Well said young lady.

Of course, this will have been scripted for EM but no doubt she had a hand in drafting it. Brilliant Dispatches programme on Channel 4 last night looking at the likely long term effects of Coronavirus. Worth watching on All4

Emily Maitlis certainly seems to have bamboozled the hard left crowd on Twitter, who were complaining that she was anti-Corbyn at the time of the General Election. Now there are some applauding her journalistic talents and others refusing to praise her, saying they still hold a grudge against her from before!

I don't watch much TV these days apart from sport and news. In fact with me getting Sky Sports and BT Sport from BT TV I hardly ever watch BBC 'direct' so to speak and lobbing out again after 7 years of a free licence is a gripe. Anyway readers I digress from the main topic so here's my view.

Maitlis is without doubt a well read ambitious woman and I don't hold that against her, she's from the same mould as Laura K. Jackal says she was anti Corbyn but I would say she typifies the BBC's seemingly left wing and liberal views. In a nutshell I think many Presenters (if not all) come over as being judge and jury of whatever they discuss and become most indignant if challenged or immediately cut off an interview if they appear to be losing the argument their researchers have scripted for them. A recent Newsnight interview with Ruth Davidson put Emily in her place and I'll always remember Sebastian Gork telling Evan Davis to get his facts correct before interviewing him on American politics. Another 'Right up his own arse merchant' is Piers Morgan, Richard Madely is another..... and so it goes on with the 'Cooks', Antique dealers and other 'experts' too many to name. Might be an idea to start a thread on which TV 'Stars' we detest ...... there are many making a handsome living for doing nowt!!

EM writes her own scripts for this kind of opinion-led material, apparently. Impossible to argue with a word of what she says.

She’s triggered the ‘BBC are biased’ Spiked, Alt-right loons at least as much.

Nobody at this level writes a script without judicious editing by a sub.

Is it just a coincidence that you didn't say a single word about what she actually said?

Or is it that the truth hurts?

Jesus, you are a bore my friend .... but here we go. Maitlis was carrying on the repetitive question (must have been asked !00 times and recurring) concerning who in the government would make a final decision on a large issue should Boris be incapacitated as Raab was not the official deputy PM. Before Maitlis could finish, Ruth interrupted her and said the decision would be taken collectively by the five senior members of the cabinet just as Raab had repeatably said it would and as Boris had dictated it should do - and therefore there was nothing more to be said on the matter. Strangely EP I've not heard anyone on the BBC ask the question since, have you?

Truth hurt? You mean the truth in your own Socialistic eyes which count for nothing to me personally. As said a hundred times or more before, I'm happy how my life has panned out, with ups and downs the likes of which you've never experienced. Don't ask me what they've been as some would shock. So you carry on with your disagreeing of most things I post and I'll reciprocate. Just out of interest do you know of Caunton Engineering who work from, and own all of, the old Moorgreen colliery site, it's local to you is it not? Well if you ever want to see how an ordinary bloke (Tom Broadberry was a welder) and his pal David Bingham (Salesman) developed the company from a tin shed in Caunton into one of the most prestigious structural steel company's in the country, let me know and I'll get you a tour around. I don't think you'll find many of the employees criticising their boss's Tory views, they were country boys and Simon (David's lad) who wholly owns the company since Dad retired still is. But then again engineers are down to earth people and make things happen and create jobs and that's what it's all about at the end of the day ....... making things happen while those of a Socialistic mind whine and complain and want a good living on the wealth created by others. Mind you at the end of another boring day it's nice to return a load of rubbish to you in return for the garbage you post to me. Keep smiling through ..... you might win something eventually.

Not for the first time, you've completely misunderstood what I was asking and posted yet another one of your tedious 'wealth creator' replies.
The original post was about her Newsnight intro on Wednesday and the link was put there for you, all you had to do was click it.

Although it's probably wasted on you, I'm sure in your bigoted world you'll be convinced that if Boris survives coronavirus it will be because he's a really brave battler and a leader, and anyone with left leaning sympathies would have just rolled over and capitulated.
