I just watched Andrew Neil do two interviews with Nicola, she didn't have a clue, none of them do, just like Abbot and Lammy, totally unprepared to face the worlds greatest interviewer.

webbo, Andrew Neal is the worlds worst interviewer, all he does is fire questions and give them no chance to answer. Gawd he even made me feel sorry for agent Cob once. May as well interview the mop bucket.

[webbo3]

He has all the BASIC facts, these are the simple things the interviewee should know.

so when's the illegal referendum?

[THECORBYLOON]

Since you watched the BBC debate this week, you'll have heard Nicola Sturgeon say, "What I have said consistently all along - sometimes to criticism from people on my own side of the argument - is that I would not countenance an illegal referendum, not least because it would not deliver independence."
