I greatly enjoyed this!! Well done Mark.

Imagine spending your entire life watching everything you know and love being destroyed by the people you used to hang out with, then forty years later the most common question asked of you is, "Why do you seem so sad?"

Peter Hitchens and Roger Scruton are great voices for actual conservatives in the UK, glad you could interview him. Great video!

First camera-angle looks like a police interview room.

Doing the washing up on a Sunday night watching Peter Hitchens wondering why I'm single

Peter has the extraordinary ability to make the other person in the conversation not realise if he's being a twat or whether he's joking. I love it lol

I was there the day Mark uploaded a Peter Hitchens interview. ABSOLUTELY MORAL.

5 mins in, really enjoying this NSO, good job on asking Peter more interesting questions than most

Well done on the interview, more interesting than most, hope it's the first of many more to come.

The sheer virility this man exudes is simply staggering!

Yay! Been looking forward to this.

Great interview NSO and will be boosting this as much as I can to folks, nice work.

Good job mate! I've been looking forward to this all week!

Peter is one of the few enlightened people, worthwhile to be listened and given heed to.

Glad to see everything went ahead fine with the interview! Was more like a Rubin style conversation, which I liked, letting the interviewee speak for themselves and get their thoughts ordered instead of constantly interrupting. Conversation interviews tend to be far more informational, at least for me. Edit: After more viewing, you did tend to stick to your questions, you often waited for him to finish so you could ask the next one. Although I can understand this so you can get through all the questions, it may be better to have less questions but explore more deeply. Still fantastic though!

Well done, great interview. Peter Hitchens cracks me up every time.

Thank you for this. I enjoyed it. More please.

I enjoyed listening to this very much - thank you.

Congrats on landing the interview! I'm sure it was both nerve wracking and rewarding. Maybe try to work out the interviewee's answers prior to the conversation so you can push back and get them to expound on their ideas. Good job. I hope to see more interviews!

>Drinking water instead of a pint of whole milk Absolutely immoral!

"Have you had that misfortune?" "No, unfortunately not" "Well try and keep away" Utterly hilarious and he's not even trying to be. Genuinely believe PH will be held in a similar regard to Chesterton in just a few short decades. The man is on another planet.

Well done Mark, refreshing interview

well done, would enjoy again

Very much enjoyed this. Great Work.

Well done Mark! Quite the catch and very well executed

Haha Peter is a tough man to interview, no bullshit

Well done mark, really interesting conversation between two interesting people.

'Was that a joke making me say that again?'

Thanks Mark, very cool!

Most people that VOTED to Leave the EU have been wanting to do so FOR YEARS.

Glad you didn’t just follow the conventional pattern of a Hitchens interview. Really enjoyed this, cheers Mark.

Congrats on the interview minion mark, brilliance in video format.

First video ive seen of yours. Neat

Maybe you need to teach Sargon a thing or two about audio

Excellent interview.

Subbed, great interview.

When Hitchens says what is wrong with Norway? From 2016-2017, he was against this option, for the same reason that other brexiteers are. Read his columns from then. It’s extremely embarrassing for him, as he now portrays his position as if he’s been *for* the Norway option the whole time. Actually, it looks like his friend Christopher Booker warned him that leaving the single market has big repercussions. And he changed his mind. *fine*. Changing mind is good. But he cannot wave his hands around saying “what’s wrong with the Norway option, why don’t people like it?” When he KNOWS why, because it was his exact position for years. It’s frustrating to watch.

His voice was less like a sharp dog whistle this time, must be Marks spooky Sassanach Magic at work. Great interview tbh my dude, keep it up.

Well done. You're not quite such a minion anymore.

Good job mate!

I really wish this had been much much longer

Great job Mark!

I suspect that I have found myself in a predicament familiar to fans of Peter’s brother Christopher. I loved Christopher even though I disagreed fervently with many of his conclusions he arrived at. In absence of Christopher’s presence I find satisfaction in listening to Peter, with whom I agree on many more topics, but I find myself hearing what I imagine Christopher’s rebuttals to be. Their respective informed resoluteness and supreme fearlessness, so eloquently externalized, vis a vis their stances regarding any given topic have elevated whatever intelligence I might possess. RIP Christopher May God Bless his family, friends and fans.

Wow that's brilliant, looking forward to Peter Hitchens Vs Jordan Peterson!!!!!

Well done Mate!

Great job

Brilliant discussion

chad whole milk, virgin semi-skimmed

had to close my eyes and listen. i kept trying to reach into the screen to straighten peters tie

I love how much like a schoolboy mark looks like in this interview. He's taking in every word of professor Hitchens 😂 Seriously though well done Mark getting this interview

Never seen your content before, and I probably won't stick around for the majority of it. However, I quite enjoyed the interview and bonus clip.

Tracking off a bit, like Mr. Hitchens tie. Could have watched another hour or two, great stuff!

Thank goodness for Hitchens.

Fantastic intellect.

He’s a funny old thing, but always interesting to listen to.

Great interview Mark. Wish it could have been longer and touched on some more controversial topics, but a very enjoyable watch nonetheless.

