AVB Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 There are some decent ones out there but I really fail to see the point of some of them. I mean the one outside no. 10 who shouts “Prime Minister do you have a grip of this”. What’s he going to say “yes, no, stop asking stupid questions”. Obviously he just ignores them as any minister does when question like that are asked. So what’s the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the same during the press conference tonight. Prime Minister, do you really have a grip on this? As i’ve said before, every man and their dog can come up with a question, but actually trying to find a workable answer to the question to suit as many people as possible is somewhat more of a challenge.

I think i’d happily buy the absolute vast majority a pint and enjoy a braw blether with, in fact i struggle to think of those I wouldn’t. Would make for an expensive round though.

Yes agree, whoever the bloke is ,he needs to get a life. He has been at it years and during Brexit must have hung around 24/7 . However I have never seen a single politician acknowledge his presence.

AVB Posted April 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 I suspect a lot of us have sat in presentations at work or social functions where you get the opportunity to ask questions. You have a killer question lined up but before you can ask it somebody else beats you to it. So rather than look a **** and ask the same question you mutter to yourself and ask your backup question. So do the journalists at the daily briefing do that? No of course not they trot out the same question. Yesterday was a record where I think five of them asked the same question. They are an embarrassment to their profession. If you can call it a profession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of the things that has become really obviously apparent to me, just how one dimensional and mediocre that most of them are, especially so with the higher profile names.

old man Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 To be honest, most are as useful as nipples on a garden take? Kunesberg, Reid and Peston being three of the most irrelevant and irritating of voice in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 I once knew a journalist from school, he was doing an interview with licensee's in my local, he was trying to get the landlord (who's family had been running the pub for to about 3 generations) to answer a few questions. He kept moving in front of me with his note book while i was trying to ask for my usual pint of Pedi, it came to the point that i just had to tell him to MOVE ! I think they are all just born plain rude and stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emely mouthpiece on newsnight bbc2 . She never let's anyone speak, she just interrupts them and lectures them. She was a pain on the Tory leadership. She likes to have 100% of the limelight and thinks it's all about her and the show guests are irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted April 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Today’s Q&A session was another shambles - mics on mute, journos asking the same question and even referring to PPE as PPP! Complete Micky Mouse. And this headline from the Daily Mirror earlier this month was brought to my attention. Well they got it a bit wrong (thankfully)!
