London Mayoral Debate - Live on BBC2

[story]

That's it!??

Just when it was getting interesting...

A scant half hour. Silly.

A scant half hour. Silly.

Yep, fucking travesty. Paxo was crap, and they pull it as it's getting interesting...fucking waste.

story,

Thats my point. He was awful and incoherent, and he's still going to win.

Matt

Yes....

I can imagine people who have no interest in politics or policy voting for him simply cos they know who he is.

 

[butchersapron]

Is that the only one?

It can be watched again here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/default.stm

Paxo has never looked more of a headmaster giving an assembly when he's standing in front of that podium.

 

[story]

I know of no other, buthsersapron.

Is that the only one?

Can't see anymore tbh unless the BBC is going to do one on Question Time?

 

[lontok2005]

Paxman is awful. I'd rather hear what the candidates have to say and make up my own mind than have him interrupting them every ten seconds.

And a bit disappointed in Paddick. He could have tried a bit harder to make his points against the other two.

 

[butchersapron]

Well, Livingstone took 9 points, paddick 6.5, and Johson 4.5. Livinsgsone was the only politician up there - and it really showed.

It's a good format, a useful tool, but only works if given enough time and space.

Quite so.

Newsnight invited viewers to submit questions via their blog site, but due to the technology falling over, I'm not sure we'll ever know how many Londoners tried to put their question across. But they must have known the scale of the interest

There's an internet video question thingamee that one of the terrestrial channels is doing.

Agreed although I'd knock a point of each of your scores...

How many did you knock off for Boris's abject failure to come up with any costings for anything? I'd agree with your scores btw.

 

[lostexpectation]

paddick and livingstone were both born and bred in london, boris has much less connection with london, he thinks london is a toy for him to play with, he shouldn't have been a candidate.


ps wheres the tread congratulating whatsherusername on her appearance newsnight last week, still talking more sense then most on the airwaves.

 

[Iguana]

Paxman really hated Johnson though didn't he.

Paxman; Who of these two candidates would you vote for?

Paddick; Neither.

Paxman; You seriously can't choose between these two?

Paddick; No.

Paxman; You can't be serious!

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Paxman's great
