Lord Alan Sugar is a business magnate, politician, author, and media personality. He is well-known as the host of the long-running TV show The Apprentice. At 21 years old, he founded electronics company Amstrad, which he later sold for £125 million. He was also the Chairman of football club Tottenham Hotspur FC for ten years.
ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
I've heard more intelligent questions from primary school children.
Pretty embarrassing this is the current standard at Oxford.
It’s hilarious
God this was dreadful. The host was clearly nervous and almost bullied by Alan. Most the questions from the audience went down like a lead balloon
did we watch the same interview?
Thank you for being this infinite source of inspiration for us, the ones that came from modest upbringings, but also the ones that show undettered determination towards bringing an decisive change to the way technology evolves.
A good example of why you need professionals to interview people. It isn't as easy as it looks.
Really enjoyed Lord Sugar. As Raj Joshi said, brought up from nothing and love his opinion on the wanna stay home and work, plus Government paying out to stay home. I worked as a child in my parents pub and worked up to 73.
Got to say this was a car crash from the person stumbling over his questions, to bang average questions from those in the room and finally to an over assertive guest who didn’t come across how he has in the past.
He was a bit harsh on the first person! wasn’t he?!
The first guy was incoherent. He should think twice before taking question time. Have some damn respect, I mean.
@@JonesNoahT It doesn’t matter! Treating anyone like this is not nice!
This is the problem when you hire based on race/diversity. The black guy was clearly not intelligent, not coherent, lacks communication skills and it showed.
"That's amazing!" 🙄
who is this clown. they got to present
A bit of a car crash.
Good grief he definitely woke up grumpy that day
I can’t believe some students study at Oxford, asking some unthoughtful questions.
Best question of the evening, what makes you laugh. To be fair to a few of the students I think they get tongue tied as Mr Sugar ain’t sweet!
What is he exactly contributing when dismisses being interviewed and most questions. As if his mom forced him to be there
They were obviously stupid questions. This was a better interview than most.
It seems harsh but the questions weren't clear, he's teaching them a harsh reality. In life not everyone will treat you fairly, be concise
@@brainsandbeauty2832 exactly
i felt embarrassed for oxford, lets hope cambridge kids are a bit brighter wow
Sugar.
How'd he get that name?
Grumpy Sugar humiliating Oxford Graduates trying to be clever😝😝😝
56:47 think he was tripping on some serious shit when he saw a Monet in Louvre! 😂 Louvre has works till ~1848. Must have been to Musee d’orsay or Musee de l’orangerie
25:55 great words about healthcare industry. Unfortunately I think the opposite is happening
Lord Sugar is my favorite speaker. I can’t wait for his sixth visit! He is awesome!
That’s amazing
🤣
I thought Alan suger went on dragons den for comic relief
He said he'd never been on dragons den is this an old or new video
What bunch of daft questions from tomorrow’s privileged academics and future leaders. Is that the best they coud do ? Mummy & Daddy will be so proud of them !
Pure arrogance and lack of respect. Why is he a guest?!
He means business and he’s there to teach the members of Union about the tough world of business.
He is a lord. I expect that behavior from British royalty. We are just common peasants.
Donald Trump once claimed that Lord Sugar was a small timer and so low on the economic scale that he did not fit the role on the Apprentice when he was first hired. The one time barrow boy is reported to have received a £390 million dividend last year.
trumps a con man that fooled millions of gullible people to believe what they wanted to hear
Surprised Alan didn't take almost a year to get on the stage he should of done his apprentice slow walk to the stage
Oh my fucking god. Not a single question about entrepreneurship.
Really enjoyed this - the last one Lord Sugar sounded bored, but this one was practically him being a teacher.
Particularly liked:
1. How we swats down the lad who asks if he's worthy of being a Lord.
2. The way he details his opposition to Working From Home culture. Valid IMHO... listened to this while WFH. 😏
3. His surprisingly enlightened views on environmentalism (though not very fleshed out).
4. The question he does a delayed answer to (on the best bit of mentoring advice he's had - from an insightful Headmaster).
One of those few entrepreneurs that really gets the "Giving back" part, and also not even remotely intimidated by being centre stage in the world's best debating arena's.
If only Bezos, Musk, or even Trump had the courage to handle a crowd of students so well...
@Jack Dempsey I'm sure she gives back too. 😉
Think Alan Sugar was good, fair, direct and straight to the point. No buttering up his answers or trying not to hurt people's feelings, he is trying to toughen them up since they are meant to be at one of the best University's in the Country.
