Bastani always strikes me as the dodgiest of the NM lot and his performance here doesn't change that. Nice to see the comments rippng him and the ever-hideous Applebaum apart.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

You think Aaron Bastani gave Anne Applebaum an easy ride? James O'Brien was swooning over her

She was on O'Brien's LBC show a day or so ago, and it was stomach-churningly awful -- he treated her reverentially and everything she said as gospel, without ANY comeback or even the mildest dissent. And like Bastani he kept slavering on about the Pulitzer Prize, like a little kid with its gob hanging open. It was nauseating. I didn't stay the whole course so I don't know if he received any adverse comments fro listeners.

O'Brien always strikes me as being obsessed with his own status, so besotted with being on the radio talking to "personalities" that he's almost hugging himself with incredulous gratitude. "Here's little me, being chummy with these internationally known people, and we're getting on like a house on fire! I'm moving in their elevated circles and they like me! Can't wait to have a wank afterwards."

I used to respect the author Wlliam Dalrymple until I heard him extolling her virtues.

He was probably a Tory anyway but anyone with such a flawed judgement of Applebaum: an idiological propagandist rather than an impartial historian, really can't be trusted on anything else.

I laughed heartily at your last line! Pretty good summing up of O'Brien. nm

Name looks familiar but nothing else.

The last working-class hero in England.

Re: Who she?

Wicked Neo-con Witch of the West.

Massively Russophobic, war-whore, proxy-war lover, zionist, never enough war for her. Madeleine Albright looked like a Dove compared to her.

Married to the guy that thanked the US for blowing Nordstream up then deleted his tweet.

Vicious xxxx.

So, that's why people expected (for some reason) Novara to actually hold her feet to the fire except Bastani seems to have licked them instead.

You don't mince your *very* accurate assessment and words Rask : )

Nevermind flocking together/feather and all, she is a perfect match for her hubby, Sikorsky. Marriage made in the most insalubrious corners of Hell.

She's a regular exalted guest on Radio New Zealand.

She was, and no doubt still is, a vicious traducer of Jeremy Corbyn, whom she called a "useful idiot" of the Kremlin.

She's wrong about Corbyn

He was merely an idiot, the craven poltroon.

Absolutely spellbinding genius, top-three all time, as a chess player but meh, I'm not with Kazza on his politics.
