Milliband about to get torn a new one by Paxman on C4 now

[Gwylan]

Indeed, he is virtually a communist by tradition, but Socialist is probably about right as it stands,.....a champagne one at that, especially on his multi million pounds BBC contracts.

Er ... Paxo said when he left Newsnight that he could now reveal himself as a Tory voter. For what it's worth, I think he's never let his political opinions impact on his interviewing and gives all sides a difficult ride

Interesting reading this thread the day after. You'd have thought that Ed was mullered by the live responses on here and the thread title. However as the thread moves on to the post interview commentary it appears that Ed did better than NSC wanted him to.

Political threads on here are awful not least because of the partisan stance of the owner of the site.

Blimey, you remind me of my Dad! Wouldn't watch the BBC as it was all run by Communists.

After he'd finished on Newsnight and he could stop being impartial Paxman revealed himself as a Conservative voter. Indeed the Tories have approached him as a potential MP.

EDIT: As Gwylan has also pointed out.

I'd agree with this.

Bozza, you clearly don't get involved with the political threads on NSC enough.

I realise your post is drenched in irony but it does serve to emphasis that in spite of its apparent egalitarian rules and mores, NSC nevertheless remains the creation and developed fiefdom of [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION]. I have no doubt that some of the, how shall I put it, more easily influenced posters will be persuaded by his immoderate political bias. Qui est vita.

Ha ha great thread. Just listened to 5live where John Pienaar had Ed shading the event, and yet the hyperbole on here you'd think he left sobbing like Paul Robinson after Lassiters went bankrupt!

Oops just read your post, well spoken!

Own up, who's just changed the thread title?

As explained before, although I have voted Conservative in the past, I have not for quite some time - many elections in fact.

My main beef is the intellectual snobbery displayed by many (but not all) of those on the left towards those on the right. I'm happy to keep poking fun at them. The reactions of several well-known posters is an absolute delight to behold.

the thing to remember here is it was Cameron who did not want to go head to head and red ed did want to
so who is the cry baby here?

I've voted left,right red,blue and green and we still ain't won the world cup

Personnally i think that just displays your inherent right wing bias. It's more than poking fun it comes across as a Daily Mail type rewriting of facts to slander anyone to the left of Ghengis Khan.

All that tells us, is that Miliband was intimidated by Paxman, yet was relishing the opportunity to go head to head with Cameron, as he is about as intimidating as a twelve year old.

I am a socialist and never been what you might call an intellectual snob, all I want is to wipe that smirk off the tories faces and be able to close all the food banks down, up the amount of decent jobs for the young and stop the disintegration of the NHS.
furthermore I will use my vote tactically to keep the tories on the back foot, not much I agree, but at least I vote.

When we leave the Amex after a 0-1 defeat we don't need a commentator to tell us what we saw
Miliband lost 0-1

As an outsider who will not be voting for them, I thought Milliband was rocked, that's my opinion.
Yes Milliband might be sincere, but he is a career politician plain and simple. It really tells you something about the character of a man who has an argument with his own brother over positions of power and money. It's more about trying to prove to himself that he can be PM than actually helping the country.

that makes cameron a bit of a whimp if he cannot go head to head with a twelve year old then

As I clearly said - 'but not all'.

Other than that - good for you - that's what a democracy is all about.
