Bombs at France game and shooting on 09:16 - Nov 18 by BrianMcCarthy
Most revealing interview I've seen or heard on the subject.
He loves himself, does Fisk, but he knows his onions.
Yeah, but never mind. He visited Oz in 2006, pushing his book "The Great War For Civilisation', and he made a big deal of being an obvious Westerner living in the Middle East and able to speak the local languages. It meant that he could understand what people thought they were saying about him behind his back, and get a picture of how the West was perceived there.
That got me so much I had to buy the book. A really good read!

It's a great book. I've read it. Slowly!

Did you manage to watch QT ?. If we ever needed to witness why politicians should never be allowed to air their political views, that was it.
I do not always agree with left wingers, but the guy from Al Jazeera TV put the Tory Thatcher clone in her place when she was going on about ISIS beheading people. He discussed Britains allies Saudi Arabia beheads people. We all now the value of friendship £ $.

Great work Mr Niel, someone at the BBC with some guts. Fromlast nights 'This week.'
I fear the bien-pensant Tristrams at Al Beeb will be having a conniption over their lattes this morning and planning revenge.
Fully expect Andrew Neil to be hanging by the nipples , A man called horse style, from the beams of Charlotte Moores Office by lunchtime.
p, s not to sure about Daft punk though Andrew, they havent been any good since 1997.

Ha! Superb!
He's normally not my cup of scald but I love that. Had a touch of the Clive James about it. And thankfully lacking in faux-sentimentality. Just hard-hitting opinion.
It's been a week when Paris was remembered but Beirut was ignored, a week when politicians trampled over the graves of the dead to plant their own flags of convenience, a week when a Parisian dog was lauded all over facebook as a hero, a week when everybody, absolutely everybody was right. All the time.
O' Neill's two minutes will stand out as a highlight.
