This so called interviewer can't even keep his own hate in check

I will be voting UKIP and donating.

Thank you Talk radio and to Matthew Wright, for this, I have now joined UKIP.

It will be the first time I ever vote and I’m definitely voting UKIP after watching this

Another superb showing by Batten. Matthew was embarrassing.

Matthew Wright argues like a child. Keep it up Mr Batten we have these lying cowards on the run !

I believe UKIP can save Britain if it keeps going in this direction.

W O W....I'm a left leaning liberal and even I can see just how disingenuous Matthew Wright is being here. Gerard Batten comes across well here. I don't think it's far right to be very concerned about Islam or to see that Tommy Robinson is not quite how he is painted.. I read Enemy of the State and if I'd grown up where he did and been treated the way he is I would have felt the same way he does.

This presenter is showing weakness. Stuck in his media gaslighting mode.

Well done Gerard 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

i cant express how much i would love to knockout matthew wright

As a member of UKIP I support the decision of the leader to get advise from Tommy Robinson

I have just joined Ukip. Matthew convinced me it was the correct thing to do.

I've just joined UKIP based on the ignorance of the interviewer.

the radio host is so biased and so typical of his type

"so called" ...sums you up Matthew. Just renewed my UKIP sub.

Wow pure ignorance and wilful hatred by mr Wright

I'm backing Batten and more than disappointed in Farage.

Matthew, you are simply terrible at interviews. Stick to your advocacy journalism, you have a real talent for pushing your opinion. You do realise that you fuel advocacy for causes you treat with disrespect, listen and disagree that is all you need to do. It's petty what you are doing here, I don't like it and I'll be voting UKIP. Thanks for making up my mind.

Matthew Wright is an example of why people are voting UKIP

Well done#ukip. The public are backing you .

I support Tommy and Gerrad they have my vote set in stone. Matthew Wright is wearing those things on his face for a reaction please people ignore the unfortunate one.

I WILL BE VOTING FOR BATTEN 100 PER CENT

Very poor interviewer who has simply not done his research

What appalingly biased narrow minded journalism. Garard Batten always keeps his cool. Proves he's the better man.

You can tell by the expression on Matthew Wright's face that he is not listening to a single word Gerard Batten is saying re Tommies character, he has his fixed, arrogant position and that is that. Great shame, he might actually learn something.

Wow I've just joined UKIP

Made me join UKIP 👊🏼💪🏼

The message ukip is sending out is “we acknowledge we need a party that actually represents the majority of the country”

Joining UKIP today after this. Well done Gerard. How poor was this interviewer? Awful...

"My parents would be appalled to hear you called me working class".. is this guy for real? He's knocking Batten for using the term working class, even equating Prince Charles as working class and then thinks he's above being called working class himself. What a bell. We've got huge issues in this country, people like this guy thinking he's above everyone else - class doesn't equate to common sense mate - you can be 'educated' but that doesn't mean you have common sense or logic.

Batten!! You legend! Cool and calm. 👌

Remain Radio trying to give UKIP a kicking. Where was Mr Wright's journalistic focus when girls were being raped on an industrial scale in several northern towns in the UK? No doubt he was stroking himself over diversity and Multiculturalism. I get tired of self righteous people who have highlighted nothing and protected nobody criticising people who are doing their best to do just that.

This is an absolutely appaling interview. Never allowing Batten to finish a sentence - hoping that he will either forget his train of thought or he will lose his rags. Provocation after provocation, malicious, slanderous.....yuck! Yuck to this interviewer!

