- Mayor of London, Boris Johnson appeared on the Andrew Marr Show expecting the usual safe PR interview and received the complete opposite from Marr's stand-in host, Eddie Mair.
Enjoy, comment and subscribe. :)
"I haven't seen the documentary."
"This happened in your life, you know about it..." 😂
"You're a nasty piece of work, aren't you?" Classic. Well done. BBC at its best.
Hear, hear. I love Eddie Mair's interviewing style and well-chosen comments. Miss him on Radio 4.
"You are nasty piece of work, aren't you?" God I love British people.
Just a pity that those of us with this opinion of Johnson weren't in the majority last week.
A line by LBC’s Steve Allen
So do I
He surely is!
By love he means fuckin ?
How he ever made it to PM is astonishing. Rattled and dumbstruck by a few simple questions regarding his integrity and trustworthiness yet he still makes it to the highest office. Incredible really.
0'08" "Stop interrupting" LOL
Eddie Mair is class!
Just brilliant
Had to rewind to make sure my ears were hearing correctly. 🤣
The lack of reaction to being told with pinpoint accuracy that he's a nasty piece of work, the attempt to refocus the interview on what people want to hear (what he wants them to hear he means, not the truth about him) are telling. One of the great interviews.
The man's a psychopath. He can't even be truthful or honourable to his own family and wife, so his even greater contempt and lack of any compassion for the country must be far worse.
Spot on.
Johnson did not even have the decency, to finsh his role as Mayor, before he gained a safe, seat in Uxbridge. He done nothing for the majority of Londoners, apart from allowing many skyscrapers, filled with expensive luxury apartments to be built.
Eddie Mair is brilliant , Paxman , has nothing on him . The BBC should definitely be asking why he has not been their lead for interviewing politicians . I’ve never seen Andrew Marr be so sharp and poignant in his interviews . Well done Mr Mair 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
and you are an ignorant tosspot
Politicians wouldn't agree to it. They want soft ball questions. Not having their balls held to the fire.
And the above reply shows, some dont want politicians to be challenged just want them to kiss their arse
Well, I've got a lot of admiration for the man, and I think he'd make an excellent Prime Minister. Possibly the best we'll ever have.
I'm talking about Eddie Mair, by the way...
Love your comment BTTB. Totally agree. Eddie Mair has intellect and incisiveness, spiced with great humour, all of which are sadly lacking in the current government. Miss him badly on PM.
Great!
Weak and wishywashy keeps changing like the weather, not a good speecher, his minds elsewhere in this interview.
It was probably the start of the end of his BBC career too...sadly. Miss PM on R4.
BackToTheBlues do you still have admiration for him?
2018 and he's still the same charlatan as he was back then!!! Go on Eddie, we need more like you 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
2019 and he's still the same charlatan...
Paul Richard 2020 and he’s still the same charlatan. 😂
@@naveed210 and will be the same in 2021... actually, I think he's added lazy to his repertoire and arguably gotten worse since 2019..!
Toks Osibogun Tim Walker worked with Johnson at The Telegraph and says when we’re told by RW press that Johnson’s working hard to beat corona, to not believe it for 1 second. He says Johnson’s the laziest guy he’s ever worked with.
Sonia Purnell recalls that Johnson paraded round London to cut ribbons when he was Mayor and the real work was done by his assistant’s.
@@naveed210 and that doesn't even begin to describe him. Zero integrity, zero leadership qualities and a habitual liar who betrays anyone close to him. Zero respect from me, he's a complete waster.
Eddie Mair 1 . Boris Johnson 0
Eddie Mair 2. Boris Johnson 0.
Watching this March 2023 after he was ousted as PM and just after the Partygate select committee . The tactics Johnston tries to use are pretty much identical, i.e try to rubbish the interviewers questions or to make light of any accusations put before him, then when that doesn't work, try to steer the conversation to another subject entirely, then finally, get angry and try to take over and dominate the proceedings because he's been found out.
There's nothing worse for the narcissist to be cornerned and have their script of lies they have in their heads exposed and dismantled. 10 years after this interview, the only thing that had changed about him at the select committee was the confident smirk on his face had gone.
