I listened to John Major at the Oxford union. How far have we fallen that a prime minister who is honest, intelligent and persuasive yet respectful is too much to ask? Whatever you think about people like May or Major, they have integrity and put the country first

[ysgol]

I'm a socialist, but I admire and respect the decency and honour John Major always displayed. He really did try his best for the country, and I hope he feels relaxed and content about what he attempted so hard to do.

[Taporeee]

John Major had possibly the most eclectic and unique upbringing of all modern British Prime Minsters

[stevendurrant]

For someone always supposed dull, he has a lot of charm and insight.

We are fools to mistake bombast for character.

[EMidMSO]

Poor Rory, he'd have been a so much better fit in a Major Cabinet

This video clip shows WHY we MUST see video versions of the podcast soon! Riveting seeing the reactions along with the dialogue!

Why do I dislike politicians when they are in office but then like them when they have left Parliament ?

[mediolanumhibernicus]

Fascinating.
This is the podcast that keeps giving!

[darrylshamrock]

Thank you Mr S and Mr podcasta are ace. Especially since you two know what you are talking about. Keep it up.

[QuantumWalnut]

This is actually a very interesting conversation. If anything, it feels like a much needed correction of how history had protrayed her so far.

[simplemindeduk]

I seem to remember her being brutal to the poor, the elderly, the sick, the very young...people who couldn't fight back, in fact.

I am an American and just bought his book. I have been studying the British Prime Ministers for awhile now and it seems like there is currently a period of instability with five PM's in 14 years and the mess that was Brexit. I personally would like NAFTA to just become the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement and invite the UK to join and then the new NAFTA could hammer out a trade agreement with Europe. I like Mr. Major's candor and honesty in his interviews.

Just watched this video.Enjoyed it very much.When he was P.M. the media did him a great disservice.Always thought he was not appreciated, he was never dogmatic, a very able and honest man. That is how I see him.

[nektekket]

How far have we fallen when Major looks reasonable...

[modmod]

Superb creases in Sir John’s shirt. Really quite excellent.

[mrkeogh]

Genuine statesman. He's only continued to grow in stature since leaving Number 10.

[global]

So disappointing that John Major was interrupted & prevented from answering a question about his own relationship with Thachter just for Alistair to read what he wrote in his book & the audacity to say he’s knows the answer better! Interviewer should never make themselves the subject. Let John speak!!!

[johnholland]

This is good, coming from the minister responsible for moving women's retirement age to 66 and beyond. Without even bothering to tell them, and letting the department of Work and Pensions not inform them until they reached 60!

[markdwestwood]

Great interview. The background music is quite distracting unfortunately

[alexandercarder]

I have a desire for John Major to come back and be prime minister again. He is older now and wiser and he is incredibly intelligent man.
