To think that Jeremy Paxman is a twat

No matter what your politics and I am no Corbyn fan, what a bully and self centred bellend Paxman is. Let the man answer; it's not about you Paxman.

Agree, twat.

AdalindSchade · 29/05/2017 21:20

It was pathetic wasn't it?

WhatwouldRuthdo · 29/05/2017 21:21

He's Jeremy Kyle for politics. Nasty shouty man. YANBU.

Didyoumeantobesorude1 · 29/05/2017 21:22

YANBU. But the DM are already saying that Corbyn was rattled by the questions.
It will indeed be interesting to see how he treats May.
In other news has Paxman had his face botoxed? Something not quite normal about it.

blamethecat · 29/05/2017 21:23

Didn't expect him to behave any other way. He did seem fixated on Corbyn's personal beliefs though, personally I don't want a pm that forces their own personal beliefs on us instead of the party they represent. (Too many personals there!)

20nil · 29/05/2017 21:24

I thought JC did ok really. He's obviously been trained to death and didn't lose it like he used to. I certainly would have throttled Paxman.

He's become a parody of himself

ComingUpTrumps · 29/05/2017 21:25

Wonder if Paxman's a Tory voter?I've got a sneaky suspicion that he is.

(Jeremy, if you're reading this and you aren't, please don't sue me for libel Wink)

20nil · 29/05/2017 21:25

Yes, face did look very umm, smooth.

Didn't Paxman admit to being a Tory after he left Newsnight?

It was the same with Andrew Neil the other night, aggressively questioning Corbyn for 15 minutes about IRA sympathies and associations with individuals who are now MAIN STREAM politicians. I want to know Corbyn's policies and plans for the present and future not who he spoke to 20 years ago. His tone and manner were completely different when interviewing TM. Shabby journalism!

ComingUpTrumps · 29/05/2017 21:26

He's probably got a few portraits of himself, Dorian Gray-style, hung up in his attic at home DidYouMean Grin

Doobydoo · 29/05/2017 21:27

Perfect Grin

CaptainHammer · 29/05/2017 21:27

Yanbu. I just said pretty much the same thing to DH.

MangosAndPapayas · 29/05/2017 21:28

He's past his best Paxman.

He used to be good, firm and persistent journalist.

He now has become a total carcicature and thinks that interrupting and talking over someone makes him look masterful.

In fact, he looks like an interrupting twat.

Basic rule: if you are an interviewer asking someone a question, don't interrupt them. You aren't the reason people are interested.

needmorespace · 29/05/2017 21:28

yanb - Paxman is a complete dickhead
Corbyn acquitted himself with great dignity

DonaldStott · 29/05/2017 21:29

He was pathetic. He made himself look like a total twat.

His questions were fucking pathetic too. They seemed irrelevant. All JC wants to do is talk about labours manifesto and Paxman wouldn't let him het a word in. Andrew Neil the other night was the same.

It was not a balanced interview.

I will be interested to see how he treats May.

BifsWif · 29/05/2017 21:29

YANBU.

How does everyone think May is doing so far? I think she's a bit wobbly.

Awks · 29/05/2017 21:30

Too many middle aged old dinosaurs on telly and he's one of them. Disrespectful twat.

blamethecat · 29/05/2017 21:32

She's not really answered anything properly. Lots of well we will sort that once we have got the election out the way.

Terfing · 29/05/2017 21:35

If he was female, he'd never get away with his rudeness!

sunnydalegottobedone · 29/05/2017 21:35

I just want this song to start blaring out. She looks so uncomfortable - how the hell can she negotiate anything for us!

Agreeeeeeee, I've had to come to bed as I can't stand his voice any longer! His ego is sooo huge....

DJBaggySmalls · 29/05/2017 21:37

I'm not Corbyns biggest fan, but he is coming across very well not just on his own merits, but also by comparison.

Awks · 29/05/2017 21:37

She's all over the place.
