Remainer threatened into silence after consistent interruptions during Brexit debate
TALK SHOW guest Terry Christian was threatened to have "a piece of paper" shoved in his mouth to make him stop talking after he repeatedly interrupted Brexit-backing co-panellist Carole Malone.
Brexit: Jeremy Vine SHOUTS at Terry Christian during debate
Jeremy Vine threatened Mr Christian after he repeatedly interrupted Ms Malone as she attempted to answer a question on Brexit. Mr Vine could be seen growing frustrated with the British broadcaster as he kept on intervening while his co-panellist tried to make her point by asking alternative question on her predictions for Britain leaving the European Union. When Mr Christian interrupted once again, the Jeremy Vine on Five host snapped: "Terry, Terry, can I just say something? When you ask a question, and I’ve done that a bit in my career – stop talking for a second.
"Don’t say a thing for 10 seconds. When you ask a question, you listen and you don’t say anything.
"If you say anything more, I’ll take a piece of paper and put it in your mouth. Let her answer."
Mr Christian continued to appear on the verge of butting in as Ms Malone tried to deliver her answer, prompting Mr Vine to renew his warning: "Don’t you dare."
Carole Malone put up with the interruption, delivering a scathing rebuttal of her fellow panellist's behaviour: "This is my frustration with Remainers. They aren’t prepared to listen.

"They have their own idea of how it’s going to be."
When finally allowed to speak during the feisty debate, the British commentator insisted quitting the European Union would allow Britain to strike trade deals with new international partners.
As she branded the bloc a "protectionist carter, Ms Malone said: "We will be able to do our own trade deals, we will not be dependent on the EU and their tariffs."
But earlier this week, British MEP Daniel Hannan claimed Brussels has intervened to prevent the UK from striking a new deal with the United States.
Mr Hannan said Theresa May’s relentless and blinkered pursuit of a trade deal with the EU has shelved more than half a dozen other offers from huge nations that are quite literally queuing round the block to trade with Britain.
Jeremy Hunt claims 'British politicians listen to what people say'
The South East of England MEP said that because of Mrs May’s pursuit of a trade deal with the bloc could then rub-off on the next Tory leader and Prime Minister, Britain - and the long list of such nations - could remain in limbo until the no deal-withdrawal agreement stalemate is finally over.
In a piece penned for the Daily Telegraph, he said: “Let me put this as simply as I can. Australia has offered us a trade deal. America has offered us a trade deal. China has offered us a trade deal. Brazil has offered us a trade deal.
“Indeed every major economy in the world is offering us a trade deal except the EU. "Isn’t it time to switch partners?”
Australia said at the end of last year it was more than ready to trade with the UK, with Donald Trump echoing that sentiment just weeks ago when he visited Britain for his state visit.

International Trade Secretary Liam Fox in March announced the British Government had signed a £369m-a-year deal with Fiji and Papua New Guinea. He also confirmed he had brokered trade talks with Iceland and Norway.
While in charge of the department, Dr Fox has also struck deals with the Chile, Switzerland and the Faroe Islands.
Tory leadership frontrunner Boris Johnson insisted he would make sure Britian quit the EU "with or without a deal" if he is elected Prime Minister.
Mr Johnson said he remained committed to seek the agreement of Brussels to reopen negotiations with the bloc but would be willing to get out of the EU without an arrangement to deliver on the demands of the British public.
On Tuesday the former Foreign Secretary confirmed once again the UK will be out of the European Union "do or die."
Speaking to talkRADIO, he said: "We are getting ready to come out on 31 October. Come what may,
"Do or die. Come what may."
He added: "It’s got to be, we need a new withdrawal agreement – if we’re going to go out on the basis of a withdrawal agreement."
