he's not an evil man he's not even mad but boy he's extremely emotionally and intellectually limited to go your whole life and still be where you were as a 22-year-old student activist Trotsky supporter when what other ways hasn't he grown or changed as a human being over the years? I look at Boris who is an overgrown child a compulsive liar with a smuggler on his face like he knows something you don't and then I go and see this interview and realise Boris looks like a saint a genius a great statesman and exceptionally mature next to Jeremy Frank Spencer would have looked like a brilliant prime minister so that's not saying a lot I think I said enough I just want everybody to know I don't dislike Jeremy as a human being but he's exceptionally tiresome
The far left hold true to Tony Benn's parable that you should always be a signpost, never a weathercock "changing with the wind". The problem is, the world doesn't work like that, life and cultures are complex, not everything fits into a simplistic left/right padigm, and we need to evolve our beliefs when we're wrong rather than retreat into a fantasy world. Having no sense of humour was always dead giveaway for someone with no flexibility of thought.
"he's not an evil man he's not even mad but boy he's extremely emotionally and intellectually limited to go your whole life and still be where you were as a 22-year-old student activist Trotsky supporter" People who say such things are, ironically, invariably possessed of an infantile and reactionary mindset and incapable of nuance or complex understanding.
This interviewer (?John Pienaar) persisted in attempting to put words on Corbyn's mouth. I am no supporter of JC (the opposite in fact), but his treatment here was rude and unfair. He should have been given time to answer without interruption and being subjected to cheap lawyers' railroading techniques. He faced it all with remarkable patience.
I do support him but I really appreciate a sincere honest comment on here from someone with an opposing viewpoint. So refreshing to read instead of the cheap ad hominem attacks. Respect to you.
agree or disagree.... and I do disagree with him, but geez, give the guy room to answer. so many interruptions and putting words in his mouth. if you don't want to listen to his answers, don't interview him. I thought this was a very frustrating interview. all we got was , yes, they disagree.
Corbyn could hardly give a straight answer to any of the questions. Particularly dire was his (several times) weaseling out of saying whether he’d send arms to Ukraine so they could defend themselves.
He's a politician with decades of experience, a former leader of HM's Opposition, and he hasn't changed an opinion in about 3 decades... how much more prepared to fight his own corner with an interview should we expect him to be??
How was the interviewer bias? Should Ukraine defend its home or not. It’s simple. If yes give them weapons. If not let Russia cut through them like butter. Simple.
@@malignm1857 Really?! I have to explain? 🤣 When you say things like "If not let Russia cut through them like butter. Simple."

Not an interview but an interrogation in which Corbyn is made to agree throughout to the opinions and even the wording of a host whose brain switches off two or three words into each response . "I wanted just a one-word answer ... "
This awful interviewer is trying to pigeon-hole Corbyn into taking ridiculous positions. He's trying to force binary good-vs-evil answers on nuanced issues. Ridiculous.
I disagree, it’s important that interviewers manage to make politicians state their views as clearly as possible to prevent any confusion or differing interpretations of things said
There isn't much nuance in the topic about Ukraine actually, this is one of the few black/white topics. You either support Ukraine militarily or you don't
@@1queijocas And, that's where you're wrong. There is plenty of nuance. For example, look at the violent anti-democratic 2014 coup that was backed by the US and Eastern EU. Look at NATO expansion and regime change policies. Only a biased fool would say there is no gray area here.
What is wrong with this interviewer!!!! Did he bring Jeremy on so that he can crucified him !!! If this is so! What crime did he think Jeremy has committed!, Respect to Jeremy for being so respectful as always and sincere and calm conducts
This is actually what a good interviewer does. They are supposed to play devils’ advocate, and to challenge the interviewee’s views. It invokes good discourse and gets the interviewee to both think deeply about their opinions but also how to justify them when under pressure. Andrew Neil does the same, he is neutral and will pick the opposite side of the political spectrum to the interviewee; and again play devils’ advocate. It is what makes a great interviewer.
@@dWFnZWVr Trouble with your theory is that Jon seems PERSONALLY engaged with this aggressive kind of approach. He's failed at the first hurdle therefore.
