I realize that as the interviewer he has to keep control of the program, but this habit goes far beyond what you would normally expect. I might add that it is extremely discourteous. ” and making sure to interrupt everyone I meet within 30 seconds of them opening their mouths.”

In many ways, the latter is the more difficult  — after all, anyone can be right-wing, given a few stiff drinks and a traumatic experience in a cultural studies lecture." Haha. Noice. “Of course, there are two prongs to being a right-wing Phillip Adams: you have to be right-wing; and you have to be a Phillip Adams.

And you really need to BELIEVE that the STIMULUS OF DOOM is going to KILL US ALL (i.e. you need an ever so slight tinge of insanity). But otherwise, I'm sold. Give Ben the job.

You've trained for the job, unlike the rest of the 100-strong right-wing commentariat.
