I've never heard of Tom Bowers but that was excellent and great fun. His character assessments are first class and surprisingly often match my own. Harry had to leave the Army because he wasn't mentally equipped for promotion - priceless.
that was excellent, I could have listened to Tom all day, great thing about GB news and nigels show in particular is that it has all kinds of interesting people on .
Great interview. I never heard of Tom Bower until I heard about his book Revenge about Megan Markle. Nigel Farage of course I love listening to him on American TV he is the best.
What an excellent interview! It was a lot of fun....and I learnt a lot! Thanks Nigel, and Tom Bower, any chance Mr. Bower could be appointed to run the Beeb?!
In America Tom Bowers book seems to be banned - is this correct? This is the same type of censuring of books that happened in Nazi Germany. It is truly shocking that sections of society are now being protected in countries in the West. People in the protected categories can do what they like and not be accountable. 1984 has arrived.
I feel like I want to read those biographies now, Mr Bower is a probing biographer, obsessed with the truth in a way modern journalists have forgotten.
@@REwing In all aspects of public life it is very rare to find someone who just speaks from the heart. Everyone seems to be promoting themselves or their product.

@@kln58cub Interesting. Are they still trying to maintain the illusion that this prestige/money hungry couple are the 'victims' of a harsh and unfeeling monarchy? Congratulations on finding a copy.
Absolutely fascinating interview - I've read many of Tom Bower's books and his "Branson - Behind The Mask" is especially interesting. p.s Loving the new studio with the panoramic views of The Thames and the Houses of Parliament. Superb!
And it should be the job of a public broadcasting company to cover events and ceremonies of national significance. Yet there was no coverage at all by the BBC of the Anzac Day ceremony at the Cenotaph on Monday 25th April this year. Prince William laid a wreath to honour the 46,000 Australian and New Zealand soldiers who died at Gallipoli in 1915. The only UK news channel which did show live footage of the event was GB News. The BBC did not even bother sending a camera to record this national event, which shows how little respect they have for the history of this country and the sacrifices made by our allies, and also shows how little regard they have for the members of the public who pay their wages.
Yes I am forever astounded at the numbers of young men joining the armed forces. The general public give them no credit for their sacrifices and the BBC surely don't. Please SCRAP the BBC ASAP. What a waste of public money.
@@mariecarton8611 I totally agree with you Marie. The Anti British Broadcasting Corporation. John Logie Baird will be spinning in his grave at the total shut down of Freedom of Speech and open debate.
Totally agree. She's only been fascinating in the kind of "awful accident but you can't look away" manner. She might not ditch Harry *yet*, but just in the 10 days since this interview aired, she's had her 'Pearl' self-aggrandising project (allegedly in the pipeline since before she married Harry 4 years ago) cancelled, the Spotify podcast for which she's only released a teaser that's already promised to be a preachy 'snorefest' as someone described it, looks increasingly like it'll go the same road as their Netflix non-appearing projects, Disney don't want her back after the Elephants giant flop [pun intended]... And at the other side of the marble table used to prop up her laptop on and amid stacks of unsold copies of The Bench... BetterUp coaches and staff are mutinying over the ChImpO's role, since he's apparently being paid megabucks for being an unskilled and unqualified figurehead while the employees doing the real work are being stiffed and made to tighten their belts... Meanwhile, in a reverse metaphor, they're like a drop of detergent falling on a greasy surface, generating ever-widening circles of empty space, where A-listers are concerned the crickets are getting louder among the tumbleweed. I've read their neighbours in Montecito don't ever see them (instead of them being 'very much part of the local community' as they smugly claim) but are up in arms about the unwanted attention drawn to their previously-quiet community by the latest headline-grabbing antics of the Faux Royals, as well as the mess left by their dogs since they seem to believe in the existence of that notorious Dog Poo Fairy... It's Merchie and Invisibet I feel sorry for. Their parents deserve everything they get. Preferably thrown at them.
