New Found Respect for Louis

Ive been a fan of Louis's for a while but only just got round to seeing this, and have to say I now respect Louis more than ever.

He is very good at just sitting back and asking the questions, but here is the first time I have seen him really ask the right questions and didnt mind upsetting them. Heck by the end he was even telling them they are wrong. When he told the woman she needed therapy literally made me laugh out loud. Legend.

Lastly I felt very sorry for those two girls, knowing they are going to end up just like their mum.

I agree with you. Louis is indeed an awesome person and I wish there were more of him in the world - I like it how extremely open minded and genuinely interested he is in people and really good at not judging anyone. And daring to go hang out with such dangerous people, that's the spirit of true journalism - objectively showing the facts. I admire him the most for his ability not to disclose whether he was a Jew or not even under such pressure. The scene reminded me of those straight people who say they're in favour of LGBT but never forget to stress out how they are not one. I assume he is not really a Jew but he was aware that saying "I'm not one" would mean "it's okay guys, I'm safe, I'm better than them". So rather than throwing some other group under the wheels, he risked his own safety. Respect.
