Owen Jones meets Alastair Campbell – full length interview

guardian so called newspaper journalist owen jones is a vile perverted creep who takes pictures and videos using his phone of mens penis in public toilets

"that theresa may and this government is about as bad as it gets" - if only they knew

rewatching this now Owen was very naive,he should just sit back an take notes from Alistair, its like Alistairs schooling his little bro

Owen comes over really badly in this - rattled, chippy, combative without substance. Lost on points.

Goodness me, I would find it hard to believe that OJ can watch this back without squirming with embarrassment.

Owen Jones is a typical sour leftie.

Is Owen Jones being rude or full of ADHD? I wish I could have watched the interview however, I findMr Jones pretty rude.

OLD HYPOCRITE ALISTAIR CAMPBELL - LOL - WHAT A NASTY PEICE OF WORK HE WAS WHEN TONY BLAIR WAS PM, FULL OF SELF IMPORTANCE & ARROGANCE; NOTHINGS CHANGED !!

"when we went to Australia to meet Murdoch and all of his people..."
they went there to court Murdoch!
nothing diplomatic about it....he has just confirmed what he denied!

Campbell has shifted during the interview from 'Thatcher was terrible' to 'Thatcher was awesome'....whatever he saus now is irrelevant, because Thatcher started privatisation of our infrastructire amd Campbell and Blair continued it deliberately! So, his "concerns" over what might have happened under a Corbyn government, have already become reality for the people under the Tories!
What Campbell doesn't want to see is nationalisation of national infrastructure....he HATES national democractised socialism.

Oh... and he supported an illegal war for no reason

Straight away Campbell demonstrates he is a sociopath

Alastair Campbell is spot on what he says I think he Is brilliant

He won 3 elections because the UK electorate just wanted an alternative tory party - which plastic toryblair's generic politics nu-labour tory2 party was and still is. (It's 'much more complicated than that' to get a 1 party state in through the back door by means of generic politics.)

Campbell is a charlatan who thinks he's so clever - 'we can do whatever we want because where else can people go!'

The Global Financial Crisis or 2007-08 was principally caused by the Subprime Mortgage Crisis in the US and also the Sovereign Debt crisis in the EU. The UK was massively affected by this because of our reliance on the global financial services markets.

Difference between Owen Jones and Alastair Campbell is that Campbell wants to know the truth and Owen wants what he believes in to be true

Alistair Campbell so outclasses overrated Owen Jones

Squealer Jones as ridiculous as ever.

Illegal attack on Iraq. Sexed up dossier. Dr David Kelly driven to suicide. Alistair Campbell's legacy. No shame. No morals. No self-awareness.

If we had had a general election instead of a referendum on Brexit, Corbin would have been Prime Minister. But i think the window of opportunity was small, populism was on the rise and that cohort of voters who would have swung it on a Jeremy being the wind of change, anti establishment warrior, ticket had their heads turned by Trumpism and rise of the new right. As it stands and stood in the past the left wing of the Labour party and socialist community in Britain will not be enough to win a general election, they need "middle England" the whole of Scotland and bits of Wales as an and/or prop, that means Blair like compromise on something, to keep those voters, in Blairs case the preceding Thatcher economic reforms and policies of private ownership of utilities.

I think Campbell sees a lot of his younger self in Owen.

Some people don't like you very much. In fact, millions. Great way to start an interview.

Owen comes across as a right c**

The editing is so weird in this. The weird stuff with the coffee cup etc I can't work out whether they want to be ttoi or the office, or a serious candid meeting. I like both
but felt like the meeting was cheapened a little.

What an offensive little child Owen Jones is. I watch and praise his grown up beard all the time. He is an utter failure, which is a massive shame, he had so much potencial

This soft open side of Jones is not convincing, there's a very unpleasant zealot Momentum member lurking there.

The look that Campbell gives him at the beginning after Jones says, "...in we go."

Owen , like his hero Corbyn, seems incapable of policy change or intellectual political development. Campbell brought this out beautifully here.

its entertaining to see such furious journalism played out so calmly

one race the human race

Pretty sure I recall Jones speaking against Corbyn, until he got some kind of relative ‘popularity’. Could be the passage of time playing tricks on me of course. If my recollection is right, would be nice to hear him say what changed.

I like Owen but he comes across very childish here!

I like Owen Jones and disagree with Alastair about many thing and marched in the protests against Iraq etc etc but he's a smart man.

I don't like Owen Jones at all

Dodgy dossier..shut it Campbell

what an arrogant little prima Donna that owen jones is. If i was cambell, i would have cancelled.

Owen is a fool

Late again! Owen was late in the GQ interview too!

Some of this has aged poorly for Owen.

Tax discussions are always aimed at earned income. Never at profits. “The top 5%” Owen talks about are nowhere near as rich as the owners.

I like alastair, I actually do. But he's a lib dem, not Labour.

Alastair Campbell got it absolutely right about killing Dr. David Kelly plus 1,000,000 Iraqi's in 2003. Top man <3

I dont know if Owen Jones is arrogant in his ignorance or ignorant in his arrogance.

I am interested in alister Campbell and his ideas, inpreticularly on the Iraq war. But Owen Jones, although we read, came across way too harshly.

Hate Alister Campbell

Owen comes across as a narrow minded bigot.

the thought of jeremy corbyn getting into politics is heinous.

It’s funny how Owen waxes lyrical about how Corbyn won a bigger share of the vote than Blair did in 2005 when Blair won and Corbyn lost.

The way these two personalities play off eachother is very very entertaining.
Hopefully there is another one of these interviews in the works.

Awesome :)

Campbell is a mass-murdering war criminal and you should be ashamed for even talking to him and being a part of his rehabilitation. Iraqi lives clearly do not matter.

Framing the Iraq war as 'disastrous' as you do in the description feeds the imperialist lie that Western wars or interventions are ever 'humanitarian', as opposed to cynically calculated with no regard to the loss of life.