Cannot wait for Tom Bower's book. Hope he addresses the eye gluing, yaght girl days and why she lived with her father. People have been silenced or paid off!
Very interesting guest. Never heard of him but obviously a real journalist. I do like being introduced to people of intelligence who are allowed to talk freely.
Am I the only person who remembers ‘voter apathy’ i.e. the worst ‘turn outs’ to vote due to lack of an alternative? That’s how blair won three elections. He wasn’t successful, everything he touched turned to - you know what.
There still hasn't been an Alternative. I Love Blair and Farage, both politicians with actual philosophies and the charisma to pull them off, hence why both are so hated. The Two put together would make a Great PM.
I loved The Rebel Prince and the one on Jeremy Corbyn. I started the one on Boris but found him such a busy person I had to put it on one side. Will start it again after Revenge. Thank you Tom.
Neither was Charles. He captained a ship that cut through a transatlantic cable. He left straight after the incident was made public. Anyone else would have been court-martialed.
Hum. Re Harry: I was born and brought up in the tropics (English father was civil engineer so we moved a bit) and my mother being Australian, we ended up as adults here. Okay, good weather throughout our lives, and in Australia, plenty of opportunity for sailing, surfing and whatnot. Also in winter, skiing and winter sports. Well, dang me if Harry is happy to be in California! I know what warm temperate climate, sea, etc. and in his case more than enough money, can mean for a relaxed and comfortable life but anyone as grim faced as Harry Mountbatten Windsor in such conditions i have yet to see!
He is upset he hasn't managed to destroy his brother and the Monarchy. That was end game for marrying the mattress actress and it doesn't seem to be giving the result intended. He is gay/ bisexual and she is on the same spectrum so they must be well matched. Can't see them ever finding this combination in anyone else.
Im korean and i have nothing to do with the royal family, but im seriously considering buying his next book on meghan, because i find her audacity is astounding and the magnitude of her narcissism, staggering. Quite fascinating.
There are just not enough Tom Bowers in our world, his biographies have been at the top of my reading list for years and taught me things about their subjects that I’d never have otherwise known. For instance, from the truth surrounding Maxwell from origins in a dirt poor peasant backwater in the pre-war Soviet East, to Branson and his illegal first business, dodging the HMRC. The bio of Bernie Ecclestone surprised me, as at the time, I thought that he must have been the only subject of Tom Bower who contributed. I haven’t read Cowell’s. To be sued for Libel, the complainant has to prove that what is claimed is untrue!
Anna, think logically about it. Would any author writing a biography say anything defamotory about their subject prior to publication, risking a court order to halt publication and distribution? I'm not saying that is what is happening here, only that it is worth considering.
Tom not giving much away if I was Megaliar I’d be very afraid of what he’s found out and what he’s going to write. He’s not saying a lot so that tells me the book will speaks for its self. I can’t wait for this book.
'Harry wasn't clever enough to be promoted' (in the Army). I think we might have guessed that. Although I was surprised that the Army still didn't promote him somehow.
There's 'narcissists' and there's narcisstic personality disorder which is of a different genus. I don't have any sense that TB has got the nub of Markle and Harry's essential misery.
@@greyfriars6540 Also from the Thatcher years, Social Housing. Poll tax, now rates, paid by all householders, before house owners, if you rented, it was part of the rent.selling off Water. Gas, Electricity, Marble Arch, bailing out the banks ( Banks still paying out annual bonuses) I always thought bonuses were paid out for doing an excellent job). What did the taxpayers get out of it. Still not getting any interest on savings. NHS eye tests, spectacles, hearing tests. Hearing aids. Doctor's Surgeries, ( We've seen the result of that). I'm suspicious of Pharmacies. Boots Chemist has gone. Post Office. ( Price of stamps hiked just prior to sell off).So much is slipped into our everyday lives. that we don't know about.
Bower is right regarding Harry in the military. People forget and a Labour MP got (unfairly) crticised by mentioning the fact back then that Harry was paraded in the media as some war hero when in reality he never saw front line battle and had failed his helicopter pilot exam four times!