Mair saw right through him. A "nasty piece of work" indeed, and the UK's next Prime Minister.
eddie mair is very arrogant! ALTHO IM NOT A FAN OF BORIS
Eddie Mair spot on. Those in public office need more integrity than this!
Shame on every single person who voted blue enabling this horrible specimen to remain as prime minister in the last election.
Eddies ran over him and then backed up over him.
Unbridled savagery. British politics at it's most beautiful
Not the only time he's pulled Boris's pants down either
Watching this now, it seems so tame, when it seemed so extreme at the time. What he has become and what he has done as PM is so much worse than what had gone before.
And interviews like this is why Eddie Mair is no longer with the BBC.
The BBC's loss is LBC's gain!
Top top journalist. Tough questions and not afraid to say it “the way it is”. I wish there were more like Eddie.x
Writing this four days after he has announced his resignation. Thank heavens he is now leaving. The truth was always on display all along thanks to Eddie Mair.
This guy had absolutely no idea just how much worse it was all going to get LOL
This is the best interview ever. Power held to account as it should be.
If you like this, you should check out the Paxman/Howard interview. Required watching.
Here-here
Which is why he's hardly seen on the BBC anymore
Eddie left the BBC to work for LBC for a year before he retired from it.
F*cking love Eddie Mair.
I've been in love with Eddie Mair since I first heard him ... that voice, that intellect, that sense of humour!! Deep sigh!!
It’s amazing seeing him use exactly the same tactics as he does now. “People don’t care about my phone conversations”. Yes they do, you just don’t want them talking about them.
Very proud of Eddie Mair for his absolute demolition of Boris Johnson, there has never, either before or after, been such a complete demolition of a politician as this one of Boris Johnson. Of course, it had to be an interviewer from Scotland who demolished Johnson.
And look how much worse he’s got, even since you wrote this comment!
@@TheScoppie
Ditto!
“A nasty piece of work” should be his political epitaph.
Go get him Eddie... This teddy bear costume is so see through its embaressing... You pitiful people who get caught hook line and sinker by his jovial manner and the occasional "oh crikey!" .... Pure snake ... What sheep you little lemmings are...
7:18
Mair: "I want to talk about you."
Johnson: "That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid."
Watching this in August 2022 and it is unbelievable with all that has happened since this interview, that there are many who still think Mr Johnson should remain as PM! Good grief! They walk amongst us...
His repeat offending egregious obfuscation is very obvious now eh?
It's perfectly believable. The English love the taste of a toff's boot.
June 2023 calling
Watching this in June 2023 makes it even more unbelievable.
We haven't f@@@ng moved since Robin hood.
Funny hearing the guy who begs for wallpaper, describe people as leeches.
Boris: “You’ve got to be careful what you talk about.”
Eddie: “What are you talking about?”
This is timeless
much better interview than the wet lettuce creep Andrew Marr
This happened in your life. So you know about this. Brilliant smack down
To think this corrupt gaslighting absurdity was elected Prime Minister is beyond belief .
This is the scary reality we live in during 2021.
If he was born a poor man without the privileges he has had in life, he would be in prison by now. Possibly a career criminal!
One of the key elements to Mair's success in this interview is where he's sitting in relation to Johnson and the camera.
Eddie Mair, you are the man.
Eddie Mair...we salute you...this is so relevant today...
Boris isnt the cuddly teddy bear he likes everyone to think he is, he is a nasty piece of work, and he is by far the most ambitious politican of our generation. Dont be fooled by his bumbling persona, he is the real life Francis Urquhart.
Yet some people still voted for him
"don't interrupt" "now you can interrupt", "what are you talking about", "You're a nasty piece of work aren't you" Eddie Mair is a legend.
After seeing this specimen wriggling on the hook, who was stupid enough to vote for him?
The Great British Public. They don’t see this as lying, philandering and sleaze. They see it as Boris having character.
Democracy is a terrible thing.
@@attackpatterndelta8949 Yes. If we had democracy, that would be true. Unfortunately it took a minority (43.6%) vote to give the Tories an 80 seat majority. It's called an elective dictatorship, to quote Lord Hailsham.
passing address details to have a jurno beating up. this is the sort of person Johnson is and a very good reason never to trust him with the highest office in the land.
