What an utterly pointless interview. Pointless questions and far to much interrupting from Paxman to get any sort of decent answer anyway. Paxman's an arse.
General Election 2017 | Cabinet reshuffle: Hunt re-appointed Health Secretary for record third time
- Thread starter altodevil

I wonder which Israelis Corbyn met with in order to talk.
Didn't seem to be anything on the policies in the manifesto, just a character assassination going over stuff Corbyn said in the past.
Paxman asking about the Falklands War. Absolutely pointless and irrelevant. He's bonkers. 
Paxman is a right wing cnut. Shit interview but it was a hit job and probably achieved their purpose
He wasn't upset for him, he was ashamed of him.
Would be nice, but it seems that Paxman wanted to focus on judgement/character. Corbyn was pretty shifty throughout, with the questions on benefits and terrorism standing out for the wrong reasons.
May has to look noticeably better though, given her comparably lower starting point.
"Strong and stable" sweepstake?
wise woman.
Vote Labour!
Vote Labour!
Where the feck is Paxman/May?
He's off to have a quick tug to save himself embarrassment later.
Corbyn has had a good night.
Paxman has made a fool of himself, completely forgetting the purpose of his role. Not one question in that dialogue related to how Corbyn may or may not effectively lead the country.
What a fecking waste of time.

Shot on every utterance?

Why? Corbyn wouldn't defend them in the event of a second invasion, nor would he rule out talks with Argentina on sovereignty.
Living within our means
May telling a policeman how to do his job
She's been told to bore us in to submission, hasn't she?
I'm not going mad, that question was about extra police officers wasn't it? Did she mention a number at all?
I bet Cameron goes for the social care issue though.
As an aside, would thoroughly recommend an owl flying experience day or afternoon- barn owls are awesome and silent in flight!
Holy shit she went full on 1984, we're raising numbers she said proudly
Dementia tax, good lad
I think Theresa has wind. Grimacing and shifting from side to side.
No. She just rambled on about the cyber and giving more powers to officers. More power is all well and good but the policeman was asking about having more numbers and wanted her to be specific.
That zoom on the old bloke
I love the Dementia Tax.
Breaking: People will be older in 10 years time.
I had a massive weekend over the last few days but my gurn game isn't anywhere close to the same league as hers.
The cost of social care is an issue that needs addressing tbf, but the Tories have just gone about it horrendously.
Not really. I did expect the moderator to call her out on it at least. Instead he couldn't move on quick enough.
Corbyn wouldn't on immigration tbf- spouting arbitrary numbers is pretty pointless in all honesty.
I think she's doing better than expected, as well.
May looks like she hates people when they ask questions
Corbyn was shite.
May is doing well... but she always does well when she isn't being interrupted.
Paxman hopefully will take apart

May is the most incompetent PM in a long time. Perhaps ever?
Cameron beats her, actually.

It's the Tory Bank Holiday sale. Vote now, get policies later.
Corbyn was correct though.
But you absolutely can control the number of policemen you can hire.
She is a bit more poised than I expected, agreed. Let's see how Paxman goes, as per our earlier convo!
