Andrew Neil rolled out the normal inane and predictable points and questions , approached it in a brusque and totally inappropriate manner and Choudrary actually fended them all without raising sweat ( or even his voice ) .
A woefully disappointing spectacle ( and lost opportunity ) which will only strengthen his support from his following.
Bring out Paxman..................
I thought Neil did well. Paxman would not have fared any better with such a person as Choudary. He evaded all the questions, but interestingly said "you'll have to wait and find out" when Neil pressed him on what the new name for his group would be.
Choudary is all the more dangerous because, like many of his ilk, not only is he clearly well-versed in evasiveness but also, like Macbeth's three witches, very good at equivocation when pressed. He claimed he never said "all adulterers, especially women, should be stoned to death"...but later went on to say that everyone should be subject to Sharia law.
An odious individual.