You need to join the MARCH scrap the BBC asap before there is an outrage of dissent in the country. Disgraceful. BOYCOTT the license fee too and hide your TV .
The BBC is like most UK institutions these days. The NHS is so risk averse those of us at the coal face have been forced into the straight jacket of immobility from a desperately top heavy management
So glad Tom Bowers stood up for the truth when that silly male announcer on Good Morning Britain claimed Markle was a famous Hollywood actress. The hussy never made it in Hollywood. She was a minor character on a Canadian cable TV show.
These guys are enjoying each other's company ! I get that ! So much fun........I expect Bower had an offer he could not refuse, getting the nitty gritty out of MM before Harry's book came out. It is what we call pre-emptive damage control. Well done, Sir, the whole world is enjoying your findings.......and we are behind you, all the way ! Finesse appreciated......and respect ! Yahoo.......Love it ! Thank you for your " masterpiece " !!!!
I do like Tom Bower and with Farage he was excellent.
Yes, a meeting of two very sharp and perceptive minds. Very enjoyable.
Loved it.
Me too. Brilliant interview - Nigel is such a great interviewer and Tom Bower was so interesting
Yes, I agree.
Fascinating interview. Nigel is the best!
I've never heard of Tom Bowers but that was excellent and great fun. His character assessments are first class and surprisingly often match my own. Harry had to leave the Army because he wasn't mentally equipped for promotion - priceless.
He’s dropped some REAL bombshell about Markle!
that was excellent, I could have listened to Tom all day, great thing about GB news and nigels show in particular is that it has all kinds of interesting people on .
Yes that is good and people are waking up to the fact that the power of truth is greater than the power of lies. Perfect.
I could listen to these two talk for hours.
Nigel, you are the BEST interviewer ever
What about MICHAEL PARKINSON he was an excellent interviewer
Great interview. I never heard of Tom Bower until I heard about his book Revenge about Megan Markle. Nigel Farage of course I love listening to him on American TV he is the best.
What an excellent interview! It was a lot of fun....and I learnt a lot! Thanks Nigel, and Tom Bower, any chance Mr. Bower could be appointed to run the Beeb?!
Great interview,Tom gives a no nonsense interview with no sacred cows,brilliant.
Why is Tom not on every tv channel every day? Fascinating man. So many stories. Very entertaining.
FANTASTIC SHOW
Bullshit show how about that?
My fave time of the day too Nige. Keep up the good work!
U too
HOWgreat to have Tom Bowers and Nigel together Riviting
Its refreshing hearing a knowledgeable man call it like it is. No sugar coating hard facts.
Really interesting interview & man is Tom. Gripped by his knowledge & intrigue. Could listen to him for hours.
Brilliant conversation.
Bring Tom back for a second round...
Tom Bower - what an interesting man! Fabulous interview!!! Can't wait to buy Tom's book!!!

Never heard of Tom Bowers??? You have to be an American.
I would read a book about Markle by this man. He talks honestly and i think what he writes would be true.
Brilliant minds 👏👏👏👏
Brilliant 🇬🇧💯👌👏👏
LOVE LOVE LOVE NIGEL FARAGE! Only reason why I'm subscribed.
Loved the interview & became almost instantly hooked on Tom Bower.
Can’t wait purchase this books! He obvious does his ‘homework’ very well👍🏻
Love Nigel Farage he’s so honest and sincere, and Tom Bower very fascinating man
I really enjoyed that. Fascinating. Farage is a cut above the rest in his ideas and originality in getting this programme going.
Can’t wait for book on Markle’s past 😂
I disagree with Tom Bowers comments on Markle, she hasnt made herself a global superstar, she has made herself a global clown!!!!😂😂😂😂
Spot on! 100% agree
Absolutely ! 🇬🇧

Best line: “I mean, Fyad was an unbelievable piece of cake.” 😂
Please write books on bill gates george Soros and klaus schwab! 😊
The dangerous trio
And Obama
Top interview. Both interviewer and interviewee articulate and interesting. Relaxed, informative and entertaining.
