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.

TM is waffling!

UterusUterusGhali · 29/05/2017 21:39

I didn't watch because I knew he'd do that. The BBC's anti-Corbyn thing is reeeeaaally getting tiresome.

John Humphreys is the same on radio 4. Can't listen to the smug twat.

YANBU- as pp said, even if he's the same to May. That's not a tough interview- making sure your interview answers the questions- which is the style he's going for. He was just interrupting and talking over him without letting him have a chance to answer.

Here we go...

OxfordshireLass · 29/05/2017 21:42

YA definitely not BU, Paxman is coming across as a grumpy old man. I want to listen to what both candidates believe and think rather than listen to that permanently cross c*ckwomble

I've done a massive u-turn on Corbyn in the last couple of weeks - from being a fully laid up Blairite to wanting JC to be our next PM. However, both Andrew Neil and Jeremy Paxman just seem obsessed with his supposed views and comments from 30 odd years ago. It's tedious and completely irrelevant to where we are now.

And, with this first question with TM it looks like he is going the same way.

I do wish that interviewers would answer the question then shut the fuck up and allow the person being interviewed to answer.

Apparently he said he's a one nation Tory

YOU ARE DEFINITELY ABSOLUTELY NOT BEING UNREASONABLE!

Didyoumeantobesorude1 · 29/05/2017 21:43

Oh good, he's being just as rude to her.

BurnTheBlackSuit · 29/05/2017 21:44

Wow. Teresa May doesn't believe in Brexit - and can't even lie about it!

Didyoumeantobesorude1 · 29/05/2017 21:45

He's really a tit.

Tiredemma · 29/05/2017 21:46

I don't think he is being as aggressive with her as he was JC

blamethecat · 29/05/2017 21:46

She looks so uncomfortable.
He's giving her more time to answer.

BillyButtfuck · 29/05/2017 21:47

This is more like a friendly chat, with banter - he was aggressive towards JC

Awks · 29/05/2017 21:48

Dick. She's getting such an easier ride.

BaggyCheeks · 29/05/2017 21:48

YANBU. He's being a knob, I think a bit less so to TM, but still a knob.

MissionItsPossible · 29/05/2017 21:48

A rich man's Jeremy Kyle.

TheRollingCrone · 29/05/2017 21:48

He is an utter tool. Well past his best. Obviously some sort of mid life crisis - leaving his partner of years and mother of his children for a much younger woman. What a fucking cliché he is.

BurnTheBlackSuit · 29/05/2017 21:49

He is a lot more friendly with her. He has a much softer less shouty voice now.

MissusBea · 29/05/2017 21:49

He sounds like a child asking the same question about brexit endlessly.

surferjet · 29/05/2017 21:49

He's a bully.

Awks · 29/05/2017 21:50

He ain't bullying her though.

ineedamoreadultieradult · 29/05/2017 21:51

I had to turn it off because I couldn't stand JP. If you are going to ask a question you have to be prepared to listen to the answer. I was hoping to learn something and form an opinion on who to vote for. Instead I'm watching a programme about car crashes in Poland!

EpoxyResin · 29/05/2017 21:51

To be fair him giving her more time to talk is giving her more time to hang herself.
