    It was a staged protest/March. None of the drivel you spout makes that fact untrue.

    Usually when they're either paid or invited.

    True, but I'm surprised they were mad enough to start another conflict when they're already losing on all the other fronts. This action is quite likely to speed up their elimination in Syria. Hopefully it will start to expose their backers in other ME countries, There may be an embassy or two in London that will be closed down soon as a result of this.

    If I were ISIS Iran is the last country I'd have a go at - Tehran will not hold back in their revenge.

    No one suggested he's pretending to be someone else, just that the BBC seems to like to pay him for his input....fine if he was an Imam but...

    As I said I appeared on the Audience of the Late Late Show on a number of occasions, no pay sadly. In fact now and again recently I have been asked did i want tickets to Question Time in Ireland, could not be bothered. Bet you will see some of the same faces on that.

    Well you have to apply for tickets to these shows & its a lottery for you to get them, then if your lucky enough you then have to queue to get in, first come first served. He must be very lucky because he always seems to get a very good seat

    Did you even watch the video? It's fairly obvious.

    Considering he introduced his friend a CoE vicar I think its safe to assume he has involvement with local church work of some sort.

    I got tickets for the late Late show in the 1990"s on numerous occasions with a weeks notice. I even got tickets for friends. Simply because I was under 30 and involved in debating.

    I have been recently asked did I want to go on Question & Answers in Ireland, also because I like politics, did not do on that as I would more than likely hit someone.

    They do when ever I got tickets to Late Late show the student guests did not go to the pre drinks with ordinary guests. We went to a office a few Drink given a outline of issues being raised during the show.

    That will be a good thing. Iran is one of the few countries fighting ISIS and also recognising Saudi Arabia as a major problem. Surely, some Western countries and even elements in America itself realise this but do not admit it. Saudi Arabian state sponsored terrorism needs to be tackled but never is because the West don't even recognise it. They know full well about all the dodgy groups the Saudis support but they are so locked into them as an oil supplier and have sadly not developed proper business relations with alternatives.

    Indeed, the difference in attitude re Saudi and Iran is hilarious and stupid. Neither are anything other than fairly rotten but one has oil. The other is at least gradually edging in the right direction.

    Iran has oil, lots of oil, just not as much as SA.

    Ah but who do they sell it to?

    from Wiki
    22% of its oil to China, 14% to Japan, 13% to India, 10% to South Korea, 7% to Italy, 7% to Turkey, 6% to Spain and the remainder to France, Greece (& other European countries), Taiwan, Sri Lanka, South Africa.

    Not the USA (obviously)!

    No offence but you cannot compare the BBC with RTE. Hell of a lot more people applying for tickets over there

    The only reason the Yanks have such a hard on for Iran is so they wont get on the wrong side of their Saudi overlords. The US is entirely beholden to two countries, China and Saudi Arabia. They are addicted to cheap chinese imports and Saudi oil and are keep afloat by cash from both. If the Saudis pulled the money they have invested in the US tomorrow it would fold like a deck of cards.
    The Yanks cant be seen to have any relationship with Iran for this reason (isrealis would flip the lid too) but in reality the facade is just that. Read a book recently where in the middle east they had a saying that the US and Iran shouted at one another over the table and shook hands below it.
    Iran are already involved supplying troops and hardware in the battle against ISIS.

    Can you tell us his name?
    Profession? Some details about him?
    Is there some reason he shouldn't be asked his opinion or appear on TV?

    I know for a fact people apply to Late Late over and over and not get tickets yet I got tickets 4 times in a couple of years.

    Question and Answers has a website where a person can apply for shows each week.

    Late Late show currently closed for tickets yet for Question and Answers I can apply for tickets for upcoming show. For example I can apply for tickets for London the 9th June.

    I know for a fact shows invite people they know will have something to say on audience shows.

    I know the facts don't fit your world view but the facts are the facts.