This demonstrates why Johnson should never get the keys to number 10.
Unfortunately it looks like a bunch of blue rinse ladies in Bexhill-on-Sea will make sure this lying, deceitful, slippery, , racist, bigoted, bullish, bullshiting, fornicating tosser is given the keys to #10. If I were Larry the cat I'd find new digs.
bad luck he has been given them.
@@BouncealongInf When are you morans going to stop with this win-lose bullshit?
The opposition should have made sure this interview was viral in the election campaign.
@@grahamariss2111 But the BBC was so proConservative. This was a rarity and Eddie is no longer with them.
Brilliant demolition Eddie Mair. Ruthless. Well done.
And now he's PM! What a complete charlatan.
Boris utilises this sort of posh clown persona to avoid answering uncomfortable questions. Not an easy thing for an intervewer to cut through. Maybe Eddie goes too far, but the questions he's asking are more than valid and he's just trying to get some straight answers. Boris doesn't give straight answers and that must be extremely frustrating when you're trying to interview him.
Tore him a new one. Well done Eddie. One of our very best journalists...
This has turned out to be a perfect prediction of how the awful BJ would perform as Prime Minister - I hope the people of the UK have learned a lesson - the damage he has done in 2.5 dreadful years is immense - sad
And to think, he wanted to be PM into the 2030s.
THIS MAN CANNOT BE OUR NEXT PRIME MINISTER!!!
I'm sorry, did you actually listen to what was said? Politicians have been unseated for FAR smaller scandals. Boris, amongst other things, admits to giving out information to a crony knowing full well that it would result in a journalist being physically assaulted. How is this spurious, exactly? Boris's "inimitable style" consists of stuttering, floundering, chuckling nervously and giving highly evasive answers. Forgive me if I hope for a little better from the people running our country.
I am here after learning of the narcissist's prayer mentioned by O'Brien and this is so UNCANNY.
I didn't do but even if not in the way you are suggesting. If I did it, it wasn't wrong. I did it but I did it with good intentions. Ok, I did it, it was wrong but it was their idea. This happened but not in the way you suggested and I am the actual victim here. Oh, and me and my pals are alright and the ones investigating us are at fault.
We must strike a balance here" meaning don't ask me any tricky questions or I'll never speak to you again.
Is this a man who knows what is actually going on. Do we want him speaking for us on the international stage?
Absolutely not. He had already managed to offend so many people of different ethnicities, cultures, beliefs etc and then as Foreign Secretary his ill-informed words actually increased Nazanin Zaghari - Ratcliffe's sentence in an Iranian jail. Now he is belittling the extent of the suffering of people sexually abused as children. Yet still being touted as a possible next leader of the Tories.
They all knew what this man was, even Tory MP's. He's served his purpose and they want him out now.
Even back then he's seems to think he can tell us what we want to hear. Nobody wants to talk about that, what people want to talk about is this. No Johnson. We DO want to talk about that!
The only time he was challenged, and he fell apart.
How the fuck was he voted in after this? I decided to watch this on the day of the no confidence vote
Because few people watch things like this, and the sort of people that do are labelled part of the "liberal metropolitan elite", a phantom created by the billionaire owned popular media that people DO listen to.
@8.23 - and this man could be our next prime minister? He's a dangerous liability.
Gunna be interesting, rewatching this after his tenure as PM.
Rewatching this after he was forced to resign from the position of prime minister.
Watching this after he jumped from the Tory party and before he was booted out for lying about Partygate whilst my dad died from covid in the first wave. Scum
should have got the news night gig....
He's too real and independent for the Tory Riddled BBC news division.
9:45 “Why should I?” 😂 why should I talk about something I lied about, can’t we blame someone else?
Eddie Mair should be Mayor of London!!!
I hope Emily Maitlis is either reinstated to Newsnight or gets the opportunity to move to a broadcaster which values free speech (Channel 4, for example).
The only success Johnson had during this interview was dodging the last question by talking so much it couldn’t be asked.
I really have to admire how sharp Eddie is here. He makes every other interviewer look so bad. For example the disaster that is Brexit is captured in “misinformed public” being used by politicians.
If all interviews took a stand this charlatans wouldn’t keep getting away with things
Back then, it all seemed so ridiculous and surreal.
