"I like people who get it, so when you say something, they get what you're saying and you don't have to repeat it to them" says man, answering question he didn't get and had repeated to him
-
I love the fact that he has been with his wife for 53 years and family is the most important thing to him.. Lots of other successful business men dump the wives for younger models. Shows a genuine guy imo.
-
He put down that silly quotas question so hard hahah and rightly so
-
Not going to lie...Some of these questions had me well and truly triggered!
-
This guy is a great person in my opinion. He is a great role model, an inspiration coming out of England. A perfect example of the difference between the private sector and politicians.
-
I recognise some of these guys from the beach in Marbella. Multitasking, resourceful chaps. You decide what our Al was on about here.
-
Lord Sugar has worked hard in his life. There are not many others in the room due to life’s circumstances who will need to work as hard.
-
great talk by Lord Shugar
-
Great answers Lord Sugar.thank you to Oxford Union for another great guest.
-
Why do you arrange the chairs like that? Anybody complaining of stiff neck afterwards? I think I got phantom neck pain seeing the audience twisting their bodies.
-
'netflix and chill', some of these questions were silly and pissed Lord Sugar off, looked like he just wanted to leave asap
-
Would have been perfect if he said, 'you're fired!' To the first guy asking the questions.
-
Lord sugar!
-
Watching from New Zealand. I totally agree @ Indianawill1
-
Small businesses are the backbone of the economy. Like Lord Sugar the tax paid back to the UK government helps the nation and services .
-
He asks a good question at 26:50
-
Love him, no bullshit.
-
After having heard the debate back in 1964 between Baldwin and Buckley, I am taken aback by the fact that Oxford is going down the drain!!
-
I hope i will be accepted to Oxford as my father and my brothers were
-
So interesting to hear his thoughts and views across such a vast range of questions.
