You and I fundamentally disagree on Iraq.

I think what you did in Iraq was horrific.

I think what Tony Blair did was horrific.

That's something you and I will never agree on.

And if we were having an Iraq debate, we'd probably get very, very lively now where we'd probably be shouting at each other.

But I still come on the show.

First of all, I don't think you're a fascist or a traitor, obviously.

Rupert Lowe, these people on the right just throw around these ridiculous phrases.

But, you know, I wouldn't come on the show to do the show with you if you were just abusing me as a Muslim, right?

All I'm trying to say is we all have our red lines and our hygiene tests.

And, you know, some people draw the line here, some people draw the line there.

And I think, you know, for me, I'm in a position now where I was more hard line on my lines, as it were.

But now I just want to talk to as many people I can within reason, right?

Within reason.

I've still got to have some kind of hygiene test.

Like, if you ask me, would I have Tommy Robinson on my show?

No, I don't think there's any value in having Tommy Robinson on for an interview.

It would only help him and his cause.

It's not like we'd have any kind of good faith conversation.

And I do think that's an important criteria when we judge who we're going to talk to.
