Susanna Reid is soooooo rude

Yes I know she's interviewing Boris but for fuck's sake, let him get a word in edgeways, even worse when Adil Ray is on as well.

She's so rude

@Blossomtoes , I think she said she wasn’t standing, but it’s definitely not a safe Tory seat.

Blossomtoes · 04/05/2022 23:13

That’s a real shame, I liked Laura. But I can’t see it staying Tory at the next election with a majority of only 1100 to overturn, especially if Holden’s not putting the work in.

Roussette · 04/05/2022 23:14

So, bottom line, BJ gave a crap interview...(he was probably unprepared and thought it would be easy to bluster and waffle as normal) but let's blame the interviewer instead for him scoring an own goal 🙄

Because as per usual the glitterati leftist media lurvies promulgate their own point of view/beliefs and nobody else should dare to offer an alternative opinion or risk being bawled out or shut down.
The art of uncensored discussion is being stifled in this country by our own media who only want you to hear what they believe in.
Susanna Reid is a disgrace. And who is Lorraine??? Someone of little note.

Maybe Boris Johnson is just a bit shit.

Tory voters are really showing themselves up on this thread as lacking in compassion and empathy. And stop with the 'I don't like Boris but'. If you loathed Johnson as much as most people do there could be no but.

Their crass lack of empathy reflects that of BJ, it makes sense.

Boris Johnson is a hideous, lying, venal bastard.

Susanna Reid isn't.

agreed !

I see the Mail has finally given up on its electoral campaigning, sorry, journalistic investigation and ‘beergate’ is no longer on the front page for the first time in 5 days.

"The art of uncensored discussion is being stifled in this country by our own media"

You do know who owns much of our media right? We may not be in the era of the press barons but huge swathes of print media have very right leaning Conservative donors. And the publicly owned media is constantly under attack from ministers. I'd agree there is censorship but not in the way you mean.

Right? What a bizarre comment.
The press is owned by wealthy men who have every interest in certain things not appearing. The media is pretty much a sham.

What stood out was shocking lack of empathy bragging about introducing free bus passes when presented with a 77-year-old woman who rides buses all day because she can't afford to heat her home, not Reid’s rudeness.

skodadoda · 05/05/2022 07:49

The point of an interview is to hear the other person speak to ask probing and difficult questions and hear the answers

That’s exactly what she was trying to do but when she didn’t get answers she pulled him up on it. Waffling and deflecting has become the classic route of those who refuse to answer probing questions.

Noni123 · 05/05/2022 10:39

Susanah Reid is a gob on a stick-only interested in making herself look clever -who she was interviewing this time is irrelevant she always talks over the interviewe & we only ever get to here her smart arse remarks. I agree with other posts- she is trying to emulate Piers Morgan & fails miserably & I think whatever anyone says about him he had passion & came across as believing in what he was saying whereas with Susanah its so obviously for effect!

Roussette · 05/05/2022 10:48

So call a woman who conducted a perfectly decent interview whilst trying to keep the blustering waffler PM on track... 'a gob on a stick'.

All whilst seeming to admire Piers Morgan! Hilarious. There's a reason why his new talk show has completely bombed barely registering any viewers!

Could you tell me what 'smart arse remarks' she made? I missed them

Imagine being so naive you think Piers Morgan believes even 10% of the stuff he comes out with.

Roussette · 05/05/2022 10:58

I think HIGNFY has nailed it with this tweet

@haveigotnews
Local elections: polls predict Tories could lose 550 seats, or 750 if Boris Johnson goes on GMB again

Seriously misogynistic tone to this comment.

This must be another interview you’re describing because it’s very far removed from the truth of how it came across.

Carriecakes80 · 05/05/2022 11:12

Lmao Susanna is the problem here, lmao, yeah ok!
Not Bozo, who lied even in THIS interview (which, I could hear his waffling rubbish perfectly well thanks, get yer ears syringed! lol) saying HE introduced the Freedom Bus Pass (It was established in 1973 I believe.)

The main point I took from this was that an ELDERLY WOMAN has to ride the bus most of the day to stay warm. If thats not what you took from this, you have no heart, and we have no hope. It showed him for what he is, A total Eton Mess.

The bloke is a liability, and unless your dense as heck or rich as f*ck, then sorry, you is wrong! ;-)

balalake · 05/05/2022 12:06

I would not be polite to Mr Johnson. I expect many others would not be to someone who is a serial liar, adulterer, abuser of women and in my opinion a serial killer in all but name by his neglect in March 2020.

Boris couldn't lie straight in bed

That's unfair.

Bozo is notorious for going off on tangents so needs constant prodding to keep on topic. Politicians regularly answer questions with the answers to questions that they hoped to get. It's fucking shocking that he could turn a question about someone suffering into tooting his own horn for an achievement that wasn't even his. Unbelievable.

No idea why Piers = good Susannah = gob on a stick either. Piers didn't invent that kind of interview style and Susannah's job is to get answers and not be led by the interviewee like on BBC Breakfast which might as well be a Tory party political broadcast

If BJ wants to broadcast propaganda to the country, he can release a party political broadcast. This was an interview and his interviewer is not only entitled but obliged to speak and ask questions.
