    Peter Hitchens has never been a dull listen, though we don't share a great deal of parity in our views. I'm a few decades younger so perhaps my cynicism has yet to undergo it's full marination! His voice however is unquestionably an important one, the introduction didnt do him much justice, he's more than a journalist, he's a polemicist. Whatever you think of him, his patriotism has never been in doubt. Courageous man. This is fast becoming a decent segment on British news, who'd have thought?

      I loved listening to Christopher (NOT Chris please!!!) as well except for his occasional overt vulgar sleezyness. However I am much more at home with Peter's unashamed 'uptightness'. If you look up the debate between the two brothers I thought Peter won convincingly but he cannot compete with Christopher's amazing sense flair and he knew it.

      Farage has been on TV loads of times. He's always challenged from a 'liberal' point of view, and he claims to speak for the people and that his are the authentic popular views.
      Hitchens just presents an analysis that makes sense to him, and from the right - an exposed flank for Farage.

      @@laxeystu8096 Whilst Farage has been on TV loads, his views are rarely challenged and his claims are rarely disputed.
      There are plenty of videos on youtube with Farage saying completely contradictory things which do a far better job of holding him to account than the so called "metropolitan liberal elite" ever did.
