      If we have any lip readers in the house by the way, I would dearly love to know what they said to each other as the credits started up! Andrew Neil looked less than impressed

      I think if there are any lip readers on this site they would probably not say, as they would get banned:mute:

      Well I was talking generally, and agree politicians do waffle on in their own direction if allowed by interviewers, but I did find that Andrew Neil, was just looking down at his notes, at one point, and firing off question after question, no chance of an answer, so pretty pointless asking them.

      I sometimes think the interviewer should let us decide if they have answered the question or not.

      Does anyone get up early enough to see that Sally Bundock in the mornings?
      She has a guest each morning, and spends most of the time telling them what she thinks, the BBC official line, especially if they dont say what she wants to hear.

      Only one or two get to have their say, if its not the official line, and usually that involves them shouting her down.

        Yes, The Briefing, 5 a.m. - 6 a.m. :blue thumb:. Watch it almost every morning. Some of it is good and other parts not so good. She's a typical presenter. :noidea:

          No disrespects to anyone but I thought I had had a good education. Seems I have been misleading myself. I simply don't understand what the hell is going on. They all seem to be playing around with billions of pounds that don't exist. Now , Tarzan aka Michael Hestletine is telling supporters of his own Tory party to vote with the Lib Dems.

          Bring back the Muppet show!

              Yeah, Loofah, Woo politely let me know of my errors:doh:. My only excuse is that I did that piece in great haste as I was heading out for a 3 hour shopping expedition visiting 3 towns to get what I wanted/needed.:wallbanging::heehee: I got back from the expedition totally shatttered:old: and headed for a Mug of Tea:coffee: and a sofa session contemplating the number of sheep for about an hour before rectifying the numerous mistakes.

                  But you know as well as I do, pete, no Politician ever answers a question except by talking about a completely different subject which has nothing to do with the question asked:wallbanging::heehee::cat-kittyandsmiley::coffee:

                      It went exactly as expected. Corbyn didn't actually answer the questions so he used weasel words or complete evasion. I don't expect any other of the politicians to do any better but I did enjoy seeing him have difficulty controlling his temper. :whistle: To be fair to the man (although I don't really see a reason to be fair to him :heehee:) he almost lost it at one time and took a deep breath and held it in.

                      His Waspi evasion was pathetic!

                      His financial knowledge about how nationalisation works was abysmal when he said that giving government bonds instead of cash was not borrowing money. So many holes in that argument that I wouldn't trust him with a piggy bank!

                          Tarzan is a True Believer in a united Europe and passionate that the UK should remain within the EU at any price.

                          Off to watch it on catch up, can't wait lol It does give Bojo an easy win that he absolutely will not take - don't evade the question. Say if the tories cocked it up and correct that idiotic claim of 50, 000 MORE NHS staff. Boom - straight answers, admission of what they got wrong, trust rebuilt because voters have the memory of a goldfish apparently, and easy win. Won't happen.

                          Think the Muppets would do a better job...

                            Well I'm about 6 minutes in and I'm disappointed to say I think JC's responses haven't been that bad! Whether they're true or not I don;t know... He at least has answered a question.

                            EDIT:... and then it fell off a cliff!