Tough but fair!
That’s just it. I don’t understand the hate towards Lord Sugar. He’s done extremely well. There isn’t any genuine respect.
I'm pretty sure he never actually answers a question
10:25 I stopped watching the video. That was so disrespectful shutting down that person without answering the question. I’ve lost a lot of respect for Alan Sugar now, especially since he has an unelected seat in the House of Lords. He should at least answer the brave gentleman who stood up in front of a crowd and asked him a tricky question.
Good for you
i thought he was right to shut him down the kid was talking nonsense , and u could also see he was tired of the boring questions of the tong tied kid on stage with him, i too stopped watching as oxford kids were embarrassing
The guy asking the "tricky question" was throwing out anecdotal evidence, not statistics, facts & names. He was referring to "data" but couldn't expand further than that. This is how it seems to be these days, feelings & emotion over statistical fact & citations. On top of that, he seemed to suggest that billionaires like Sugar should have a moral obligation to fix the economic disparity, guess what, these are what elected governments are for. No fan of Sugar, but I completely understand why the question and the way it was asked, irked him.
He is only in the House of Lords because his rich buddies put the twat their - we should be the ones who vote for that privilege not the rich. That's why this country is so fucked up
The put downs are priceless. The OU should prepare some badges of honour and certificates to hand out at the next one:
"I' was fired by Lord Sugar at the OU for being an incoherent idiot "
Watch nerds which one is he wearing?
Last time I commented on one of your videos lots of people bashed me so let's save time...bash below.
Bash

37:55 the most favourite part
The common sense of this man speaks volumes and that’s why he is soooo successful. Love you Lord Sugar👏👏👏👏👏 has old school values …. Always work what can anyone learn from working from home…. Nothing!!!
Go and brush your tongue. 💩 👅
Hard business man brought up from nothing, no time to be nice and polite. Fair play
Today to many CEO's trying to be everyone's friend and social justice warriors
When will Oxford burn to the ground.
The day you poop fairies.
As someone who manages a team 100% remote I can tell you that it's pretty great and all of my problems come only from people who are either not tech adapted or have low morale. This guy is dealing with low morale. Not to say he's not a talented entrepreneur or salesman, but probably because he is not a good leader and comes of as just a piece of shit person.
It depends on the business
@@JonesNoahT No it depends on the person!!!
Sugar: You know what fixes remote work problems? Me. Breathing down your neck stacking piles of shit on your desk. Micromanaging? You're telling me you can micromanage yourself psht, what do you think I pay your m a n a g e r for?
What poor communication skills these students have.
What an insufferable human being. I've never seen a ruder speaker at the Oxford Union.
He doesn't want to pay tax and is using clever accountants to help him.
This applies to pretty much all people :)
I've enjoyed all of lord Sugar's appearances in the chamber. I especially enjoy his answers to the floors questions.
'that's amazing'- sounds so phony

Alan would like you to work during you’re sleep and weekends.
Interviewer needs good get trained or do his homework on i tnterviewing that was dreadful.Hope this was a learning curve for him.the video suggests poor preparation,it was a moment to sell himself too.Ask questions that arouses intrigue, curiousity,advices,ideas, inspiration etc.Be professional you never know who is watching.
He's either Lord Sugar or Alan, Lord Sugar; not Lord Alan Sugar, which would denote he was the younger son of a Duke or Marquess. The man is as common as muck.
He is more successful in life than you can dream of.
@@mrichards55 Good for him.
@@mrichards55 Now how would you know that? Especially the dream part? hmm
He watches trash TV, finds the recent televised court appearances of Brad & Amber amusing and used the Louvre as a rain shelter. Haha. "You can take the man out of Hackney, But..."
@@chriswinslow He has still made a huge amount of money and lives a very happy life despite not enjoying opera, ballet, fine art, theatre or tennis.
Why is the main host speaking with such a low accent is this really Oxbridge level ? Lol
Alan Sugar why is there no Muslim in your show the winner?
Why there is no Italian, lesbian or a 2 metres tall man winning?
Alan Sugar is quite arrogant! Poor lad who began the questions!
He’s being asked very idiotic questions by people who should know better.
I’m embarrassed this is the state of Oxford.
Alan would like you to work during you’re sleep and weekends.
Just like he does. Business is business, 24/7 :)
