Interesting interview - it is incredibly spicy at points. Both of them lost their cool at several points here and I don't think either of them come out sounding good.

For what it's worth I think Hallam's spiel about acting emotionally instead of using critical thinking sounds pretty suspect but clearly he's found this an effective line to take when campaigning.

Yes he's a journalist, a journalist of politics. He has held and still holds very senior roles in political reporting, and with it significant influence on the political conversation of this country, much more than the average person. He's not a politician but he is in politics.

OK can you expand on that a little? Are you saying that, as a matter of principle, journalists should be threatened with prosecution if they don't agree with your politics?

Sorry I'm just not quite clear what the underlying principle is of what you're saying.

I'm not and frankly I don't think you've posted this in good faith

What's with everyone saying, "you're not posting in good faith" when they want to avoid explaining their comments?

Anyway, that's cool, I just wanted to understand your reasoning a little more bit but if you don't want to engage that's also fine.

Have a good one ๐Ÿ‘.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