Absolutely moral

Spread the word far and wide, brothers and sisters: From this day henceforth it is immoral to do up the top button of your blue collar or any other colour collar! *cheering voices in the background*

Peter is still one of the best journalists in England, and obviously he has the huge advantage of being the sibling to one of the most powerful polemicists in the 20-21st C - Christoper Hitchens. It does give him significant leeway and he can get away with faults in logic because we all know he is well educated, well experienced (jobs) and he has lived a long and fruitful life for an academic, then a journalist and finally as a pundit for politics, it's better to listen to him than others yes, I often just put this on while I'm having a coffee, better than junk radio or pseudo-polemic entertainers I call them ;)

Spot on re nationalisation of certain things.

A pleasant interview. PH always a pleasure to listen to whether you agree with him or not. Not sure why he got flustered with the interviewer's use of "equity". It seemed perfectly correct in the context. Can anyone explain?

Good video

Brilliant video nso, but what happnd to the third biscuit question?

Don’t always agree with P Hitchens but he’s a brilliant independent voice in British politics and a decent man.

I would pay a lot for that book with Hitchens' notes.

Loving the dishevelled tie situation 😊

Yes! Finally someone has seen through Jordan Peterson 😄

"Hacked his way through a fog bank with a cutlass," ha-ha- great quote.

This must be the first time i see Peter smiling

Take note Sargon - this is how you produce an interview!

Mr Hitchins is referring to bojo and govey baby, the reason is naked political ambition.

Nice! :D

Hitchens writes for the Daily Mail (on Sunday) that almost had an aneurysm when May's treasonous Brexit proposal was defeated by the biggest majority in parliamentary history... I thoroughly recommend his film, 'This Sceptic Isle' to everyone, but recently it seems, he too has had an aneurysm.

Very interesting! Oh for another Edmund Burke!

a bit of constructive critism i have is that around 20:00 you were introducing a lot of new terms to the conversation without really defining them first. it seems to me that hitchens could've added more before you gave your take. i may be wrong though.

Great

The way he whistles S's is blowing out my ear drums.

Interviewer fundamentally outclassed by interviewee. Many such cases!

3 biscuits into this interview

I agree with Hitchens on Brexit. Sovereignty is the most crucial issue. Extricating ourselves on trade and immigration is best done as you should extricate yourself from a loud pub: one step at a time and with (confident) respect towards the people around you.

Peter Hitchens , has slowly become my hero from zero over the last couple of years.

"My favourite method of doing anything is to destroy the Conservative Party". I like his way of thinking.

Top work matey. keep it up! Looking forward tot he Douglas Murray interview :). Comments On the EU: The reason for the 'extreme' view on the leave side is directly related to the lack of acceptance of the result of the referendum on the remain side. By losing the argument, but still pushing to stay in the EU, the only possible opposition to this is to argue for the 'extreme' no deal option - otherwise, the centre position (e.g. ultimate compromise position) shifts closer to remain. When one side refuses to give ground, the only way to maintain balance is to be uncompromising in the other direction. So moderate leavers HAVE to become hard-line Brexiteers. On Porn Licencing: Hitchins says there is no rational argument against CP - this is incorrect. the argument is that children are not fully developed human beings - neither physically, emotionally or rationally, and involvement in sexual activity is proven to have a detrimental effect on their wellbeing and health for the entirety of their lives. In short, kids need to be protected until they can be functioning adults or they will be broken adults. On Privatization: Wow, I guess that response from Hitchens wasn't entirely unexpected, though I have to say misses the point of privatisation - keeping govt out of running things (which they do very badly). Where I'd agree is that foreign ownership of essential utilities is a very dubious idea. Other than that though, govts should regulate, not 'do'. Incidentally, having watched closely the Blair govt go from wanting diversified energy production, through to foreign-built nuclear plants (and the further narrowing down of the options since 2010) I despair at even basic competence of policy, let alone regulation and action, on the part of govts. On the third Biscuit: Well, you NEARLY managed to ask it...

Where is the third biscuit question?

"xxxx" of eduction has been bad. Could not hear the first word. Can anybody help??

The main problem with the EU argument is that all* the pro-remain arguments relate to trade - something we had before 1993.

Not quite Starling vs Lecter, but similar levels of fearful deference on show ... understandably.

32:41 35:07 best put-downs ever haha

You kinda look like Chivan* from Caspian report.

Sweet mana from heaven.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. You started off very strongly (first question was great), but by the end began to flounder a bit jumping from topic to topic (which happens if the answers take you by surprise). I creased when he described himself as having hacked his way through Jordan Peterson with a cutlass

Only criticism, nothing on the third biscuit!

You was truly privileged to recieve a partial grilling at the hands of Peter Hitchins. Think before you change gear next time.

Can't imagine what the pluses are to staying in the EU.

Get Hitchens and Peterson together for a 3 hour chat!

Maybe I'm just going deaf, but Peter Hitchens often talks in a tone so low I can scarcely understand him.

Throughout the interview, I heard nothing but AA's impression of Mark with a squeaky voice. Nonetheless, congratulations Mark - this was a great scoop!

where is the three biscuit question?

34:58 is where he talks about Jordan Peterson, Douglas Murray

Change has been misconstrued as a virtue by progressives. Change doesn’t occur as a singular event as it creates ripples that alter many other things in a cascade; and this sequence is what routinely appears to surprise progressives, they never seem to anticipate the negative consequences of change for change’s sake. The lack of consequential preparation is why they exist from crisis to crisis, that ALWAYS demands more ‘change’. I agree with the power of positive pessimism. It IS a ward against misery. Interesting interview and insight into the nature of how Hitchens converses on topics. His beliefs may be different, but he reminds me a great deal of his brother.
