paul allison we all views on steve coogan on steve coogan. that we're all flag waving idiots. >> well, as a flag waving idiot, i i'd rather go for i think i'd rather go for a dnnk i think i'd rather go for a drink with alan partridge than with his creator, steve coogan, as you said. so patrick multi—millionaire socialist has got very, very wealthy on the backs of lots of us flag, flag waving idiots. i thought it backs of lots of us flag, flag waving idiots . i thought it was waving idiots. i thought it was quite extraordinary that he said that the royals support this system with a foot on the throat of the working class in fact, the king, king charles, as the prince of wales has done more for disadvantaged young people working class people, than steve coogan ever has. so i think he's a complete hypocrite. and also, as you say, joyless , because the as you say, joyless, because the vast majority of people in this country , they love the monarchy. country, they love the monarchy. they it. it's a system they admire it. it's a system that's for u

and i'm no great big steve coogan fan. i like steve coogan.0. >> that's what this is all about. >> in 2001, in a programme called brain candy on baby cow productions. brain candy. look it i episodes. i made it up. i did 13 episodes. i made a of money and wife a tonne of money and my wife didn't me that month. didn't divorce me that month. and of royal family are and fans of the royal family are flag waving idiots. quote unquote, says steve coogan . and unquote, says steve coogan. and according to the telegraph, fans of the royal family are flag waving idiots. of the royal family are flag waving idiots . steve coogan has waving idiots. steve coogan has said that's what the telegraph says. but that's not what steve coogan says. what did he see? steve coogan said most people who are into the royal family are flag waving people who i think are kind of idiots because they support a power structure that keeps the foot on the throats of working class people and i'm not really keen on that type of people. that's even worse. no, it isn't. >> it's all s

steve coogan does in future?ere are so few jewish people uk. about people in the uk. there's about 300,000. it's barely a, you know, scintilla of a number of know, a scintilla of a number of people. so that wouldn't make a difference. neither here nor there. i would simply say to steve coogan, educate yourself. okay. have a look at the situation of freedom in gaza and even in the in in the west bank, where artists are routinely locked up, if not worse , educate locked up, if not worse, educate yourself and then make a decision. >> look, david, thank you very much. and it's good to see that you are keeping safe in tel aviv. as david mentioned, there is a middle east expert and a former director of the labour friends of israel, just to say as those are those are as well, those are those are live scenes of gaza. of course, all of the lovely celebrities who have decided to sign this letter would probably look at that and say maybe it justifies what they're saying. of course, we support the global movement against the

>> steve coogan. steve >> steve coogan. steve >> steve coogan. steve >> steve coogan?e transitioning into a sort of left wing version of alan partridge. he said that the royal family or people who support the royal family are do flag waving idiots, right? which seems a bit unfair. i mean, i think some people, some people support the royal family for perfectly well thought out reasons. he said that the royal family are emblematic of a class system that's kept its foot on the throat of working class british people . and i think british people. and i think that's that's a bit of a nonsense. if anything, it's socialist ideology that's keeping that's keeping british working class people down. and also the royal family aren't even that posh, the real posh people britain look down people in britain look down on the because they're the royal family because they're not rich or they're not not that rich or they're not even that english, to be honest . even that english, to be honest. it's interesting that steve coogan , i mean, if he really coogan, i mean, if he really believes
