Maybot Malfunction On Newsnight

[Gromit]

This Daily Mail report on the car crash interview Theresa May did on Newsnight is scathing.

I don't think I have ever seen the Mail so vicious toward a Conservative Prime Minister.

After reading that, there is little doubt that May is toxic, a lame duck and a dead woman walking.

Do you agree that she will now be removed sooner, rather than later?

[EDDIE51]

I think the 'Maybot' nickname is going to haunt her for the rest of her time as a politician.
By the way I'm glad I'm not not the only AB member who has commented that naomi is wasted on AB, when her talent for 'spinning' would be of immense value to the Tory party or her hero Trump !

[saintpeter48]

Zac ........ That is my view, she is partly responsible because it comes with the job and she is a member of the Tory party who for years have been cutting services that affect the poor in our society, if you think that i'm a moron for thinking like that, so be it.

[-Talbot-]

Can I assume mikey, EDDIE et al. now don't want a Labour government?

[mushroom25]

It’s now being reported that contrary to what MPs were told only days ago, Grenfell survivors are now unlikely to be re-housed in the local area near to their friends and families, or near the local amenities (eg schools, GPs, etc) that they’ve been accustomed to using. No accurate word on how far out the authorities are looking for accommodation, but it wouldn’t surprise me if a proportion end up in Newcastle upon Tyne.

[Zacs-Master]

We're all entitled to our views StP. Even if they do make us look rather silly.

[saintpeter48]

I don't think you've made yourself look silly at all Zac!!

[Zacs-Master]

;-)

every day she stays in office she makes Corbyn look more attractive. Which doesn't bother me, of course, but it ought to bother her party and its diehard voters that she's doing Labour's work for it..

[Gromit]

Interviewer: Have ypu misread the public anger?

May: What I have done since this incident took place is, first of all, ensure that the public services had the support they need in order to be able to do the job they were doing in the immediate aftermath.

Interviewer: Did you fail to understand the public's anger?

May: This was a terrible tragedy that took place. People have lost their lives and others have lost everything, all their possessions, their home and everything.

Even if there is no culpability on May's part, by not answering a straight question, she comes across as evasive. People are usually evasive when the truth is unpalatable.

I watched the interview , mays replies were well rehearsed the questions to her were irrelevant,

[jno]

yes, great answers, anne ... possibly to different questions, though. Very rude of the interviewer not to ask the right ones.

[Gromit]

Like shooting fish in a barrel for the Daily Mirror, but a good cover non the less.

[Zacs-Master]

Did you really expect a politician to say 'yes, I seriously misjudged people's anger'? C'mon!

[Garaman]

No, but perhaps start the reply with 'No, I didn't misjudge people's anger at all, however I thought my time would be best spent...'. It wouldn't have come across like she was avoiding the issue.

[jim360]

It's clearly not fair to ask a politician a question that demands a difficult answer.

[naomi24]

jno, it bothers me that Jeremy Corbyn’s intended ‘work’ extends far beyond your imagination. We already have his Marxist buddy McDonnell urging insurrection. The Conservatives aren’t doing that work!!

Jim, There have been some pretty moronic demonstrations of that anger. Perhaps, in not answering the question directly, she was being diplomatic.

[mikey4444]

If there was another Election in the next week or two, who would win ?

[naomi24]

Mikey, who is that question to?

[Kromovaracun]

//Perhaps, in not answering the question directly, she was being diplomatic.//

Aren't you someone who values straight talking? Or are you so blindly loyal to Theresa May that you just won't conceive that maybe she is dishonest?

Do you feel dizzy from all that spinning?

[naomi24]

Krom, I’m not spinning. I really don’t understand the moronic response I’ve seen reported on television, and I doubt Mrs May does either so why would you expect her to say she does? She’s criticised for not meeting the victims immediately, but the moment she goes anywhere near the scene of the tragedy she’s heckled and booed – and that serves no practical purpose whatsoever. Of course she could have lied and thrown in a bit of gesture politics to suit you - but she didn’t.
