Election worth it

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Knew it!

Gonna laugh my ass off if anyone actually uses this against him.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

The Remain voter issue is probably a big hurdle for Labour. There's not a lot they can really do to overcome that.

 

[D4Danger]

Lul

Which question was it again?

something about not being the man for the job.

he said being a leader is about using your ears as well as you mouth.

I like to think he's saying "listen up, fuck off"

 

[Wes]

Someone needs to add a white text "SNAP" on the right hand side of his head.

 

[kmag]

To be honest he answered the immigration question about as well as you can given his views on the subject. It's certainly far better than Labour have ever managed on the subject before.

 

[Real Hero]

Lay into him Jeremy

 

[Empty]

he's going very hard here. interesting.

 

[Tregard]

I thought everyone was pretty much in agreement that zero hours contracts were awful?

 

[D4Danger]

he's going in hard against this guy. guy looks shook.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Okay, so it's a clear vote-loser as far as that guy is concenred, but FUCK is it good to see to see Corbyn reject the prevailing political narrative and talk about state investment.

Like, fuck yes. Doing what everyone knows Miliband wanted to do but just wasn't tuss enuss to carry out.

 

[JonathanEx]

Not if you're an employer


(And some employees as they like flexibility, but banning zero-hours doesn't mean banning flexibility but some people are stupid)

 

[Real Hero]

I think he's nailed this

 

[kmag]

They work for some type of people who actually want as and when casual work. (Students etc). Technically I was on a ZHC when I worked as a lifeguard for the local council as an undergraduate, although they weren't called ZHC then just a casual contract.

 

[Humidex]

Okay, so it's a clear vote-loser as far as that guy is concenred...

His vote was already dead-set even before the question was asked. A fan of zero hour contracts, eh?

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

That guy from the Labour family doesn't like any Labour policies. He's a Tory.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Less good on the nuclear stuff. Dodging the question somewhat - needed just to say 'yes, I would use the nuclear deterrent in response to an attack by others' (which literally anyone would).

 

[Empty]

that was brilliant. he did really well giving populist answers on his main weaknesses and hitting hard on what his pitch is all about. i hope people were actually watching.

 

[Wes]

Got a prediction of an open mic gaffe at some point this evening. I can feel it in the waters.

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

God, I can't bloody stand Paxman.

'fucking trident, its going as soon as I'm in'

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Wow, he's been doing really well :-/

 

[JonathanEx]

Solid performance there, and I've generally been Pro-Labour but been very anti-Cobyn over this cycle. So a bit of bias, but I don't think I'm disappointed. Pleasantly surprised. A few answers could have been quicker and more on the dot, but he made strong arguments.

Let's see how Paxo goes.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Yeah he can literally say that then go into his disarmament speech. I know his principles got him here but sometimes he's making life far far harder for himself then he should.

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

Well, once brexit happens the remainers tell me we're going back to the stone ages anyway so what use is the trident program?

 

[MrMysterio]

So, fear of immigrants is just mainstream in the UK now, isn't it? No one even questioning the reasoning for "bringing the numbers down!".

Especially with news of NHS staff shortages, among many other things, but who am I telling this? Doesn't look like a pro-immigrant opinion will have any traction in the UK for the foreseeable time.

So incredibly sad.

 

[jelly]

Pretty decent from him, I hope people actually watched and the media reflect some of his moments.

 

[Real Hero]

Get ready for more Ira stuff

 

[Moobabe]

All depends what happens with May. I hope she has a shit show.

 

[RangerX]

I have to say I thought Corbyn did pretty well there especially on small business and the EU. Now comes the real gauntlet of fire with Paxman.

 

[jelly]

Get ready for more Ira stuff

Yeah, here it comes.

 

[Tregard]

Jeremy on Jeremy action

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Oh god he's trying to go for lovable here.

I think I'm enjoying it.

EDIT: again all he should see 'Protecting this country's people is morally right'

That's the problem, if someone questions the number and the reasoning. And goes deep into the differences between non-EU and EU immigration it'll just be looked at as he is giving in and he's not going to do anything about it. The problem is with the people not understanding how it works but honestly I don't blame them as not much can be done about it because of how complex, complicated and bloated this whole thing is with several caveats rather than black and white.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

This is low quality from Paxman.

Edit: A shit post, sorry, but I'm on mobile so no further context. Bleugh.

Well this should be good.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

"Is a democratic decision morally right where you do something you don't believe in personally?"

See: Brexit.

 

[Real Hero]

Paxman is sooo bad

 

[jelly]

Shut up Paxman.

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

I can't understand the reasoning behind Paxman, as a pro-Tory being involved in a electoral debate.

 

[JonathanEx]

So I think score-draw with Paxman potentially. I think they both come off as bad for not letting him finish / not answering the question so far.

 

[Dorsal Axe]

Pacman is absolutely terrible tonight, Christ.

Hope May gets the same treatment.

 

[ChubbleDucks]

Let him talk.
Used to like paxman but this is awful.

 

[Real Hero]

Pacman is absolutely terrible tonight, Christ.

Hope May gets the same treatment.

She won't

 

[Empty]

neil is so much better than paxman. the question about benefits in the manifesto is a really good one that's a huge hole in the manifesto but he asks it in such an obnoxious manner and doesn't nail the issue. this is unbearable to watch.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

I can't understand the reasoning behind Paxman, as a pro-Tory being involved in a electoral debate.

Sky News and Murdoch probably demanded this.

 

[Hazzuh]

Paxman being super obnoxious

 

[N7Commander95]

This is making Paxman look awful

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Corbyn uppercut to the Paxo!

 

[nOoblet16]

Paxman pls

Irrelevant questions, interruptions meh
