You started it pal.

And by the way you are just not very well informed.

Leave it!

Leave it!

Ok fair enough.

Just watched Newsnight myself and all I saw was a really irate woman constantly asking a man questions, and interrupting after 3 words of his answer, asking questions like "what do you mean by that", then of course interrupting again before he has a chance to reply. Really poor interviewing. Your task as an interviewer is not to try to score smart arse points but to give the viewer information and insight. She failed miserably.

Par for the course these days at the BBC.

Agreed. Absolute pond slime. Hopefully he will go bankrupt and I cannot remember wishing that on anybody before

Mike Ashley?

You didn't see the interview? In time for the Excel facility opening. He said hope to get some in April, which is rather vague.

That would reflect the nature of the questions. So vague as to be meaningless. I saw the interview in its entirety and the fact is a lot of the questions were nonsensical and unnecessarily argumentative. She says "What does 'ramping up production' mean". Well go figure. But whatever you do don't listen to the answer. I know for a fact that there are thousands of additional ventilators being produced at the moment and would have liked to hear some more meat on the bones from him rather than her constant interruptions. Pin him down by all means but at least let him answer the question before you judge his answer !

To be fair, it was reported as caused by a landowner control-burning that got out of hand, rather than arson/BBQ negligence.

Fair enough. Just saw it from afar and was reminded by that post.

He thought the NHS was filled with people claiming to be "angels" and "heros" (sic) and that it was "rank average at best". This crisis has showed that the NHS is the dogs' bollocks. And always was. Spare me the revisionist rubbish.

I said I disagreed with him.

Marsden Moor was on fire Monday night.

I wonder why ? ;)

The questions were (a) when will we get these ventilators and (b) why hadn't you done something earlier - and same with PPE and tests for NHS staff. Answers included that Gove is heading up procurement...

Judge for yourselves. 20 mins in. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000gp8x/newsnight-25032020

It was the odious **** Nadhim Zahawi and he got everything he deserved.

As for Mike Ashley I notice his latest wheeze is he has charged Newcastle United fans for next year’s season tickets already.
