The kiss of death?

Aaargh! You have revealed my source, nanaej!
How will I ever live it down?

Like me ana I expect you just googled 'where was Osborne during Paxman interview' and not because you paid good money to read it!!

There was a similar article in The Guardian - does that make it truer?

Yes, nanaej
...interviewers accept responses etc. etc.... very frustrating for viewers.
I should like to go further than that. It is infuriating.
Even Paxman is guilty of it.
At the end of the day it feels as if :we are all "old boys " here, so we will not take it any further.
Another thing that used to irritate me to death was the BBC LECTURING the news, rather than reading it. So insulting.
Since the arrival of Sky , they have somewhat altered their method.
Talking T.V here, not Radio 4.

nanaej.

No i'm not. No offence taken or intended I am sure.

I am very interested in politics and sadly watch too much politicaL t.v, coverage and news, especially Parliament Live. I like to think that if I watch what is being said and by whom I can answer and debate knowing the truth as I have watched and heard for myself what has been said. I cannot be accused of not knowing the truth then and I hate partisan politics. I can understand why GN might think I could be a 'right wing spy' but if you met me you would find that as funny as I do.

If you look at my comments I will not start a political thread but I will state my mind having given proper thought to the question. I guess at this moment in time I do lean more to the right but that has not always been the case. If Tory, Labour or Lib Dem annoy me I will say so. The same as yourself, as I have observed. Surely to debate is healthy and in a funny way whether a GN is left or right, that's fine, at least we all share in an enquiring mind and that to me is a good thing.

ana well two opposing sources with same story..absolute truth!

pogs I was joking! your question just made me smile! I love a debate and am unashamedly socialist in my political leaning but am not affiliated to any party. IMO current mainstream politics is causing the general public to get less engaged because people do not see much difference between the parties or how voting for one rather than another will have any significant impact on their day to day life. I get involved in practical campaigning groups for issues I feel strongly about. This helps me to feel I am being proactive rather than reactive.

Look forward to our next encounter, even if you are a Labour party 'leaks' officer..
