What a contrast between these two interviews on Today this morning.
1. Robert Jenrick - he had me spitting feathers. What a complete waste of time. He reminded me of the uncooperative child who sticks his fingers in his ears and shouts "lah-di-dah" repeatedly. He might just as well have said "No comment" to every question, like a criminal being interviewed down the nick. Come to think of it .... Typical of this worthless bunch.
2. Eddie Jacobs being interviewed about his book. Talk about inspiration. A Jew who was taken by the SS in 1938 (never to see his parents again) and a survivor of concentration camps including Auschwitz, he has just become a centenarian. He refuses to hate. His book is called "The Happiest Man on Earth". Hearing him speak is a revelation. He spoke intelligently and without hesitation (wish I could do that, at a quarter century his junior) and this is his second language.
If you missed it, here's the link:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000p8c6. The interview starts at 2.23.20 or thereabouts. I've since discovered there's a TED talk he gave in May last year on Youtube. It's nice to see him as well as hear.
Edit- spelling mistake