Some past history of Matthew Wright. In 1998, Wright and the Daily Mirror were successfully sued for libel for £20,000 by actor David Soul, after Wright referred to the play The Dead Monkey in a review as being "without doubt the worst West End show I have ever seen", despite not having seen it. Wright also made several other false claims about the play in his article. Soul stated that Wright was "using the play as an excuse to attack me personally".[7] In 2002, Wright named John Leslie live on air as the television presenter being linked to the alleged rape of Ulrika Jonsson. Wright subsequently said he could not remember saying Leslie's name during the show. In a Sky 1 show, John Leslie: My Year of Hell, Wright offered John Leslie an apology. Leslie confirmed he would not sue Wright, saying: "I think he just made a really big mistake and unfortunately I was the one paying the price."[9] In October 2011, Wright asked male viewers of The Wright Stuff if they would have sex with Amanda Knox, who had just been acquitted of the murder of Meredith Kercher. Wright introduced a debate on Knox's future with an on-screen caption headed "Foxy Knoxy: Would Ya?" and told viewers: "She's entirely innocent. She's also undeniably fit and loves wild sex. Or did. So if you were a guy who'd met her in a bar and she invited you back to hers, would you go?" Wright apologised for the segment the following day, stating: In December 2011, during a discussion on his show of the murder of Scottish teenager Liam Aitchison, Wright said in a mock Scottish accent "There's been another murder!", a reference to the television series Taggart. This led to more than 2,000 viewer complaints and an investigation by regulator Ofcom.[13] This edition of The Wright Stuff resulted in more complaints being made to Ofcom than any other programme in 2011.[14] Wright personally wrote to Aitchison's family by way of apology.[15]

I’m voting UKIP and if Tommy ever stands for elections, I’m voting for him

Matthew Wright proves he is an utterly vile person.

Great appointment From Gerrard Batten Tommy Robinson is a legend 🇬🇧💪 UKIP should open up a stall on the 9th December were people can sign up for membership

3 minutes in and Wright says he "Tends to go by the rule of law (Whose laws exactly?), rather then peoples subjective ah very subjective opinions of the rule of law" but doesnt answer Battens point that although Tommy has had charges pleading guilty doesnt mean you are guilty and that the state used making his wife public, which Tommy has, with all the death threats daily and osman warnings, managed to maintain privacy, so the state knew they could shut Tommy up for awhile by making this threat, based on a bogus search and warrent I'll add!

I'm now a UKIP member because of Gerard and Tommy.

IM VOTING UKIP I WILL SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE. 17.5 MILLON PEOPLE WILL SOON BE REGISTERING VERY SOON.

Got my full support ukip 󾓪 love the direction batten is taking the party 👌

Why ask someone on to be interviewed and then just talk over them ?

Gerard is the best political leader in Britain at the moment.

Usual lazy and arrogant journalism by Mathew Wright. Doesn't want to talk about other contempt cases but he was happy to talk about other religions when Islam turns up. No justification in any labels he gave anyone. Absolute disgrace and completely inept.

Thanks Matthew, I've now joined UKIP. (Gen)

Thanks Matthew Wright , NOT RIGHT THIS TIME , I've just now joined UKIP.

Should be called wankoster radio,

Garrard Batten's doing a sterling job and I for one am 100% behind him.

He calls out Gerard for deflection when he compares whatTommy did with what the Sun did and wouldn't let him speak. Then deflects the issues of Islam by going on about Christianity 🙄. Double standards 😤 Wright was shit when he was on TV, still shit now.

Batten is a modern hero and is taking the media and opponents head on!

this guy must be a very good friend of jimmy savil

"I'm proud to be Black" said the Black man. "I'm proud to be Asian said the Asian man. "I'm proud to be White said the Racist.?

Gerrard Batten 👍👍 on the flip side it's cringe inducing listening to Matthew Wright spouting such disingenuous nonsense.

Look at me I am wearing PINK glasses!

The way Gerald Batten calmly reacted to the underhand tactics and bigotry of the interviewer shaws that he has the makings of wise political leader reminiscent of Clement Attlee. To call Tommy Robinson racist is absurd and shows lack of curiousity and prejudiced refusal to do the simplest research.

I used to think Wright was a sensible bloke, but after watching this video it is obvious he is just an arrogant stirrer, trying to make a name for himself at the expense of others. Is TalkRadio a branch of the BBC, I wonder???

I'll back UKIP 100% with Tommy on board Gerrard Batten and Lord Pearson have been the only ones listening to the British public ❌🇬🇧🐝

What kind of interview is this where the host gets more talk time then the guest?!

UKIP is the phoenix rising. The next election will be the biggest shock since Trump and Brexit.