The comments below are incredible. To think that someone who didn't cheat his expenses, not in the pay of corporate lobbyists, has consistently stood by workers on picket lines as their wages have stagnated or fallen for the past 15 years, committed to fixing our broken housing system and in the words of Winston Churchill prefering more 'jaw jaw to war war' when it comes to war and peace is so vilified shows how broken this country is. Clearly a lot of mass self-loathing to prefer Johnson who broke the law so casually and laughs in your faces. Sad.
Yes, but he's never actually accomplished anything. Apart from giving a platform to dangerous and violent terrorists and hate preachers. And taking money from the Iranian regime to help promote their now banned propaganda channel 'PressTV'

Johnston is a titan compared to this dithery old student. Hs brother is even worse. Corbyn is the acme of pusillanimousness. 'demanding some kind of dialogue with Putin' - Hasn't Macron tried many times or the Dutch freign minister ? Thank God he is nowhere near any power. I don't find him reasonable or thoughtful, anything but. Just full of platitudes and half baked hopes for a better world. This IS the world NOW, Corbyn. Deal with it.
The thumbnail image they’ve chosen to use of Jeremy here says a lot more about Times Radio than it does him. Quite pathetic really and not in the slightest bit reflective of the thoughtful, intelligent answers he gives
Naïve and ill informed pacifism is not smart. It's irresponsible. It's easy to be a pacifist when your country doesn't border an autocratic dictator who doesn't respect borders nor treaties (e.g. Budapest Memorandum, Minsk II).
Appears to be that this interviewer used the platform to forward his own view primarily. Such a biased interview not expected from a " professional journalists. " Corbyn very cool under the circumstances.
Corbyn is always cool, unflabale and knows his stuff. These TV radio stations always spout the same rethoric. I dont know why they bother having different channrls.
What a man. Well done for keeping his cool while being interogated like this. Wish he was the PM but we're stuck with the Boris. Deep it we really could of had a real human being who cares about the people of this country and the people of the world rather than some posh boy who lies at every turn, what a shame and what a waste
I'm 68. I was always interested in politics and current affairs. Since the start of the war, for the first time in my adult life I've stopped listening to my national news service and also to current affairs programs. They MSM exists to provide entertainment for their listeners and customers for their advertisers.
There needs to be a ceasefire but that would require both countries to agree. Russia is constantly violating ceasefires which means the only option is for Ukraine to defend itself which Corbyn made it clear that he does not support arming Ukraine to do so.
@@_Super_Hans_ I agree with all of your comment up until the last point - did you watch the same interview as me? Because that’s absolutely not Corbyn’s position at all - the thing he made clear was that he categorically condemns Russian’s invasion, and very much does support helping Ukraine to defend itself.
John Pienaar is better than this. For goodness sake, all he had to do was conduct an impartial interview. This was so obviously an attempt to discredit one of the last few honourable people in politics.
He is doing the job he is paid to do. Not meant to be impartial. Keep the status quo, avoid any ideas of change from becoming popular as nearly happened in 2017. Worked a treat, as demonstrated by most of the commentators on here.
@@johndavies5985 so you don’t believe in impartiality from our journalists? Hmmm…. So back in November 2019, would you rather Emily Maitlis just kept her questions strictly within the scope of the interviewee’s charity work? If so, you may wish to revisit your previous comment.
@@Andyreally Sorry not familiar with the Maitlis interview. I'll try to look it up. No I don't think that your 'journalists' are impartial. John was asking gotcha questions and a good job he did too. Just read headline on the BBC about Starmer stating that Jeremy would not be accepted back because of this interview. Well done Times. Used to be a good investigative media, now a poor shadow of journalism. Have a look at a real journalist, a French war correspondent, Anne-Laure Bonnel. A true impartial journalist.
The interviewer is trying to skewer Jeremy into coming up with something untoward. He forgets that Jeremy has been thinking through and articulating his positions on war and peace since Vietnam. He's hardly likely to just blab something off the top of his head. I'm afraid the inter viewer is out of his league on this subject anyway.
