Sometimes we all need a bit of Roisin.

I've been following since the beginning and this is my favourite edition ever.

Nick Clegg was amusing, efficient, kind. I'm surprised!

I'm not. He was a lousy politician. They're supposed to be psychopaths.

7:31 "Sod it, I'll do it if they're offering that much".

Nick is a very handsome prime minister. UK are so lucky.

Yes. Except he never was, he was deputy PM in a desperate and doomed coalition brokered by the Tories with the Liberal democrats.

Kevin was brilliant, Roisin was really enjoying that.

The irony of a politician scoffing at £300,000 being spent on science.

Watching this in 2024 as the US election campaigning gets under way, it feels like history is repeating itself....

Thanks so much for posting.

Ahh 2016 surely Trump couldn't actually win office. Boris Johnson as Prime Minister what a funny little joke, oh look there is Liz Truss, well she wont get any where. Oh well and least we can enjoy gathering in groups and freely traveling abroad.

I was at a talk he gave to a group of neuroscientists. He's really so much more down-to-earth than most people know. He puts on the serious face for his religious followers because he believes he owes it to them, but when he's himself (as in this interview), he's funny! He made a gaff at our talk - he said as neuroscientists our highest goal should be to find out how to put happiness into a pill. During Q & A someone asked if he cared to elaborate, because we have numerous happy pills already. Nobody laughed louder than he did! Then of course he clarified that he meant happiness without all the negative consequences, just pure happiness. He was getting at the neural underpinnings of what true happiness really is. (He's really into neuroscience.) He's known as the Buddha of Happiness, and he seemed the whole time to be looking for reasons to laugh, mostly at himself. He's really a cool guy, as well as all that other stuff. I could see him at the pub with everyone else, having a laugh and sharing stories, though he'd probably be having tea instead of beer. Now his interpreter is stiff as a plank, never smiling once. I guess it has to be that way. After all, the Dalai Lama is still a world leader.

the first time this rolled around I literally screamed ''CLEGG!!" when he came on the screen. indeed, what did he get himself into? THxBH

I thought Nick Clegg took all the ribbing in stride! He was actually funny and quite lovely! 🌹😍

11:25 Ian not too far wrong there

Can someone explain the joke about keith vaz and sausage job?

@OnnoSlot1988

Wikipedia says: Allegations about Vaz were published by the British tabloid Sunday Mirror in early September 2016. It was reported that he had engaged in unprotected sexual activity with male prostitutes and had told them he would pay for cocaine if they wished to use it.

Nick Clegg is the opposite. But that shit show is the basis of HIGNFY

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"

I give him credit for doing this..and he was pretty good! Dont know why they have ol Blondie on..she's only good for getting four letter words on Countdown...😂

She had a pretty damn shrewd assessment of Trump. Sounds like Blondie as a bit more upstairs then you give her credit.
