...a few years ago now, Wark and a usual fake interview with the Israeli war criminal (is there any other kind?) Tzipi Livni. Livni was on the telly quite a lot back then.
What I found remarkable was that Wark ended the interview by calling her "Tzipi" as she thanked her for joining them.
Sent three emails to the BiBiC about it...no reply as usual.

I remember Tom Paulin on Late Review saying something clever, Wark jumping in with a characteristic banality and the camera lingering on Paulin who rolled his eyes. I knew how he felt.

I always liked Tom Paulin with his silken 'Orish tones...quite naughty on those late night shows.
Wouldn't get away with it now, methinks.

Reminds me of A.J.P.Taylor on Question Time in the good old days.
Some awful tory had said something very silly and Taylor was laughing at it and a very snarky Robin Day, thought he was clever and asked Taylor if he wanted to reply or just laugh, to which Taylor replied "I'll just laugh".
That's got to be very late 70s or very early 80's...student grant, essay done, a nice smoke and a good pint...ooop north in Huddersfield.

I saw that too. ;O) Tom got disappeared for making anti-zionist remarks.