Eddie Mair really is a national treasure.
“Look, we’ve got a clip.”
The British public after watching this
"A pathological liar who like a mafia boss condoned in sending a person to a hospital...My god that's PM material over there"
This has aged superbly.
savage interview. love it !!
Eddie Mair is certainly no great supine protoplasmic invertebrate jelly
does anyone remember the help he gave to the British national in an Iranian jail.
A perfect portrait of a sociopathic personality disorder.
No, in fact something very important has been revealed. Boris gets away with a lot of stuff because he's so charming and likeable. He seems genuinely nice. Mair has shown that he's done several things that could only be described as nasty; this has certainly opened my eyes. How can we trust a man who is so convincing at playing the nice guy, but who behind closed doors is a callous and cynical git?
frightening how many people are siding with boris on this. are people really that naive?
Your friend Conrad black “convicted fraudster” 😂
This will be our next PM, something we will not be proud of.
Surely the Tory faithful will choose Hunt over this idiot?
That's not to say Hunt is the right man for the job, he is an appalling human being.
"Are you gunna watch it?"
"Certainly not after what youve told me, no im not gunna watch it."
Perfect for comedy.
The exact opposite for any form of responsibility, let alone pm.
Public...this is on you.
cant anyone here see beyond borris pretending to be an idiot? i would have thought that this video made it pretty clear
This should have been the career to end any kind of public/political career for Bunter Johnson.
What a shame it took until July 2022 for that end to finally come, but not a moment too soon.
2022...and Boris has been prime minister. However, he was forced to resign over being a constant liar and a failure.
Eddie Mair is brilliant. The new Paxo? A razor-sharp, analytical intellect combined with a wonderfully dry sense of humour.
Poor old Boris came out of this looking like a liar and a slippery character. He may be bluff and apparently unstuffy, but just watch the way he avoids giving straight answers.
I like that the title includes 'Vs', like it's in any way a fair fight. Johnson got crushed.
Benefits tourists like MPs?
Why is it that an actual piece of journalism looks out of the ordinary. Democracy anybody?
The list of reasons why this tool shouldnt be PM is endless. Were the Tory membership so blinded by Brexit, that they thought this man was fit and proper to become PM? Madness.
This aged like the finest of wines.🍷👌🏽
Revoke Article 50..
Incredibly poignant interview to this day.
2019, he's our Prime Minister (lord help us). For how long ... we'll see.
@@AH--173 The Queen reigns, not the PM. And it will all end in tears.
He might resign in January 2021
@@applejuice5272 not yet unfortunately.
2022 here. He’s sort of gone. He gave a speech this week where everyone expected him to resign, although he never used the words Resign or Resignation. He also didn’t take responsibility for the mess the country is in, and blamed the Tory party for hounding him out.
He’s a shit.
2023 here. He’s finished in politics after being found lying to the house.
Brilliant Eddie Mair. No mercy for this waste of space.
This just shows what was always known about him and not one tory can deny it or claim ignorance. They still put him in the seat and the rest is history. Trying to deflect questions, change the direction of the questions etc etc. What an embarrassment and the warnings were there as many of us knew. Just others ignored it and made the rest of the country suffer.
The idea we should ignore the government, the IMF, the United States, the World Bank, the Bank of England, the vast majority of mainstream economists, the CBI, the National Farmers' Union, every one of our allies (the list goes on) and support what this buffoon/serial liar thinks about the EU instead is laughable.
Alex Harris thank god why? or we wouldn't have the wonderful situation we have now? 7 months ago, start of the year, still feel so confident/delusional?
@@ironmantooltime All Empires Fall, the EU is falling before it becomes an Empire. A Communist Empire of control. 🖕🇪🇺
Boris would be a sorry excuse for a ball of snot let alone a human being!
I think OWNED is the correct term :).
I think Eddie Mair would be a brilliant Prime Minister! As for Bojo, he is still a self-serving, sanctimonious, power hungry wanker who will, hopefully, never serve as Prime Minister, but wants it so bad he can taste it! 😂
Mair bulletproof against his blustering attempts at charm.
Eddie Mair does him over- if only the bbc and sky and itv held him to account and others like this
