Paxman being super obnoxious

+1

How fucking dense can this man be.

 

[Memento Mori]

I can't understand the reasoning behind Paxman, as a pro-Tory being involved in a electoral debate.

I mean Paxman was the best interviewer in Britain. On tonight's evidence he's out of practice.

 

[JonathanEx]

We're just getting questions on 'what people said' vs 'what the manifesto says' which is a bit dull.

Edit: Oh look, another one of that, and he answered fairly well.

I hope this gets more interesting, and that he hauls May over for the remain support. That's gone quiet for a bit.

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

Corbyn going for the one-two punch.

 

[Pyroclastic]

paxman has jumped the shark

 

[empyrean]

What is paxo talking about. Fuck off bangig on about the monachary.

 

[Real Hero]

This is sooooo frustrating

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Why can't you answer my questions?

Well, Mr. Paxman, I'm tr...

WHY CAN'T YOU ANSWER MY QUESTIONS!

 

[Roberto Larcos]

Headlines will be terrible for Corbyn coming out of this. Looking forward to the same questions for May:

"So, Mrs May, you've done a fantastic job with Brexit so far - how will you manage to live up to the high standards you yourself have set in the five years to come?"

 

[UnblessedSoul]

Terrible interview, your beliefs are not in the manifesto, how's that working out for you? zzzz

 

[Jezbollah]

I think I saw X-Pac in the audience.

 

[Pyramid head]

The audience are laughing at your blind flailing, Paxman.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

If we get one more 'someone said something 10 years ago which isn't in the manifesto, you suck' question then I'm going to stop watching University Challenge out of principle - and we're the defending champions!

 

[slider]

Corbyn should turn to the audience and say "look, Paxo isn't getting it but I'm working with / for consensus with the shadow cabinet".

 

[Wes]

Paxman's whole problem with Corbyn is that he's not leading the Labour party as a dictator. It's just helping how Corbyn looks.

 

[jelly]

Get fucked Paxman. May better be fucking grilled for her dreamland Brexit philosophy.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Paxman is so insufferable.

Was he always like this? Was this always his style?

I feel like Corbyn is internally saying "Fuck off"

 

[Empty]

Paxman's whole problem with Corbyn is that he's not leading the Labour party as a dictator. It's just helping how Corbyn looks.

yes it makes him look more moderate but also combines with his message that strong leadership is about listening and collaborating not shouting

 

[nOoblet16]

I think he is leading this question to make it look like "Corbyn has no plan"

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Paxman's being such a dick Corbyn is coming off really well, I think, just by contrast.

 

[D4Danger]

"are you going to negotiate with Europe?"
"yes."
"go on then. do it now."

what a clown

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

I've learned nothing about Corbyn, Labour or the manifesto from Paxman. The audience questions were better than this nonsense.

 

[Wes]

They've been making promises for 3 elections running and haven't met any of them - that was a nice riposte.

 

[nOoblet16]

The audience questions were better.

This is all about what he said you said

 

[RangerX]

Corbyn is doing really well here. Not sure why Paxman is so hostile to a manifesto built by political consensus.

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

Todays Google cards have given me more info about Labour than Paxman has so far,

 

[Avtomat]

Pacman better be this much of a douche when he interviews Theresa May.

This is embarrassing

 

[JonathanEx]

Paxman's style sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. And I think with only this one occasion every few years to do interviews, it's not right.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

I'll rephrase.

Paxman is worse than a piece of shit.

 

[PJV3]

Paxman is so insufferable.

He got very rich, wrote a book about us being beastly to the generals of WWI and disappeared up his own arse. He's been useless for years, he's relying on his old reputation.

Of course he won't be.

Fuck Paxman, seriously.

 

[nOoblet16]

Thing is if he goes soft on May then wouldn't a lot of public also think she is "doing well"? Cause all they'll see is one person having a rather difficult time with lots of interruptions and character questions Vs easy shit.

 

[Tregard]

"There's nothing in there about getting rid of the monarchy so we're not going to do it"

Audience loved that, get the feeling they're not warming to Paxman atm

 

[Hazzuh]

I think Paxman watched the Labour leadership debates/hustings (2015 or the shitty sequel) and decided that Corbyn's big weakness is that he is easily riled and decided to try and get him to snap. The problem is Corbyn is much better understand pressure now than he was a year ago so it is just annoying the audience.

 

[Rubbish King]

somebody give the cunt a fucking dictionary

 

[Gareth Bale]

"20 years ago you said this"

"20 years ago you said that"

 

[jelly]

He got very rich, wrote a book about us being beastly to the generals of WWI and disappeared up his own arse. He's been useless for years, he's relying on his old reputation.

He also did some shit tier inside the EU documentary that should have explained how day to day it works but no, it was such a load of one sided shit.

Of course, unfortunately.

Yea that's the idea

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

Hamas kill civilians, but you're still friends?

America kills civi.........oh!

 

[Beefy]

What is it with so many interviewers that have to shout aggressively?

 

[D4Danger]

Mr Corbyn, why won't you condemn this hypothetical scenario?

 

[Tregard]

The Osama Bin Laden tragedy line. Wow.

 

[Linkified]

Paxman throwing softballs at Corbyn - and Corbyn fluffing it just when I'm coming around on certain Labour manifesto pledges. But that is all they are.

Corbyn was zen as fuck. I'd have punched Paxman and done a runner by 15 minutes in.

 

[Jezbollah]

To try and make them tilt, basically. It's better for ratings.

 

[Fergie]

Well I hope he's that annoying to May.

 

[chromatic9]

Surely a fantasy of Corbyn to mention tariff free single market access while acknowledging UK is leaving the EU and freedom of movement is going to end

This has happened a few times and is stated in the manifesto so it's not just tonight

 

[nOoblet16]

The Osama Bin Laden tragedy line. Wow.

Still taking things out of context to sling mud.
