This is the remarkable row between Maajid Nawaz and Peter Hitchens live on LBC.

The Mail On Sunday columnist was furious right from the beginning of the interview - and just got angrier and angrier as the discussion went on.

Mr Hitchens labelled Maajid "ignorant" and "moronic" after he suggested that cannabis causes less harm than alcohol and so should be regulated.

The interview started off angry - as Mr Hitchens accuses Maajid at length of not letting him speak and then refuses to even let the host ask him any questions.

The interview continued with the columnist raising his voice more and more, but when he suggested that gangsters selling drugs is no worse than businesses regulating it, Maajid wouldn't let him get away with it.

Maajid said: "Come on Peter, cynical businessmen make money, they don't kill people, that's an absurd thing you've just said.

"Now it's my turn to tell you that you've said something moronic."