Every comment on here basically confirms what I thought. Matthew Wright is a right bell end

Haha they are all getting worried cos they know Tommy will bring in another 2 million well done Gerrard. ROCK ON TOMMY

and his fcuking goggles WTF

Why doesn’t Wright just invite tommy Robinson on the show if he wants to talk about him?

A desperate interview trying to run down UKIP and failing miserably.

What a terrible interview, Matthew Wright clearly has something against Gerard Batten, he's very condescending, passive aggressive, etc towards Mr Batten. I'm so glad Gerard Batten didn't seemed phased by it and was able to stand his ground, it's so nice to see a strong leader of a political party who clearly wants to be upfront and honest about what he stands for and do right by people.

Thumbs down for the arrogant Mr wright. What a river of utter nonsense he's spews out.

Classic Matthew clearly knows nothing about tommy robinson and what he stands for 😂😂😂

Tommy just reports the facts. I can't hate on that, sorry snowflakes

expect tens of millions of pounds more in the UKIP coffers with Tommy on board.

I've never seen Matthew so desperate in my life lol. And it is great how Batten owns Wright when it comes to the old testament/new testament vs the Quran :p

I like Batten! He answers well. He's well thought out and researched.

Gerard must be ever so embarrassed getting the upper hand on these far lefties time and time and time again 👏

I've always liked Matthew Wright for his ability to tackle fairly heavy subjects in a seemingly light-hearted way, always keeping a happy, cheery smile and a persona of bon homie at all times; little did I know he's actually a rabid, lying little brainwashed toe-rag who's not fit to clean Batten's and Tommy's boots.

You are so calm. You speak clearly. I applaud you Mr batton

Tommy's book is excellent ; do read it ! Love and support from France.

I would vote for Batten over Farage anytime... I have lost faith in Farage a long time ago.

Why don't people stop slandering Tommy Robinson to Gerrard Batten and get Tommy himself onto the show and ask him all theses questions? I tell you why it's because he will rip them to pieces for lying about him.

Mathews bigotry is clouding his judgement and causing him act irrational

Well, in April 2019 now, shows how correct Gerard was about the government stitch up of Brexit has turned out

What right has the non-journalist Matthew Wright got in calling UKIP and Tommy Robinson supporters RACIST...

No such thing as left and right " only truth and lies !!

"my parents would be appalled to hear i'm working class. ha ha ha". OH dear, this is why they have no clue about the majority of the UK. Working class isn't a choice, most people are born into it .

The more the lefties try and argue their point, the more they lose, and lose spectacularly. Gerard Batten has an answer for everything and he’s absolutely on point here. He would make an excellent prime minister.

Who's he gonna get as an advisor? A Middle class toff who don't understand the lives of the majority of the country? That's the issue with the big parties so why would Gerrard make the same mistakes as the others?? That's just stupid!!

Thank u mr Wright I am now voting for ukip👍🏻

Hey, talkRADIO, if you keep hiring people like this Wright character nobody is going to listen to your station. You need to find some more people like Julia H-B.

No wonder the Mathew Wright show got replaced

Another masterful performance from Batten. Really impressed with how he calmly but forcibly handles the media who are almost universally hostile toward him.

Tommy Robinson stood outside that court so as to warn the parents of the children that lived in the area of where the rapist lived. They were convicted of terrible crimes against children and teenage girls and the judge let them out on bale walking the streets unhindered while awaiting sentencing. The parents had a right to know who they were for their children’s safety. Tommy Robinson is a defender of our children!

Any one that knows Gerard knows that Geert and Tommy are decent people warning people of the danger of the way we are heading in and then being the ‘boogy men’ what a pallaver

Matthew wright has a very big mouth and does not know how to keep it SHUT !

Its amazing how visually uncomfortable mat Wright gets as the interview progresses a man that displays this has no control over himself and will only attempt to discredit where he can't argue adequately.

I didn't realize how arrogant Matthew Wrong was till i saw this interview.

VOTE AND JOIN UKIP.

He looks like tommy Robinson dad

If he has no convictions for Rape why even bring it up? Talk about tainting the well.

Keep strong Gerard you’re doing great.

The more the media try and twist out people the more ridiculous they look and the more support our leaders are getting.

Politicians in glass houses should not throw stones !
