I would settle for water canons though. You know like they do in other European cities. The Dutch police can be brutal. This would lead to the cannoning of pretty much every tory member and supporter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_up_north Posted 2 October 2022 Share Posted 2 October 2022 Tbh, this weekend I have had some plans scuppered because of train strikes and a parcel I ordered hasn't arrived on time due to postal strikes. But I'm just glad people are finally doing something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you’re going to get s*** for this, but this is something that really annoys me about modern tv interviews. It’s not just Kuenssberg, it’s everyone. Everyone has to constantly talk over their guests, feeling the need to pressure and call out. I’m sure it only results in worse politicians and people operating in sound bites. I’d rather someone be given the opportunity to explain, then if they still aren’t answering the question, call them on it. It’s like they’re trying to fit too much into the segment and won’t have a proper discussion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truss was probably trying to appear calm and in control but just looked really tired. It went better than the local radio interviews though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of the battering Milliband got for looking uncomfortable with the media and how much Starmer gets berated for not being charismatic. Yet we end up with this clown.

IMO interviewers have no choice but to do this... the MPs are so professionally drilled in how to babble, obfuscate and simply not answer the question asked... that the interviewer has to stop the stream of bullshit to try and get an answer. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 2 October 2022 Share Posted 2 October 2022 Surely the question that followed the answer that the PM doesn’t interfere with the diary of the chancellor would be that she seems happy to interfere with the diary of the king …. Either these interviewers are unable to think on their feet or they’re unwilling to deviate from their script …… get truss infront of Andrew neill or paxman - that would be amusing ….. in a macabre fashion …. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate it’s a cycle, but the journalists have to be the ones to break it. Many questions these days seem to be presented as a trap, to draw an awkward or controversial response for the sake of that response. Then, if the politician doesn’t give a Yes or No answer (and either way falling into a trap that’s been laid), they get interrupted as they talk around it. Not every viewer has the attention span of a goldfish, yet it often feels like they’re the ones that the interviewers have in mind. By all means challenge someone who isn’t answering the question, but often there needs to be a qualification of why they’re giving the answer they are and the interviewers won’t allow that. Worth noting this happens across the political spectrum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
