Title: The Andrew Neil Interviews
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 25 November 2019, 23:44:32
Anyone see Andrew Neil give Wee Kranky a grilling earlier?  ???

I think she gets an easy ride in the media especially by the BBC, but he had her rattled.  Especially over her plans for a currency for Indy Scotland, the deficit and plans for EU membership.  Worth watching on iplayer if you didn't see it.  :y

Tomorrow he interrogates Comrade Corbyn!  :)

Did he ask how the border would work between England  and between Northern Ireland?

Northern Ireland came up and she pointed out that if NI could have a special status with the EU under the WA, why not Scotland?  ???

I always thought he looked slightly ... unkempt. That opinion did not change when I met him at the airport (in the BA lounge, naturally)..

Many elderly people are unkempt. I imagine STMO wears the same cardigan and trousers as Rigsby. :)

He is in a league of his own among political interviewers. The rest are pygmies in comparison. Havent seen his interview with wee krankie, but read about it today. He pointed out that NHS Scotland is failing so badly to meet legal targets on patient care, that it might need protecting from her, rather than her mantra of it needing protecting from Trump.
Apparently she got a wee bit flustered at that point.

Yes and I think that it is the first time I have seen Wee Kranky flustered during an interview.  :y

As said earlier, she gets an easy ride from the remain stream media, especially Auntie Beeb!  ::)

He is objective, unbiased, knows their brief better than they do, and knows he is almost certainly speaking to a dishonest moron, whichever party they belong to. Just what a political interrogator should be.

The nhs scotland targets are being missed but are understood to be better than those of the rest of the uk.

There is a bbc fact checker on the claims in the interview . Makes interesting reading. Like everything might be fake or inaccurate.

Well I think that Corbyn performed very poorly in his interview tonight with Andrew Neil.   ::)

He constantly tried to evade Brillo's aggressive line of questioning and was clearly irritated when Brillo kept interrupting to try to get him to answer the question.  ;D

I think you're being too kind. Todays papers are calling it a 'car crash' and 'a humiliation'.

Apparently Boris is desperate NOT to give an interview to Andrew Neil , can't think why ?

Tactically speaking, I don't blame him. He is ahead in the polls, and the flack from not having the balls to face Andrew Neil is likely to be less than the flack he would get after being torn to pieces by him.
The Tories probably reason that the more Corbyn is in front of the cameras, and the less Boris is in front of them, the better their results are likely to be.

I think Labour will soon realise that voters in their heartlands in the north are doing the unthinkable and changing to the Tories instead of the Brexit party. Expect to see them trying to con people again that they will somehow respect the referendum result for the next couple of weeks.

yes.
But he's inept with it, and can use  the excuse of 'running the country'

Fully agree, Corbyn has done them a favour by going on and getting grilled/exposed for what he is.

He has gifted the Tories with negative press against Liebour and because Boris has done QT and other interviews he is insulated against the 'not doing interviews' that May got hammered for.

Why chance it? He is ahead in polls and has everything to loose and little to gain. So a good tactical move and I don't blame him either. Not a coward, far from it. Clever tactics.

Just watched Jo Swinson's interview and to be honest I think she did quite well, although I think that Brillo let her off a couple of times when she avoided giving a straight answer.  ::)

Farage is on tomorrow.  :)
