Haha did that guy mouth bollocks? Perfection.

"That's bollocks".

Wish a mic picked it up.

 

[Spaghetti]

Please tell me someone has a video of the laughing and the alleged "bollocks" moment from the audience.

 

[cjp]

We're increasing real terms per patient funding each year

... 3 minutes ago...

no one can promise real terms per pupil increases

Yeah I hope someone picks her up on this

 

[Rubbish King]

Praying

 

[Uzzy]

Yeah, the Tory campaign needs something to kick it into life and she isn't helping.

Not really. Tories won't lose unless there's a large swing in Labour's way, and boring everyone to sleep will prevent that.

 

[jelly]

It's almost like Brexit isn't a wise thing to do.

 

[Rubbish King]

say it


say the line


I want to see jeers

Yeah, she's the frontrunner, she wins from score-draws, and as much as the comparison is tempting, the Corbyn-May distance is bigger than Trump-Clinton so it's not like she has pressure to exceed a score-draw.

 

[Humidex]

Maybot diagnostics test passed.

 

[Empty]

may did well. she diffused the big issue on the dementia tax and was boring without saying anything bad on her weaknesses.

 

[CCS]

I'm no Corbyn fan but this idiotic hectoring of him by Paxman tells us more about pundits limitations than the Labour leader's

On twitter.

By Douglas Carswell.

 

[Moobabe]

That wasn't quite as difficult at Corbyn's set, but she didn't answer a single one.

Hope Paxman roasts her.

 

[JonathanEx]

Maybe her plan was to be so boring people would switch over before Paxman

 

[Lagamorph]

Bit harsh mate, it was a pretty big bus

And hence that lie was a success as they were banking on people like her.

That woman doesn't deserve to have the right to vote for letting herself make a decision based on that.

 

[RangerX]

I thought Corbyn did much better with the audience tbh. He actually seems like a sincere human being.

 

[Xun]

That wasn't quite as difficult at Corbyn's set, but she didn't answer a single one.

Hope Paxman roasts her.

Doubtful.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

The hell was she even saying at the end there. Couldn't catch head or tail.

No strong and stable though so they're learning.

 

[Real Hero]

Hope Paxman roasts her.

He won't

 

[Faddy]

"score draws" are good for Corbyn when the main Tory theme is Theresa is "Strong and Stable" and Corbyn is a despot. If people put them on an even footing that is bad for the Tories.

 

[Tregard]

Surprised there was nothing about fox hunting, honestly

 

[CCS]

Hope that May getting laughed at gets a lot of play.

 

[Moobabe]

Surprised there was nothing about fox hunting, honestly

Gotta have a question about being a bloody difficult woman in there!

 

[Spaghetti]

Farage and Carswell faintly praising Corbyn? What the fuck is going on?

 

[PJV3]

Not really. Tories won't lose unless there's a large swing in Labour's way, and boring everyone to sleep will prevent that.

Ah, I'm thinking more of what the Tories were expecting at the beginning of the campaign, I'm not expecting an actual full blown defeat at this point.

I'm getting carried away with how relatively well its going so far.

 

[Faddy]

Can't wait for Paxman's first question to be about Tory support for Apartheid.

 

[Lagamorph]

Surprised there was nothing about fox hunting, honestly

The average voter couldn't really care less about Fox Hunting at the best of times, but especially right now.

 

[kmag]

The softball "difficult woman" question about EU negotiations. May as well have asked "what are your strengths as a strong and stable leader"

 

[Deleted member 231381]

"score draws" are good for Corbyn when the main Tory theme is Theresa is "Strong and Stable" and Corbyn is a despot. If people put them on an even footing that is bad for the Tories.

I mean sure, but what I'm saying is, if you're May, and you have a choice between high risk/high reward vs low risk/low reward, you're going to take low risk - you're the frontrunner, after all. I do think Corbyn might gain on this performance, but not enough, because May avoided making any big howlers, which was the point. She was using boringness as a weapon.

 

[Tregard]

The average voter couldn't really care less about Fox Hunting at the best of times, but especially right now.

That's why I expected it to come up. "Why is this a point of your manifesto when there are more important things to be doing?", that sort of thing

 

[OmegaTreeFish]

Watching this shit is mostly just annoying.

Q - "What about losing funding for schools"

A - "i want all our kids to have a good education, blah blah blah blah..."

Does anyone listen to these sorts of "answers" and think they made a good point? Hell any point at all?

And these "we will work out a fair cap / budget once you have voted us in" answers are even worse.

 

[Fergie]

Won't expect much in this last segment.

 

[Wes]

"Are you talking about Brexit?"

Oh my....

 

[OverBlood 3]

I'm not sure this woman should be in politics at all...

 

[Uzzy]

"score draws" are good for Corbyn when the main Tory theme is Theresa is "Strong and Stable" and Corbyn is a despot. If people put them on an even footing that is bad for the Tories.

Bad for the Tories is a majority of 30 for them.

I mean, for sure you'll have some annoyed Tory leaders lamenting a poor campaign that should have been a slam dunk with a majority of 150 and Labour in meltdown, but they'll still be in power. Power smooths over disappointment quite well.

 

[Breakage]

Pacman going in

 

[Hazzuh]

May can't deal with Paxman opening with a joke.

 

[Lagamorph]

Didn't expect Paxman to open with her u-turn on Brexit support.

 

[Empty]

The average voter couldn't really care less about Fox Hunting at the best of times, but especially right now.

yeah but it serves the same function as the ira questions to corbyn.

symbol of nasty party vs symbol of being weak on terror/security

 

[nOoblet16]

She is stammering already, I guess I know whether she doesn't wanna do face to face.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Didn't expect Paxman to open with her u-turn on Brexit support.

It's a softball. She just says "Will of the People" and move on.

 

[Breakage]

Lol just answer the question

 

[Lagamorph]

It's a softball. She just says "Will of the People" and move on.

She pulled the Will of the people card and it's still going. She didn't believe in the Heart of the Cards enough.

 

[Tregard]

Genuinely, is Paxman's entire segment about attacking the individual?

 

[Hazzuh]

Paxman's line of reasoning a mistake again. Two swings, two misses.

 

[Empty]

ffs this just makes her look like she is acting in the national interest as a strong and stable leader

 

[JonathanEx]

Didn't expect Paxman to open with her u-turn on Brexit support.

I thought it was obvious from the moment he opened with questions on history for Corbyn.

It's also reassuring - because it's a thing we've glossed over too much.

 

[Uzzy]

Genuinely, is Paxman's entire segment about attacking the individual?

They did want a Presidential style campaign.

 

[Fergie]

Genuinely, is Paxman's entire segment about attacking the individual?

It's his whole shtick.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Genuinely, is Paxman's entire segment about attacking the individual?

It's Paxman's shtick, unfortunately.
