She's stumbling through this but it's not a disaster. Of course, being allowed not to answer the question helps.
 
Corbyn was correct though.

But you absolutely can control the number of policemen you can hire.
You can aspire to aim X number within however many years- achieving that is something else.
 
Once again im not going to say what im going to do, we haven't had a chance see
 
She is a bit more poised than I expected, agreed. Let's see how Paxman goes, as per our earlier convo!

To be fair though a 10 year old could have told her these questions would be coming and all these answers are prewritten by her team.
 
All her answers seem to be "find out after you elect me"
If you pay attention you'll notice that she doesn't ever actually answer anything. Vague answers about aspirations that never hit on particularities.
 
Think May has done fine so far. Corbyn probably better, but think that's more due to his personality and his passion.
 
From Spiked's Brendan O'Neill on FB:

"Jeremy Paxman is such an oafish, boorish barker of pointless questions, like that angry drunk uncle who ruins the family barbecue by yelling "BALLS" at anyone who disagrees with him. Who seriously thinks this is good journalism? If Corbyn or May tell him to feck off they'll instantly win tens of thousands of new voters, possibly including me."
 
She's getting heckled :D she'll fall apart any minute.
 
They're laughing at her :lol:

Maybot malfunction.

It's very interesting Dobba. I remember Question Time in Thatcher's era and every week for years the audience were angry and enraged at the Tory reps until the time came there was a sea change, and they started laughing at them. It was the beginning of the end, you could feel it.
 
so then why did May fail every time?
Because setting arbitrary targets is pointless. There are so many things beyond a government's control, which people don't realise, particularly around the economy.
 
To be fair though a 10 year old could have told her these questions would be coming and all these answers are prewritten by her team.
Tbf, the answers Corbyn gave echoed those in the Neil interview.
 
Maybots record has been called out by a Policeman, Teacher and now a Nurse.

She seems to ignore their point and claim to have increased funding for all 3.
