I fear for Nuttall when he's interviewed by Brillo.
Nicolas Turgeon lasted about three minutes here.
Is he ripping her apart? :drool:
I don't think she did too bad. All of these interviews are just accusations and denials, though.
"Same question?"
"Same answer."
Same question?
"Same answer."
Same question phrased differently?
"I defer you to me previous answer."
"Thank you for your time.
Sturgeon's problem is that the SNP are absolutely shit at governing and their entire programme is founded on blaming other people.
It's amazing that that boron gets a platform of equal billing to Mrs May and Sir Jezza.
Such a missed opportunity at the first referendum.
They'd be bankrupt if they'd voted yes as well, which would have presented the satisfying spectacle of the Scots rioting in the streets in the face of impending economic catastrophe.
How dare someone challenge the status quo of the British empire.
I feel I need to distance myself from GS a bit, so I've stuck The Proclaimers on my Sonos. Really is decent stuff.
I wouldn't usually mind, but listening to Alex Salmond claim that they'd be the fifteenth richest country in the world on the back of record oil production and record prices was a bit much. Then again, we're scamming more money out of the south east than even the Scots are, so there you go.
Meanwhile:
Cutting through. :nodd:
This is the story of our first teacher, Shetland made her jumpers and the devil made her features.
Why don't the snips just run on this sort of lyrical genius.
Various things that weren't worth posting for their own sake suggest that the IRA stuff only cuts through with older people, but it does so reasonably well, so expect them to bore the shit out of us all week hammering that. I saw that Labour apparently coast the election quite comfortably if nobody over forty-five was allowed to vote (which you would hope is down to housing rather than any enthusiasm for communism [at least in anyone over twenty]), but there stands to be another blinding seethe against the biddies whatever happens.
It's only people over 45 (over 60, in fact) who remember the last time the reds were in charge.
The generational split between under 45 and over 45 suggests it would be a landslide for Labour and the Tories respectively. It's around 68/15 both ways. Apparently the difference in the Tory poll leads is whether or not the pollster is using stated 'intention to vote' this time round or historical turnout for the demographics. The naive youth vote going in for a bit of communism isn't exactly new, but unless they decide to buck every trend ever and turn out in huge numbers then it'll just turn into yet another massive pissing into the wind exercise for the reds.
We probably need a new reds government somewhere soon, just to remind everyone how useless it is. Hollande looked promising, but like every French manoeuvre since 1918 he ended up giving up when he encountered resistance.
I saw earlier that the gap between May and Corbyn in terms of PM preference is +65 amongst pensioners. Still. That, plus voting intention, plus a relatively stable Tory vote percentage suggests the social care fuck up isn't resulting in a complete haemorrhage of the vote.
That said, the Maybot interacts with real people again this evening so hopefully they've had a chance to upgrade her software beforehand.
'May v Corbyn' on channel 4 at 8:30 tonight.
What time does it finish? That's when the action really starts when this thread goes mad.
:D 10pm.
This reminds me of that passage in the Mr Bean film where everyone is convinced he is a famous art expert and they can't believe he isn't until the bitter, bitter end.
Seems to be making sense to me, in honesty.
"We're all better off when everybody is better off"
:D spoke too soon there
He's talking like a human being though, which is a massive plus point.
He's doing alright. He's not actually answering any of the questions asked, but he's at least talking confidently and fluently enough. If May does her usual stuttery warbling he'll come out of this a lot better off.
He's doing alright here, but this next bit could see it all falling apart.
He's at his best when he gets to rant passionately about justice and all that. When it comes to the IRA stuff he's a lot weaker - we all know he loved the Irish cock, just come clean.
It's times like this when not actually following MPs and that on the Twitter comes into its own.
I've gone the other way and have become a slavish Dominic Cummings disciple. 'None of this will have any effect'.Quote:

I think Damian McBride finished him off when he just admitted to everything and scrambled his brain.
This Paxo attack line (so far) has been a bit wet.
Thus far he's doing well again. Paxman's hectoring doesn't really work when he's basically shouting as a guy who, at least on the surface, is just a reasonable genial old man.
Paxman's weird focus on the manifesto not just being a list of Corbyn's personal convictions is letting him off the hook a bit.
Jez's least comfortable territory is security, defence and terrorist apology. Paxo has ignored it all to try and come at him from the left. He's lost it.
Oh no Jeremy, you were doing so well, don't fuck up on the Falklands.
There we go, finally landed a punch.
Paxman's interviewing style is shite. You can probe information without accusing someone like they've just been chuckling while running over a cat.
This stuff on terrorism/foreign policy is awful for Corbz. Has to make weak excuses every time. Luckily for him it will have no effect.
His best moments are when he steams back in and says 'But this is what really matters...'
He's absolutely terrible on these issues. You might as well just turn an entire interview into smashing into him on these topics.
Having the question up on the screen the entire time they're answering is something that should be done across the board.
Someone really should take Nick Timothy out the back of CCHQ and have him kneecapped.
She managed to navigate the social care thing well enough there. Thankfully.
The first thing May should do is wipe the shit-eating grin off her face.
Can you imagine the blessed Margaret doing this, she'd pepper the bastards, albeit without understanding a single joke along the way.
"They're a weak lot some of them in this audience... Weak. Feeble."Quote:

I presume someone has paid off this crowd to clap after every answer. She's just talking in her usual shit platitudes.
To be fair to May, I'm not sure why she has to account for £350 million. They should drag King Dom and Govers out for that one.
She clearly doesn't - it was a terrible question that shouldn't have got through vetting. There's plenty of other legitimate things to bollock the Tories for.
May did very well there. Thank fuck for that.
If somebody ever uploads the full four hours (or whatever it was) of him stonewalling that select committee I'll make a night of it with crisps.Quote:
