he had boulton over big time and campbell was loving it. boulton can`t really mix it with the big boys. am not a big campbell fan but got to give him respect for the way he schooled boulton.
Love it. Boulton is so up himself he was already half way to a hissy fit when the interviewer bypassed him at the intro. Swaying from side to side, finger pointing and then Campbell slipped the dagger in with "Calm down".... straight out of that film Anger Management.
Boulton's ego couldn't take that he wasn't introduced alongside Campbell by Jeremy DooDah, if Sky had any integrity (laughing as I typed that) they would've sacked Boulton but I bet they were all whooping and slapping each other on the back in the news room.
I’m no fan of Campbell at all.....but Boulton made a fool of himself that day. Maybe something had happened between them before the camera started rolling but Campbell definitely came off better here, controlled and measured whereas Boulton looked ready to implode.
This is Sky in a nutshell, arrogant journalism. Adam Boulton is an opinionated baboon and yet is supposed to be a top flight political journalist. Regardless of what Alastair Campbell, he's entitled to his opinion, the job of Boulton is to question that opinion for the benefit of the audience and not berate the guest with their own agenda. Awful news channel.
I remember the mood in 2010, and how weird it was in hindsight, that the idea of the two more progressive parties forming a coalition in the event of a hung parliament would somehow be a democratic outrage from many journalists. 20 years of majority governments has eroded people's understanding of how parliament's work, as in virtually all parliaments, across all modern history.
It would cause a democratic outrage because both parties lost the election and even a coalition of the two wouldn't have resulted in a parliamentary majority.

" the idea of the two more progressive parties forming a coalition in the event of a hung parliament would somehow be a democratic outrage from many journalists." I don't remember this being the issue at all - the issue was that a labour + lib dem + SDLP + green + plaid cymru coalition, all for the prospect of a working majority of ONE, seemed comical. Would've collapsed within a year
I'm someone who listens to Alastair and Rory's podcast now and loved The Thick of It as a teen. I just now found out Malcolm was based on Alastair Campbell and that blew my mind so now I'm actively looking at videos of him Tuckering people.
Both Liberal Democrats and Labour must have wished they had formed a coalition. Tories completely threw the Lib Dems popularity under the bus. Lib/Lab coalition would have been backed up by 15m votes, compared to the Tories 10m, so they had reasonable grounds to work together and form a coalition. Sadly, the Lib Dems took another path, at the cost to the country and their party.
Boulton trying to ask and answer the questions....Campbell is so shrewd....was able to flip a legitimate question on Brown's untenable position to make it look like Boulton had an agenda.
Boulton is right, but Campbell is a better debater. This just shows how even bad ideas can be made to seem palatable by a skilled enough debater. And the converse is also true, good ideas can be made to sound bad by a lack of skill in a debate.
Bell end Boulton, unelected. Never had a proper job and we have to listen to his diatribe. At least campbell had a job in government. Not that he did it with any sense of honour
@@agt155 Yes, that was all indeed very sad. Politics is at best poison. In life that has to be some forgiveness. I do not know how Aliaster Campbell feels about it now. I cannot speak for him. Maybe it is one of the reasons he so supports suicide prevention. Thanks for your comment though.

I would say it was the best thing that ever happened…I know the Tories have messed things up now, but God help the U.K. if Starmmer and his woke brigade get into government…especially the south of England.
It's funny how such a big deal all of this felt back then, small change compared to the irreversible facture and chaos which would go on to define British politics just a few years later.
Adam Boulton threw a tantrum Very unprofessional and childish Campbell is not a nice person. No matter how provoked Adam felt, he should have kept calm. His prestige is gone after this.
And yet he still remains at Sky News?! Only a few weeks ago he was filmed acting like a bully and a total idiot to another collegue. The man is a liability and should have been sacked long ago.
04:47 reminded me of the Fawlty Towers scene where the “s-th-poooons” guy is shouting at Basil in front of the guests and Basil starts laughing to pass it off 🤣
Wow. Adam Boulton was a big baby and his showed his lack of political awareness. There was nothing controversial in what Campbell was saying...those were the legitimate options on the table.
Alistair Campbell accusing the Tories of devious support from the tabloids - when his place in Labour was securing the tabloids of Murdoch to their election success is a bit rich.
negative growth, the lost of our AAA rating, austerity, failed expensive welfare reform, huge increase in house prices, Brexit, failed NHS restructuring
I don't like Alistair Campbell but that's some skill in keeping calm and riling Boulton to make him react like a toddler having a tantrum
Ive just seen someone get tuckered in real life
Haha, absolutely! :)
Exactly what i was thinking as i was watching it 😂

Boulton demonstrated an acute lack of professionalism with this debacle. Moreover, live on TV!
A regular Steve Fleming 😆
To be fair he said as much himself about this incident later
I’m no fan of Campbell at all.....but Boulton made a fool of himself that day. Maybe something had happened between them before the camera started rolling but Campbell definitely came off better here, controlled and measured whereas Boulton looked ready to implode.
If only the public had the slightest inkling of what they were about to get.........
Still one of the funniest political clips of all time, something I come back to occasionally when I need cheering.
Here here.
It would have been even funnier if he had knocked Campbell out.
Once a year at least. I just have to
The start of the $hit-show that is 10+ years of Tory shambolic rule.

Adam, calm down! I like the way Alastair said that.
Boulton as pissed as a fart!
I remember a newspaper columnist at the time refering to this as 'Raging Boul' which made me chuckle.
I challenge people to watch this and not think of The Thick of It.

I love how Boulton turns into Zippy when he gets angry 😂

He was drunk
Adam Boulton reminded me of a drink businessman arguing over a taxi at a train station.
Well he certainly looks and sounds pissed most of the time!
🤡
4:37 Love Campbell's reaction with his mouth twisting. Boulton is just a buffoon and has been schooled yet again.
Two bell-ends but the Psychopath holds his cool longest.

Psychopathy always wins over psychosis.
@@ivorbiggun710 Psychopaths play game, and this is what Campbell is doing, and generally they enjoy to play the game.
Psychopathy always wins over anger and rage too.
Only time i'd give Blairs spin doctor a standing ovation. Fat boy Boulton was well and truly triggered lol
Unlucky Boulton. Got mugged off proper here 😂
Boulton blubber-blabber-mouth, frothing and freaking out. Love it. Campbell pocketed him.

He’s a fantastic liar and spin doctor that’s for sure

Brilliant ! Campbell throws out the bait and, Boulton’s massive ego snaps it up like a kipper 🤣😂🤣 love it !!!!
What a fool Adam Boulton is . Lost all control.
Boulton is right, but Campbell is a better debater. This just shows how even bad ideas can be made to seem palatable by a skilled enough debater. And the converse is also true, good ideas can be made to sound bad by a lack of skill in a debate.
This is great wording. Thanks have a good day 😊

Boulton lost the plot here
‘Don’t tell me what I think’. 😡🇬🇧
