There is a fine balance to be struck in the EU as the progressives try to assimilate the outsider whilst upholding the values of its Christian history.
Those seeking a better life in The EU should at least respect that history and not seek to overthrow the culture of their hosts.

            Charles, a king who cheated on his wife in the most brazen fashion decides to exercise his power and remove a title from his brother. Is this an act of hypocrisy or an attempt to protect the establishment as Mandelson, another Epstein associate seems to have retained his title.

Guests not separated by the host Vicky Young results in them having their own conversations. 
Unfair on this fine journalist and the set does nothing to further debate.
Another guest to her right further distracts the viewer
