To be fair I think today Peter has in effect been proven pretty spot on.
He was pro Brexit don’t forget, major reason why we are fucked now.
@@Joe-vb4pgmr hitchens didn’t vote nor take part in the referendum.
@@_joebyrne he campaigned for leave
@@Joe-vb4pg, in the 70's (he'd be in his twenties) he said he almost voted for British entry into the then EC, but instead voted against after an article he wrote with some doubts about it was quashed, causing alarm.
Over the years, he became increasingly hostile to the EU (rightly so, I agree with him), but wanted England (or Britain) to leave not via plebiscite, but by an elected parliament on a manifesto.
So no, he didn't take any part in the referendum, even though he wanted out of the EU, because it wasn't the way it should have been done. And he was right. We've left in name only.
@@Joe-vb4pghe did not campaign to leave, he was anti referendum. He had mixed feelings about the European exit
Peter spitting knowledge. These elite fools have no idea what he is even talking about.
Look and listen how they cackle, smirk, laugh, and mock. That airhead is it Suzanne Reid or something, "You're painting a dystopian picture, Peter". Daft privileged cow, hasn't the first clue of this country. Horrible people. Especially Morgan, he's an absolute cretin.
Clowns on this show completely outclassed and outmatched by Peter Hitchens.
Children debating with the only adult in the room. It's embarrassing
Peters economic predictions spot on. Ordering that book now.
And never listening to Dan Snow again.
Too late now. Hitchens even said he's an obituarist for a dead country. "Better I do it than the Chinese" he said recently. 😂 What a legend.
As for Dan Snow, he always been a smug t**t. I'm not saying he can't deliver any compelling history, but he's a knob end for certain.
@@SagaciousFrank LOLLLL
Peter is spot on... self destruct on an industrial level..
_"Let's talk about your book."_
_"Wonderful, have any of you read it?"_
_"No."_
Why would they bring Peter on just to ignore and mock him. They don't dive into any of his points which are incredibly well analysed and thought out because of a ridiculous tv format which I have never understood where people are cut off before saying anything insighful because of made up time constraints.
Peter Hitchens is right
Peter Hitchens did not refer to Dan Snow as a "geezer of slime", he said that in the past he had been targeted "with geysers of slime" - a big difference.
Indeed, unfortunately the rest of them are total smirking retards.
That false comment from Peter's opponents sums up their lack of intelligence.
"He [Hitchens] debates whether or not Britain has lost its greatness with historian Dan Snow."
Debate my ass. Piers and the other fellers were just talking over Hitchens and bringing up irrelevant things. Hitchens was spot on in this.
"We're safer and more prosperous than we've ever been", says the airhead living in the gated community next to Gary Lineker most likely.
I think this interview shows the inability of the British establishment to recognise its own failures. While Peter is perhaps too negative in his assessment of modern Britain, the inability of the GMB people and Dan to even conceive of Britain in a state of decline is quite breath taking.
Perhaps Peter should of mentioned the potentials Britain could of had if it had the money and prestige after WW2. For example,
- an independent space program
- a healthy car industry similar to France or Germany
- Not joining the EU
- an independent nuclear weapons program with ICMBs and advanced nuclear bombers
- a far stronger navy with global influence
- high speed electric rail
- nuclear power capabilities similar to France
- a huge array of strategic military bases in Singapore, Malta, West Africa etc, - independent foreign policy without the consent of Washington.
I could go on...
Peter is correct
I totally agree with peter Hitchins hese a clever man who knows what hese talking about . Unlike morgan and reed who shout over people who dont agree with their way of thinking
I write from 2023. What P.H said is not remotely similar to what Trump, Erdogan etc say and believe. Dan Snow was terrible here and I like what he has covered for the BBC.
I have thought about leaving Britain for somewhere else in the world. I love Britain too much to leave it.
Smooth brain Dan Snow.
Dan Snow married a Grosvenor heiress lol
The look on his face at 4:36 is just pure pain. When people just talk right over you...
Suzanna Reid is only put on this earth for 1 thing. To satisfy man. Nothing else.
She is annoying and stupid
Susannah and Dan Snow typical wokey London types. Peter Hitchens is spot on.
Never seen a man more talked over and lied about to his face about his own book that none of them have reach such as Peter endured in this interview. He doesn't want a return to the past, his book is simply about what mistakes we've made and what we ought to have done instead throughout the years.
Five word:
Yes of course it has!
PH the only one here with any actual insight, the rest can't or won't see the obvious decline of GB.
Hitchens talks a lot of sense. I wish he was wrong - and he does. There is much to celebrate - but so much under threat.
"Under threat " that's an understatement!
Dan Snow is appalling here
Peter proven right
That implies it was previously great
Another example of clueless TV hosts like Reid and Morgan being far removed from reality journalism.
Hes right and its no better 5 years on
I don’t always agree with Peter Hitchens but I do agree with him to a point, Britain was never perfect and while some things have gotten better many things have gotten worse so Britain has lost some of its greatness to an extent.
🇬🇧
I often agree with peirce but this country is in ruins
Definitely not healthier either lol
We have great foodbanks you three clowns
. Peter not included.
Geezers of slime 😅😅
Does Dan Snow know anything?
3 clowns and 1 with tremendous foresight, guess who’s who
Are people aware of the real origin of the name "Great Britain" ? It has NOTHING to do with being great - it is a geographical term !! It is called Great Britain as in Big Britain, as opposed to Brittany in France, which is smaller
Yes, it's a geographical term. Well done, professor. 👏🏻 Now, what's your point?
@@SagaciousFrank The logic of it, FatuousFrank, is that the argument about whether Britain is "great" or not is simply nonsense, because it is comparatively larger than Brittany and a loss of religion, culture or global power does not reduce its landmass.
Absolute shills vs peter
It's sad that these old tories want to go back to Empire to make Britain "great" again 🤮 🤢
Dan Snow triggering and destroying Peter Hitchens - so entertaining.
No he didn't, he hadn't even read his book. They brought him on to harangue him.
Lol
Really!!! 😅
Good Morning Britain are government mouth pieces
What video was that.. as its not this one 😅