That's great and everything. But he can't give basic answers to foreign policy dilemnas. Which is pretty terrifying. When you think he might have been running the show.
it's horrible that Pienaar has to toe the Murdoch line. Jeremy's patience and calm is admirable when he faces these ridiculous biased barrages and harangings that replaces serious journalism
There is no nuance in journalism these days. Journalists always try to force what people say, everything needs a simplistic answer. They can't deal with a fine politician like Corbyn because we wont fall for their tricks. Pienar is a good journalist but he is as antagonistic as others in trying to force one answer, when these situations as Corbyn has ably demonstrated in this interview are much more complicated.
Ah bless. Confrontation is always uncomfortable when you're on the wrong side of things. That inherent frustration you feel comes from this. You will figure it out one day.
As a working man I had no representation in that bloody place until Jeremy became leader. I joined the Labour party rapidly and left just as rapidly when the tossers behind the right wing press conived to get rid of him due to their fear of a just and fair society he would bring. Insurrection is now the only alternative
What about civilian killings in Afghaniatan and Iraq by NATO Countries? Abu Garison prison torture by you people? Where is the ICC & ICJ and UN Charter?
Worst interviewer I've ever seen. Please do not hire this guy again. He sounds like he's interrogating a prisoner of war in a 40' shipping container just behind the frontline, not doing a journalism in a studio located in a democratic country.
As an Eastern European old enough to remember living under moscow's rules, I can't listen to Jeremy speaking about this war. I simply can't. He "acknowledges" this war is horrible and then with the same breath preaches for "peace talks" that mean giving Ukraine to russia. He - I believe intentionally - omits one very important thing: if Ukrainians are left to russia they will die. Prolonging this war will lead to more deaths and suffering, but letting russia take over Ukraine will lead to actually even more deaths and suffering! I used to be one of those people who fell for Jeremy, I put so much hope in him and I was an avid supporter. Now I'm in a position where I'm enormously grateful he's nowhere close to any power or decision making. He's such a massive disappointment.
Jeremy will not fall into your loophole of nonsense. He knows his views impact lives. Unlike you failing to push your agenda onto him. That's why he was in politics for 40 years, your a rookie trying to push an agenda.
What kind of journalist batters an interviewee with their own 'views' and then calls that journalism. I think Jezza gives a very good interview considering how contentious most mainstream journalists are. It's a long time since I was a pro journalist, but I'd be asking VERY different questions.
@@johndavies5985 There is a great difference between Thatcher's attempts to negotiate peace and Corbyn's support for terrorists. Thatcher didn't defend terrorists, didn't attend terrorist group's functions, didn't speak in support of terrorist groups, unlike Corbyn
@@anthonysokolsky6210 what's your opinion of the invasion of Ukraine? Do you think Ukrainians should just sit back & take it or should they fight against their oppressors like the IRA, Hamas or Hezbollah? Lebanon has been under siege for around 70 years, Palestine invaded for 100 years & Ireland for 800 years. Mr Corbyn's role in all of these conflicts has been as mediator, which obviously means that he spoke to all sides. He even spoke to Mrs Thatcher, does that mean you will now call him a Tory supporter? PS. just in case you didn't know, Hamas is the elected Government of Palestine & Hezbollah forms part of the elected coalition Government of Lebanon. England had destroyed the Government of Ireland & the IRA was part of re-establishing a government.
Don't think much of this interviewer, he isn't interested in interviewing Mr Corbyn, the interviewer doesn't listen, all he wants is to push his own opinions and keeps reframing what Mr Corbyn has said with his own opinions, how unfortunate that you can't allow Mr Corbyn to say what he means without false reinterpretation.
Same as in times of Iraq war in 2003. Nobody from this so called "journalist" wanted to listen the peace movement. Only Julian Assange was sayin that war in Iraq is very dangerous and bloody war. That is why he is in prison today.
I love how Corbyn sticks to his answers, and continues his answers when being cut off. His replies do actually follow on from the interviewer, but he doesn't get backed into a corner with his answers. He is a professional speaker. Made me chuckle, as you can see when he's being interrupted etc.
What makes you think Corbyn is an intelligent man? He's got E grade A levels and dropped out of Polytechnic. And has achieved absolutely nothing in politics despite 4 decades in the House of Commons.
Agree, he's a politician who has integrity. Most commentators that replied to your reply are incredulous when faced with that. They see integrity as weakness. They have no integrity themselves so go on the attack, they know no better bless them.
