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.

Questions on education?
NHS?
Social services?
Things that matter?

surferjet · 29/05/2017 21:52

He asks a question but doesn't let them answer, he's awful.

ChangingNameAgainCosOfTheMail · 29/05/2017 21:53

He's becoming like the Jeremy Kyle of political interviews.

MangosAndPapayas · 29/05/2017 21:53

She SERIOUSLY needs to work on her resting listening face. Her face shows too much her apprehension and hostility to Paxman. Her eyes narrow and her lips tighten very obviously.

ssd · 29/05/2017 21:53

he got her there

MitzyLeFrouf · 29/05/2017 21:53

I've missed Paxman. Glad to see him tonight.

movpov · 29/05/2017 21:54

Was thinking exactly the same as OP; he's a total twat & incredibly rude. I don't particularly like Corbyn or May but I do want to hear what they have to say to help me decide. A serious interviewer lets his interviewee answer the question without jumping in and shouting over them constantly. Terrible performance from him

surferjet · 29/05/2017 21:54

I wish she'd tell him to fuck off, she'd get an extra million votes.

Whistleblower0 · 29/05/2017 21:56

He's an absoloute twat.

DonaldStott · 29/05/2017 21:57

Agree with pp who said giving her time to answer is giving her the rope to hang herself with.

He is v different to his style when questioning JC

Leatherboundanddown · 29/05/2017 21:57

Yanbu!

yeah, to hell with the NHS and our kids education, lets vote for the tories as May has sworn at Paxman

Hmm
MissusBea · 29/05/2017 22:00

He should have asked her about schools, NHS - he totally wasted time on the deal / no deal issue endlessly repeating the same points that were clear. Grrrrr.

Didn't press her on the N.hS or education. Unbelievable Angry

ssd · 29/05/2017 22:02

it will be noticed he was far harder on Corbyn, might backfire on them.

MrsELM21 · 29/05/2017 22:03

YANBU however I have met him many times IRL and he is actually a very nice man Grin

EpoxyResin · 29/05/2017 22:03

Um, Paxo's an outright, self-professed Tory. ...obviously.

LoveMySituation · 29/05/2017 22:10

YANBU. Paxmans tie is reminding me of mr blobbyGrin

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

That is a very good point.
Still, Paxman is a caricature - what a prize buffoon.

expatinscotland · 29/05/2017 22:16

He's a fucking cunt. And yet another spoony who fell in love with the nanny.

Jux · 29/05/2017 22:16

Keep him locked in Uni Challenge where he's almost nice. He's clearly no longer fit for purpose elsewhere.

Jux · 29/05/2017 22:18

Thouh, tbh, I think he's playing a different game when he interviews like this. Something to do with having them hang themselves. May became somewhat exasperated with him this evening, which I think is what he was after. Though I think he thought Corbyn wouldmake more fuss, and he didn't.

Ness1234 · 29/05/2017 22:18

He was definitely an idiot shouting over Corbyns answers, not professional at all!
