    I wasn't gonna say anything write anything about this as 1) I'm not sure this is the right thread to say what I am about to and 2) me and TheAnimus have had disagreements in the past and it can sometimes end up sounding like 2 bald men fighting over a comb but........

    All leaders end up being cosy with certain other leaders whose actions/policies/behaviour can be thought of as questionable. If you had a five minute interview with every leader in the world, you wouldn't discuss anything else going on that logic.

    I think you are confusing being anti Israel and anti Zionist with anti Semitism. And if you're not, then what has brought you to that conclusion?

    Like I said, this is probably the wrong place so to the powers that be, feel free to move or remove this post, but I don't think it right to call someone an anti-Semite without having to back it up or at least be questioned on it.

    People are failing to see the point imo. That is, for the coup! Red Ken, major politico, it's a "because we could" chance you've just got to nab, if just for the hell of it. I thought it was cool

    HEXUS isn't going to get political, it's just not in the HEXUS creed, as a fiercely independent technology portal & reviews site.

    And I think that's the point some people are trying to make, as the interview seemed to have no technology related reference, all it was was an interview with a politician on subjects other than technology.

    Unlike say the interview with Robert Llewellyn as he is a major tech head and showed it in the interview.

    You could of just asked Ken about what he thinks of twitter and blogging as a political tool and how much of a roll the internet plays for a campaign, that would of then created a base point other than "Look there's Ken livingstone let's get an interview with him."

    EDIT: I still think this is a scoop for Hexus, I personally don't think Hexus should be interviewing people just because they are well known to the general public.
