LDVideo: Julian ‘most intelligent MP’ Huppert explains the Higgs boson to Andrew Neil

(Available on the BBC website here.)

I too, am astonished.
Like Andrew Neil concluded ” Amazed…… getting straight answers from a politician !!”.

Andrew Neil’s intro was an interesting example of the way in which some media people are almost proud of being ignorant about science – down to mispronouncing the name of the particle as ‘bosun’.
