"Did anyone see this on "Newsnight" last night? OMG!! - poor lass, clearly as a Junior Minister she's out of her depth - Paxman totally destroyed her credibility."
Thats one of the funniest things I've seen on TV for a long time! She either went on thinking she could tame Paxo and it would make her career and she got totally owned OR, her party knew what would happen and threw her to the lions.
Either way, brilliant! |

Ah yes, Paxman, he who has to be heard. I stopped watching him years ago when I realised that he treated his guests as his own personal cannon fodder to make himself look good. He never crucifies anyone speaking on behalf of a pc cause though because he knows he'll be crucified himself. Dick.  |

I didn't see it on the tellybox, but heard it on Jeremy Vine today and they played a clip of a welsh economist who gave it back to Paxo and you could tell he didn't like it.....I think he's a fecking bully and there's nothing clever about constantly browbeating a panellist with the same question.

Paxo is just another BBC Leftie like Humphries, Davies et al on Radio 4 Today and all the other supposedly News' and information programmes.
They have forgotten in their political bias that the art of good journalism is to craft questions in such a way that the listener / viewer / reader gets as much information as possible and allows the interviewee to make the points they wish to make.
What happens now is the Paxo's of the BBC interrupt, argue with and generally harangue any Government spokesperson to stop them making their points and take a completely different and more friendly line to their Labour friends (who of course decide what the BBC headlines will be for that day!)
And the BBC is a taxpayer funded organisation ....  |

"wellby most accounts she was set up by the Tories to take the flack for yet another U turn"
Was she really? And by whose account is that? Care to provide a copy?
So deciding NOT to implement a fuel duty rise that Labour would have implemented is a U turn and not a serious effort at easing the fiancial burden on motorists and others? This will be the third reduction or cancellation of fuel duty under this Government and we are 10p a litre better off than we would have been under Labour and I would have thought Millifuckwit would have welcomed it rather than make cheap political jibes.
I think the Selective Amnesia of what Labour did is spreading to some Forumites ...  |

All he ever does is ask questions with a massive scope (the sort of thing you could write a book on and still feel like there was more to say) and scream and whine whine like a baby when he doesn't get a one word answer. Sadly there seem to be people in the world who think that counts as 'winning' an argument...
There's a few of his past 'interviews' that are quite funny though, Sting is one that comes to mind. |

Well when the Transport Minister confirms 24 hours earlier that the rise will take effect and then it doesn't 24 hours later it does sound like a U turn to me- It sounds like this government is making things up as they go along, which we all know isn't the case  |

I like Paxman, he doesn't take any shit and he doesn't let people get away with giving non-answers and trotting out irrelevant bits of party rhetoric to answer questions. I will always remember him demolishing George Galloway back in 2005!
As for Chloe Smith... It was a government U-turn as someone else said when you say two different things in 24 hours that a U-turn. It doesn't matter what Labour would have done, we know Labour would have put the tax up the point is the government said they were putting it up and at the last minute they (Osborne) changed there minds. It was obvious the Mrs Smith hadn't been briefed on the changes properly nor had anyone thought how they were going to pay for the £500million in lost revenue. When your a government who's prime reason for existing is to cut a deficit any backtracking on tax increases is going to be heavily scrutinised. Especially when the deficit is growing and your prime minister is talking about cutting welfare.
If Paxman had gone soft on her it wouldnt have made the news and it wouldn't have rebounded on Osborne (as it should for throwing a junior minister to the wolves) in the way it has. While she was being taken to pieces by the nations media (C4 also grilled her) Osborne was at a party trying to avoid the flak (Who knows where Danny Alexander, the man who has to chose what they now cut to pay for this, was.)
As for Paxman not grilling people speaking for "PC" causes, its much harder to claim someone is lying, giving you a rubbish answer or misrepresenting facts when they are talking about helping disabled people, about the evils of racism or how fluffy animals are mistreated. But I have heard him take apart a good few Labour ministers over immigration figures. |

And talking of selective amnesia it was the last tory government which introduced the fuel price escalator which Labour got rid of after a couple of years in power - funny how some some posters forget details like that |

It proves just how hard Labour supporters will try ANYTHING to discredit the govt and conveniently forget their own party's failings. The govt scrap a planned rise in fuel duty and Labour supporters aren't happy about it. What will make them happy?
Here's another look at it..
The govt announce a rise in fuel duty in 6 months time knowing full well that in these very difficult times a rise in fuel duty will hit hard, so they announce a planned rise that they have no intention of implementing. It makes the govt look as though they are determined to tackle the deficit (which they are) but it also makes them look like they are not the uncaring bunch of toffs Labour would have us believe (which they're not).
U-turn? Not a bit, this was planned. So a young MP got thrown to Paxman to chew up and spit out, so what, it'll stand her in good stead for later on in her career and I'm sure the Tory bigwigs will have apologised profusely to her and promised her a decent post in the next reshuffle. Watch this space. |

Ah yes Wishy but your forgetting one important thing about politics, if you back-track quickly you look incompetent and if you do good things but dont tell people about it then they will believe your incompetence far more than your altruistic nature towards motorists (especially when you make one of your own bright young talents look like a prat). |
