The Queen described as "looking very old" almost 30 years before her demise. Thirty years ago! And Charles too, and he's about to be coronated. Good grief.
Interestingly around 8:00 they talk about Mohammad Fayed. He was the father of Diana’s boyfriend who died in the car wreck about three years after this aired.
Laurie Because he claims he is against the EU on principle. The bloke was in his 40’s here, and very happy with with the Maastricht Treaty with which he now rails against. If Hitchens clarified that he was happy with the Maastricht treaty at the time, but then learnt different that’s fine. But my goodness does he speak down now of Major for taking us into it. But sounds like if we had had Prime Minister Hitchens at the time, he would have done the same thing. Hence, awkward.
@@yington You're quite right. It's not like the facts have changed. It's rather that Peter's sails are so rigged as to be swelled by any passing waft or breeze of crankiness and cant.
Patrick Cockburn seems to frame things more wholesomely and appears to have a better bigger picture by knowing how the system works much so more than Hitchens, things that seem irrelevant to Hitchens, Cockburn relates understandably to other elements.
Yes, Hitchens is just an attack dog. And look at his predictions in this video: the Queen looks old => goes on to live another 30 years. Clinton is imploding => wins second term in a landslide and oversees a booming economy with a budget surplus. Labour is panicking and Tony Blair is surrounded by relics => goes on to win a massive victory in 1997. Peter Hitchens comports himself as the smartest person in the room, but he is not that bright. Edit: What business does America have in interfering in the Northern Ireland peace process => Clinton is instrumental in brokering a peace deal (the Good Friday Agreement) that still holds up today. Peter Hitchens, just stop, you're just an eloquent idiot.
Two journalistic legends. Great stuff.

Anyone else see her hair jump at 6:30?

also the boyfriends uncle was Adnan Khashoggi a prominent arms dealer and promiscuous businessman....
Great to see Patrick Cockburn just stop taking this seriously about 2/3 of the way through.
Hitchens looks quite young there.
Awkward for Hitchens on the EU
26 years ago? How is that awkward?

Blimey I bet when Patrick Cockburn reads a map he can see people waving
