a stylish,and fascinating character he is. I am a Reform supporter 100%, but it is to my shame I have never heard of him. I will be looking out for anything he does from now on. He is man of the highest calibre, like Ben Habib. I don’t believe Farage does not see that. Both men should be at the heart of the party.
Great to get some insight into the thinking and character of one of the chief architects of a process that has brought so much success and joy to Britain.
Watched a debate he did at least ten years ago, somewhere like York, and he was Brilliant. Obviously, still is. Salute, and thank you for all you have done. You are an unsung HERO of the Silent Majority.
Nigel farage doesn't like competent people who might disagree with him . This bloke seems like he became a rival castles that had to be toppled . Farage is a snake
12 years ago I joined UKIP and met Gawain in the pub. We had a huge argument about immigration, I was in favour of it, largely, especially skilled workers. Eventually we was so pissed off with me he stormed off. But in time, I've changed my mind, I suspect I'm more pro-Deportations than he is now
Gawain has been very brilliant for years and a very very switched on character and very shrewd comms man. Always admired him and especially in the days of Sam who went down and dies way too early of bowel cancer. Sam and I were both victims of the same disease and we were in regular contact. My cancer discovered slightly earlier stage and I’m still her after 3 separate bouts and some major surgery. Always remembered the days when Sam and Gawain on that Welsh beach with Sam trying to climb off. Think that was 2014/15 and very sadly UKIP and his family lost Sam
What an extraordinarily intertesting and entertaining guy Gawain is; I must confess to not ever having heard of him. Well I have now. He seems genuine and up front with considerable knowledge and a pragmatism that rings true. I hope he continues to "fly the flag" for REFORM and honest realism
I have spoken to Gawain on a number of occasions and he has my upmost respect because without him ReformUK would not be as successful as it is now. I wish him well for the future and hope to work with him in the future. Take care Gawain and thank you for your service, you have given people hope.
It goes to show that when an interviewer actually lets the interviewee speak, you actually get to learn so much more. Too many interviewers these days are trying to look great by asking the ‘killer question’ but in the process we never hear anything of substance. A lot of ‘top’ journalists could learn a lot by adopting more of this style. Well done. Really fascinating.
Is Towler being replaced by a 25 year old with a communications degree? I hope they can keep him in the fold. His knowledge and enthusiasm are irreplaceable
@@Bobmudu35UK I’m not the biggest farrage fan. Somethings I like and some I don’t. Middle of the ground. But out of all the leaders, he has been consistent and belief in his position. I can respect that.
Terrific honest appraisal and background to why Nigel Farage and Reform are so popular. Laced with humour, thoroughly engrossing interview and highly enjoyable.
I certainly hadn,t heard of Gerwain Towler before but having been unleashed from Reform I am shocked they have dismissed such a talent. Knowing now who was guiding Reform through the election I am now worried for Reform and its new professionalism.
Excellent talk. Bang on! No-one wants a body of people that speaks the truth as it destroys those that are on the make/take! How well that has worked. Nothing of good comes without a fight. Always question the “tell them all what they want to hear” nonsense as anything that’s worth doing is tough!
Brilliant interview. Love the take on events, the random roll of the dice, that shape the future. So glad he sees the humour in it. It's a funny strange world.
I see Reform as a patriotic common sense party. The Tories had a huge majority, new voters but allowed the Remainer coup to ruin the party. Make no mistake, this all goes back to Brexit. Reform are the only choice.
@jackarcher9652 I don’t disagree with that. My point is that instead of enjoying their huge majority, many MP’s threw a tantrum & collaborated to destroy the Tory Party. I can’t see them recovering.
My lovely, local village pub was once home to everyone in the village, from the working man to the country squire. All and anything was discussed over a drink of your choosing, from the price of cabbages to the condition of potholes to who to vote in at the council elections and the general election. All gone now to entertain exclusive cuisine.
Governments have been trying and succeeding in destroying Pubs and Working Mens clubs all of my life , and I am 84. Tax upon Tax , a burden most retiree's cannot afford. How much of the agenda has been pushed by the NHS , with constant claims of cancer , brain shrinkage etc. Speaking as an old guy , what is worse , dying alone and being bored to death , or having a midday pint and and a game of cribbage. That question as most of that type will not be answered.
Interesting interview, especially his views on Gerald Batten. Gerald Batten was a man of the people, the voice of the people when he was leader of UKIP. I joined UKIP after Gerald Batten because I really liked the integrity and open heartedness of Gerald. When Nigel, the media and some people in UKIP stood against Gerald, I stayed. Then when they stood against the new leader Richard, after that, enough of UKIP, and left. A lot of other people left at that time too including people that were running branches.
@@lesleymcconochie9550 Interesting that Gawain Towler has now come out of the wood work. Yes, Gerald is still awesome and he is loved. So is Liz Phillips.
@@gawaintowler Gerald was embracing young men that were and are still fighting to defend our freedom of speech and culture. If Nigel can't say anything nice about Reform voters than he should keep his mouth shut and stop standing against those that defend our freedoms. Many of us were on social media before anyone had heard of Farage. I and others were pushing out his video clips from the EU parliament from 2007 onwards. Those clips were being viewed by people from many different countries including America. There is a much bigger picture. I've been defending freedom of speech on-line for 25 years.
I had some time for Gerald, and I think he was right to support Tommy, speak out against Islamisation and also he made a good point about the nature of the economy that the UK has - what with Labour just favouring the public sector, the Tories just favouring the big multi nationals and no one supporting the small business sector - but unfortunately I departed company when he supported Israel come 7th October.
interesting, it is rare to hear a politician speak so frankly and with integrity. I think this interview should be shown more widely, it might restore people's faith in politics .
