Right wing hack James Delingpole was so owned on This Week it hurts
If you only watch two minutes of political discussion this week then please, please make it this.
It’s Brexit-loving right wing hack James Delingpole – Breitbart, Daily Telegraph, you get the picture – being totally owned by Andrew Neil and guests on This Week and it’s brutal and very, very funny.
James Delingpole’s humiliatingly clueless performance on #thisweek is the best ever advert for avoiding a no-deal Brexit.pic.twitter.com/ZwyenfBFke

It was so bad, in fact, that someone was moved to do this to his Wikipedia page.

‘James Delingpole was an English writer [and] executive editor for Breitbart London … He was murdered by questioning from Andrew Neil on the 24th January 2019 edition of This Week.’
Here are our favourite other things people said about it.
Siri, did my favourite little clueless Breitbart gherkin make me the star of a painfully dreary hit-piece last year & if so please show me a clip of him making an absolute tool of himself on live TV. Cheers. https://t.co/uA0t4ZQdsK

James Delingpole is surely the least impressive person in Britain today.

Depressing. Delingpole as clueless about Brexit as he is about climate change. Yet he still gets invited on mainstream talk shows to provide 'his point of view' which, as always, is hilariously bereft of any contribution at all to the discussion. https://t.co/stE7eERJEi

Walking Daily Express headline James Delingpole makes unhinged film for #bbctw about how marvellous WTO terms are. Neil asks why US would do trade deal if we’ve already eliminated our tariffs. Delingpole casually replies he doesn’t know. The English ruling class, ladies and gents
