The Battle for Number 10 - NOT A Live Debate - Cameron vs Miliband - 9PM KO

[GwladysBlue]

I didn't like Paxman's snide, condescending "Are you okay, Ed?" At the end there.

 

[Robocop]

Labour is now a watered down conservative. They aren't like what they use to be years ago

 

[AlE]

He let himself down bigtime there, trying to poke fun at the geeky looking kid.

He doesn't seem to really try and debate as such, he just tries to make his "opponents" look stupid.

But by doing so he just looks a child. Don't like him at all

 

[ToffeeDoug]

Paxo was tough on Cameron but was generally respectful to him. But with Ed, Paxo seems to be outright contemptuous.

Apparently, it is not immigration any more but migration.

I thought Ed handled that ridiculously personal 'grilling' by Paxman quite well.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Miliband started off a bit ropey with Paxman but grew into it. He came across well

He did! Paxman came out of it looking an idiot.

 

[The Equaliser]

Paxman is the most pompous person on TV.

Seems to think the sun shines out of his rear end.

He has to live up to his most terrifying interviewer on TV reputation. Not what he used to be.

 

[sbbefc]

Thought Ed did alright.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

No wonder Camoron doesn't what a head to head, Milliband comes across as genuinely trying to make things fair for people.

Such a good show for Milliband that, he was even getting bullied on his looks and stood up to it, made Paxman look a tw@t for going there.

He improved, but it was a nightmare to begin with. Ed said the previous Labour govt it wrong, because it is an easy answer, but won't say how and why or blame anyone. Except Blair of course, otherwise why drag up the commissioning of The Dome from 1998 or whenever. Where did that come from? That is ancient history, and The Dome, now the O2 Arena has done masses to help regenerate a poor area.

 

[ijjysmith]

Probably because he spent half of it answering questions he'd invented.

Excuse my massive ignorance on the matter, but weren't mainly all of Paxman's questions about the old Labour government? Why would he be arsed answering questions about that?

Doesn't really mean much.

Sounded like dumb questions to him in the first place to me.

 

[AlE]

TBH I don't like Cameron, Miliband or Paxman. Wasn't the programme for me heh

 

[The Equaliser]

I'll never forget the time he asked the same question 15 times. PMSL.

Even funnier was the time on Newsnight when got a frog stuck in his throat and attempted to soldier on talking.