Love Tom Bower - His book on Al Fayad is an awesome read.
Just to say, Fayed was not entitled to an honorific, his name was just Mohammed Fayad. Not "al". He called himself that but he wasn't entitled to it.
Am I the only person who remembers ‘voter apathy’ i.e. the worst ‘turn outs’ to vote due to lack of an alternative? That’s how blair won three elections. He wasn’t successful, everything he touched turned to - you know what.
I am not British but I admired Tony Blair. The pity was that Bush was the American President and had a great hand in misleasing everyone.
In situations like this with very low turnout there should be a cabinet secret vote to appoint a caretaker
I agree with this chap, Blair WAS a catastrophe on the UK, I could mention a few things ,but the list is endless.
There still hasn't been an Alternative. I Love Blair and Farage, both politicians with actual philosophies and the charisma to pull them off, hence why both are so hated. The Two put together would make a Great PM.
@@thegoodpimps you love blair? You should do some research - FAST.
Oh I can't wait for his book. Always excellent work.
I loved The Rebel Prince and the one on Jeremy Corbyn. I started the one on Boris but found him such a busy person I had to put it on one side. Will start it again after Revenge. Thank you Tom.
A great interview. If you put an interesting person in front of Nigel, you will get some excellent incites.
Could have been longer
Tom Bower is a ⭐️ star.
Will buy that book!
Truest words ever spoken..Harry wasn't clever enough to be promoted so couldn't stay in the Army.
Neither was Charles. He captained a ship that cut through a transatlantic cable. He left straight after the incident was made public. Anyone else would have been court-martialed.
This was a great interview

Meghan and Harry better watch out when Tom Bowers, the investigative journalist, is about. Like the title too - REVENGE
Excellent interview ..
If Tom bowers book is going to be praising the Harkle woman then I hope nobody buys the book and its a complete failure!!
I don't think he will cover for her LIES so should be very interesting !
I'm guessing you've never read any of TB work...
Anna, think logically about it. Would any author writing a biography say anything defamotory about their subject prior to publication, risking a court order to halt publication and distribution? I'm not saying that is what is happening here, only that it is worth considering.
His not praising Meghan he's trying not to give any details away , remember he didn't even talk about when the book will be release
Andrew Morton wrote her 1st hagiography and she wrote the 2nd. This book will be much closer to the truth than anyone has published.
Love tom bower 🕊👏👏👏👏👏
I love these two!
Nigel, Please more people of substance, i.e. Mr. Bower, and less of the ex 3 page women, who will do anything for a few £££
Excellent interview.
Mr Bowers is a fascinating man,make him the head of the BBC.
Excellent Talking Pints!
Tom not giving much away if I was Megaliar I’d be very afraid of what he’s found out and what he’s going to write. He’s not saying a lot so that tells me the book will speaks for its self. I can’t wait for this book.
I completely disagree that there is nothing wrong with being a narcissist. Completely.
Thank you Tom
Bower could be made a Saint if he does his job!
Tony Blair, wouldn't read his greasy slimes, lies, in a autobiography, can't stand the man !!!
I’d love a Tom Bower autobiography!
Don't bother suing Mr Bower, Megraine! 😁
loved TB biography of Maxwell
Part 2 please?
'Harry wasn't clever enough to be promoted' (in the Army). I think we might have guessed that. Although I was surprised that the Army still didn't promote him somehow.

Blair made mistakes, sure - but the Tories have had years to deal to it and have failed to do so - armed forces, NHS, immigration.. ...
Made mistakes for sure.… That’s understatement of the century isn’t it.

Are you kidding? His comments about Blair, Fayed, Maxwell, Prince Charles were fascinating and insightful.
A global star!
What a very interesting man. Watch out Markle.
I like this chap🤔
Ha! Ha! Fur and feather folk together with these two.
Tom Bower's loyalty to the B.B.C is admirable but misplaced.
