  1. Pax­man gets so pwned by Black in this inter­view, that a few times, I thought Pax­man might start cry­ing like a lit­tle Eng­lish schoolboy.

  2. Michael Stuart says:

    I just changed my mind. Pre­vi­ously, I’d imag­ined the super­power I most wanted was to stop time.

    Now, the super­power I most want is to speak extem­po­ra­ne­ously as pow­er­fully as Con­rad Black.

    He reminds me very much of Nigel Farage, the co-founder and mem­ber of the UKIP (UK Inde­pen­dence Party). Farage’s youtube clips exco­ri­at­ing the petty tyrants of the EU par­lia­ment of whores are leg­endary. The other co-founder, Lord Christo­pher Mon­ck­ton, is a close sec­ond. Lis­ten­ing to either one is akin to see­ing a lash­ing by a cat-o’-nine-tails.

  3. That…was aston­ish­ing. Thanks for post­ing it oth­er­wise I would have missed out entirely. A fas­ci­nat­ing indi­vid­ual. I don’t believe I have ever encoun­tered a per­son who was at once so artic­u­late and rudely obnoxious.

    This is gold. Pure gold. Pre­cisely because it is true. It’s nice to see there are a few peo­ple with back­bones left in this world. (I’m talk­ing about Con­rad, not the interviewer)