If Ukraine had never handed over its nuclear arsenal the war would never have happened and Ukraine would never have had any need to seek the protection of NATO. Russia gave Ukraine security guarantees as did the US so if there is a negotiated settlement any guarantee from Russia will be worthless. This is all going to end badly and all responsibility will be on Russia.
If I had a € for every time Ive read this post pasted in to comments I could retire. They were Russian bombs, they were under agreement returned to Russia and the fuel taken by the US. The idea of the chaotic Ukraine regime nuclear armed is a nightmare.
Excellent & concise comment. Hindsight being 20/20, In regards to Russia (primarily) Ukraine made a deal with the devil. For my two bits I would like to see the sanctions against Russia extended to include everything (medical tech/supplies) & that these be left in place for up to a generation. The russian people will suffer, as they should - for (complacently) inflicting yet another monster on mankind & this would send a message to citizens of every country, that YOU are 100% responsible for your culture & political system. Otherwise the scenario we are faced with now, where the russian people, just like the generation of Germans alive during WW2, one day will say: "We didn't know." And this template will be repeated over & over & over.
@@casteretpollux Doesn't alter the main point. Written guarantees given by Russia are worthless. Russia keeps telling us about assurances they were supposedly given by the US. What hypocrites. At least the US didn't attack Russia. As if they would. The Russian invasion of Ukraine makes a mockery of every claim made by Putin.
@ Jeff Betts. Your position seems to ignore the fact that NATO has been provoking this conflict by creeping eastward and trying to get as close to the Russian border as possible. NATO is a military organization that was created to fight Russia and it is understandable that by getting so close to the Russian border, the Russians felt thretened and that has been goig on for years with Russia asking NATO to refrain from what was perceived as an aggressive stance. You do not seem to realize that when the Russians put missiles in Cuba, a few hundred miles from Florida, then president Kennedy had a similar reaction but executed in a far more intelligent fashion because it led to a discussion and a final agreement. In today's conflict not once have we heard the word "peace", "peace conference" or something similar coming out of the White House. Very different times from the Good Friday accords or the Camp David accords where, in both cases, people with deep distrust towards each other did finally agree on some sort of balanced calm. You do not seem to sense that when world wide famous universities cancel courses on Russian litterature, Russian directors are banned from conducting the Paris orchestra and the Cat Lovers World Association is expelling its Russian members, the collective hysteria has just been pumped up by the media to insane limits. It seems that darker interests that neither of us know are at play.
A corrupt, immoral, cheating, incompetent and vile human being, Johnson is a disgrace to the country. I could and would never vote for that sentient enemas but Corbyn does make it hard....
I don’t think either of them are fit to do the job, partly the choices we get now are because a very small part of the population chooses the candidates and they tend to not align with the politics of the bulk of the electorate.
Who paid this guy to attack JC ? Must be those who own and manufactor weapons. This interviewer is a bully. Or he doesn't have the ability to think outside the box and a knowledge of history and military/elite agendas.
“No Jeremy, No : all i want you to do is say ‘yes’ or ‘yes, exactly’ to the list of pre-prepared list of statements i have here. And i’ll make it really easy for you Jeremy : the answer i want is always ‘yes’ and not ‘no’, so your job is easy. Do you understand ?”
Seen it. It traumatized me for years afterwards. People think it will never happen but that has no bearing on how things will unfold. None of our leaders are clever enough to control the existential threat that hangs over all of us.
@@secondhalfcomeback he’s a truly great MP, I wish ours was half as helpful. He’s really there to help normal people, he’s certainly worth listening to.
An anti semite and a Putin/Chinese stooge. As much as I hate Boris it is a great thing Corbyn never got elected, Ukraine would have fallen had he been, NATO would be weakened, he's a Russian/Chinese puppet and proven anti Semite.
Ill informed pacifism is not a virtue. It's morally reprehensible. Jeremy Corbyn is extremely naïve at best or intentionally trying to disarm the West against an aggressive dictator. Pick one.
I am no fan of the labour party but Corbyn must be admired for his stance on issues which he disagreed with the Government on. I do not particularly like all his political opinions but he is a man of integrity and as such should be acknowledged.
