Williamson I asked you a straight question we can talk about tributes to the to the health services in a minute do you regret using that kind of casual language that's the question could you answer that question please well what we saw is we saw an atrocious attack on British soil you saw British you know British citizen and his daughter that were targeted and actually how we responded to that is the world united behind bridge mr. Williamson please answer the question mr. Williamson mr. Williamson you're not just not answering the question am i mr. Williamson I'm asking the question not on my behalf but on behalf of our viewers so on behalf of the viewers would you please answer the question do you now regret telling a nation-state to shut up and go away do you think that was too casual an expression can you please answer that question well I I think I think if I think that what everyone saw is Russia's attractions against our our citizens a anaise in a city here in the United Kingdom oh what happened in the city we know what in Salisbury we know how atrocious it was we know how close these people came to death the question is I'll try it one more time do you regret using very casual Trump s language like shut up and go away please don't tell me what happened because we know what happened do you regret using that language that is the question well what what was right is actually we came together with our allies and my interview terminated because you won't answer the question good luck with the the African elephant a project that is an excellent thing to do but um would be helped if you answered a straight question with a straight answer that was the defense secretary Kevin Williamson there also joined by Major James Cowan they were talking about troops being deployed to Malawi and not talking about issues like he'd give him a straight question it would've been so easy to say no I don't I think it was an appropriate expression or to say yes probably on reflects I should have perhaps been a little more formal
