Igirisu gin

Sometimes harrowing, mostly funny as fuck. The inimitable Pete Doherty is grilled by one of the toughest political commentators the BBC has to offer, Kirsty Wark.

The tone is set by the dark, brooding background and Kirsty wastes no time in going straight for the jugular. This time last year she was considerably more polite, but sensing blood after a year of tabloid ruminations she jumps straight in with a double barrel of: "are you taking heroin?...are you taking crack?".

At first he segues into a little reggae tune, for all the world looking like he really has lost the plot and then suddenly quips "What ya gettin at?" Fucking classic, he might be a little boy lost in the clouds but he still has the makings of Kirsty.

There's nothing better than a journalist getting their comeuppance, especially when they're supposed to be 'highbrow'. For all her politcal background she really was exposed as the schadenfreude that she is, merely trying to profit from others misfortune. This was clearly a setup from the start, they wheeled him in hoping to piss all over some inarticulate crackhead. Shame on you Kirsty, this was nothing but the basest tabloid journalism dressed up like a Primark shop mannequin.