@@anthonynightingale6459 I would rather be a Russian bot than being lied to by the western media and their puppet masters/western politicians. Step forward Boris.
Typical mindless drone of an interviewer bombarding Corbyn with loaded questions, and then interrupting when he doesn’t get the answer he wants. Not to mention the ridiculous thumbnail. Props to Corbyn for so politely suffering this fool’s questions.
We see here a man who never backs down on his morals,human principles and core societal needs and an advocate for peace. They try their best to plant ideologies into your mind with subtle claims, quotes, statements, yes or no questions. It's a clever business but Jeremy is a pro! He knows how to play. They try to score you see, but Jeremy has an outstanding defence. Built on humanity, peace and democracy! And you cant argue with those 3. You can try. Amd we see here a clear example of them trying. Well played Jeremy! MVP! ❤️
Not hugely impressed with Corbyn's reply's but nor am a impressed with the tone and nature of the interview. Where the interviewer was trying to put words in his mouth and narrow his responses into sound bites. Very poor communication that I doubt represents much at all. Think I will look elsewhere to discover what this man thinks.Typed the above before they got to the antisemitism. Interviewer clearly biased.
i absolutely agree it was quite difficult watching he was basically bullied into repeating what the interviewer thought......its happening alot these days
As a supporter of Corbyn, I think that’s a fair assessment. Disagreeing with someone is fine. Having interviewers trying to created false binaries and condensed soundbites which are intended to not inform the listener.
And that comment hits the nail on the head. The media was relentless in it's Ad Hominem attacks on Jeremy for over three years. Not one day without negative attack articles. I wonder if that had anything to do with public opinion?
I voted for Labour in 2019 and canvassed in my local town. I had previously been a Conservative voter but after David Cameron’s leadership I realised that our society was quickly descending into extreme poverty at one end and very wealthy at the other. Mr Corbyn tried to make a fairer society for the many. In the last four years it has radically declined further hence the number of food banks. I’ve been involved with my local branch and it’s really heartbreaking to see children going to school hungry. This happened in my grandfather’s time in 1910 - we are returning to those times, no food, no healthcare no homes for the poor in society. It’s so so wrong - when will people see this??
The media are worried and have been lashing out at Corbyn but things are changing. Thank you Jeremy. I think the approach of not stooping to their level is the making of a huge leap forward in our society - I think the approach of politicians ammending their identification with their values for the sake of electability opens the floodgates for the media to push their agenda - if one is to stick to their values, they will inevitably be outed in time. Thank you
I really admire Corbyn’s gentle nudging of the Times reader/listener down the path of peace even as the country listens to the siren song of war-mongers.

Currently I’m hosting a Ukrainian friend who just arrived yesterday. I’m surprised that she unlike many other Ukrainians can see through the fog of war and said that this war has become a racket for all the foreign governments.
I think TRUMP AND CORBYN should meet and discuss some things I think they mite have same mindset on a few good things that can help everyone, but the gangster mainstream media wouldn’t let it happen.
"Gotcha" journalism at it's worst, JC calm and collected under pressure from an interviewer unconcerned with facts, nuance or recognition of complexity.
Nato is not gonna disband now ? Let s see what happens when the war is over....anything can happen.....and Marine le Pen wanted to leave nato command asap if she had won so....
You'd think from some of the responses below that Corbyn wants Ukraine to surrender. In fact he asserts the Ukrainians right to defend themselves and supports arming them. He supports negotiation with the Russians....but since Zelensky is doing that (however futile it might be) that is hardly controversial. Essentially his position is very mainstream and non-controversial despite all the tory/blairite bs below.
@@williamthebonquerer9181 I know. I think it is a waste of time talking to them. But even Zelensky is trying that. To demonize Corbyn for that is absurd...it reminds me of the time they smeared him for talking to the IRA...when literally everyone from Thatcher to the Queen talked to the IRA.
@@archvaldor Corbyn supports almost every terror group. He was in a PKK rally. He called Hamas and Hezbollah his friend's. Hamas endorsed him. He put a reef on PLO member's graves.
