Andrew Neil

Unread post by barney »

I watched the Andrew Neil politics show yesterday, and AT LAST someone has starting digging out these guys who put themselves up to be on TV and then speak rubbish.

He slaughtered UKIPs Carswell about the unture figures they were putting about concerning the UK financial contribution. Even when shown his figures were wrong and why they were wrong, Carswell still wouldn't back down. Total Idiot.

He also slaughtered the Tory IN MP for talking crap and stating made up rubbish as fact.
Particularly the rubbish about 'The Jungle coming to Kent'
He simply asked the guy why camps would be set up in England and they chap was completely flustered. Very embarrassing for him.
Then he went on to ask why he said that the French would abandon the bi-lateral agreement ref borders, when they actually said the opposite. Again the chap was flummoxed.

Unfortunately Andrew Marr didn't have such good luck with Boris.
He asked him a question and then constantly interupted his answer which made him look a bit of a tool to be honest.
At one stage he said this is the Andrew Marr show not the Boris Johnson show. Makes you wonder why they invited him on.

Still it's nice to see them put on the spot and hopefully it will put an end to project fear and they will start talking about the positives of staying in.

As a small business owner and on balance, I'm still leaning towards leave but I'm open to be convinced that staying in has it's virtues, if it has.

It does bug me when the interviewer keeps interrupting when the interviewee is trying to answer a question but, equally, when the interviewee dodges the question, often the interviewers let it drop instead of pursuing the matter.

When I was deputy manager at a local radio station one of our MPs complained that our breakfast presenter had asked the same question 7 times. I said "yes, but you didn't answer it once ".