We all talking about Russia war crime, but has the Ukraine Army also commited war crime in this war since 2014? I am just asking a question. For war to happen, it takes to sides, my second question is, do the US or NATO bear any responsibility to this crisis?
Absolutely asinine to say that the war shouldn’t go on any longer. Of course it shouldn’t, but that doesn’t mean Ukraine should just surrender and let Russia roll in. What a Neville Chamberlain he is. Ugh.

Agree with your basic sentiment, but actually whether it was his intention or not, Chamberlain managed to buy some much needed time to get ready for WWII - we weren't ready, and it helped a bit.
JC is the voice in the wildernesses! Mend your ways If the interviewer is the best the right wing press has to offer it’s pathetic and sadly hopeless and the death of the 4 th estate
Peace is the greatest threat to our socio-economic system which is built on cooperative exploitation, backed by militarisation. That is why people working for peace and those exposing corrupt, unethical practices are marginalised or removed.
You're right - and that is what happened to Jeremy Corbyn, thanks to the Establishment, the Tory Press and, to their eternal shame, Keir Starmer and his supporters.
Wish I could have heard this interviewer during the US's "bloody, brutal Invasion" of Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan! More civilians died on the first days of the shock and awe campaign in Baghdad than in all these months of the Ukr.-Rus war.
By all respect to Mr Corbyn,which he said Russia has got no business to invade UKRAIN, But What about Britain, USA and other western countries do they have right to invade Iraq Afghanistan Libya and many other countries.In fact I'm absolutely against invasion but looks anything we do that is OK but not tne otners.
I think your criticism is levelled at the wrong person there. Corbyn condemns any aggressive military action without reservation and has done so many times against his own government.
The Russians were first in Afghanistan !! And what about the indiscriminated massacres of civilians in Syria etc Tell it all or shut up ... STOP THE RUSSIAN GRESSION IN UKRAINE ! STOP THE WAR CRIMES !
I stopped listening to this program at 14:06 as the interviewer is beyond terrible. I did want to see if there was any mention of the fact that after the soviet union failed, I heard there was an understanding that NATO would not press for more countries to join, specifically, not up to Russia's border. To speculate that this encroachment is an excuse for Putin's actions is weak, but nonetheless seems a factor in the present situation with Ukraine. The latest additions to NATO also seem unhelpful also.
What an appalling set of responses. I voted for him (well Labour) but his response to arming Ukraine! Wow... that is a no-brainer and he couldn't say yes. Awful.
@@eyesopen7946 Yes. I visited Ukraine about 5 years ago and am of Eastern European heritage. Hence my name which is the anglicized version of Dina. Why do you ask?
@@eyesopen7946 Civil unrest! Russian aggression, lies and propaganda. The Donbas and Crimea are part of Ukraine. If people in the Donbas prefer to go live in Russia that is fine. They can...just emigrate. Not one word from Putin's lips or from his government (although it is in fact now a dictatorship) should even be heard, never mind believed and the free world know it.
He refused to believe Porton Down's conclusion that Novichok was used in the Salisbury poisoning, and wanted an independent international investigation, and await the verdict of that, before holding Russia responsible.
This should be interesting. I voted for Corbyn twice. Since the Ukrainian war started I keep thinking to myself thank god Corbyn didn't convince anyone to disarm our nuclear weapons. I have been very disappointed with the left wing response to this war.
...definitely don't like his point of view on NATO. When the world is riddled with genocidal sociopaths like Putin... disbanding NATO is totally unacceptable.
It's happened before, I supported Labour until their lame response to the Falklands Invasion. When the Telegraph advises its readers how to help select the Labour leader, you know they had a problem.

I wish that he would not try to put him "the right" to the guest mouth. I just wondering who wrote his script. One thing is clear this war is not Ukraine vs Russia. This war is escalation decades long tension between two powers USA and Russia. Ukraine is battlefield and Zelensky is still acting actor, not politician. 🇪🇺 +UK, Ukraine, Russian people are victims.
Agree. He is a very decent human being, perhaps, however, he should have pushed back against ridiculous accusations of anti semitism, in the more effective way that Jean Luc Melanchon did in France
Jeremy Corbin is the last decent politician in the UK, despite the almost hysterical behavior of the journalist trying to corner him, he does not back off from his principles
