Pretty damn unprofessional I thought. Badgering a politician is one thing, but an untrained (likely) member of the public, at the head of a street protest?

That interview led directly to this. Listen until the end

[Asterix]

I normally like KB but she was out of order then.

[TheEnd]

The British public voted for a hung parliament? Did they? can she find anyone that wanted that?

[SmoothRB]

I thought she had a point and the guy was a quiche-eater.

Besides, Sky got heckled.

[Swilly]

Untrained !? untrained my ass, that guy had his script brainwashed into him like any post-student wannabe politico who is looking to make a name for himself at the first opportunity.

[Sheets Tabuer]

Hearty chortles from me, I loved his stuttering at not being able to answer her points, you can see his "feck oh yeah" moment.

Fair votes my arse, one of them had a capitalism isn't working banner, Rent-A-mob the lot of them.

[Balmoral Green]

I thought she was out of order too, until it was pointed out in another thread that this guys specific mob had been chanting, jeering and drowning out all other previous interviews and she had been unable to do her job or get a word in. So when he took the stage, she got her own back on them and took him down.

Was quite funny to watch though at the time.

[SmoothRB]

I think he secretly enjoyed being humiliated by her.

[Sheets Tabuer]

There was something sexual about it

You've been a naughty boy..
Yes mistress
Did I give you permission to talk?

"There's a risk at the moment that lots of shady deals go on behind closed doors"

You're asking for PR! There would be lots of shady deals every single time we have and election if we had PR. Just look at what's going on now. Did anyone vote of a mongrel of the Con/Libdem manifesto? That's what you get in many European countries.

They are a bunch of idiots. They don't really know what they want, but insist that what we have isn't what they want. Good job Kay.

[Semi hemi]

Irritating naggy ginger minger.

"The people voted for a hung parliament"

Was there a box with on the ballot paper with "hung parliament" for you to put an X in?

She should cringe when she sees a play back of that, very unprofessional

[Mr_B]

If you get your news from Sky, don't expect much else but st.

[Randy Winkman]

She's an idiot - nobody voted for a hung parliament.

[Frederick]

Exactly... I voted for a tory government - not a hung parliament...

KB was bang out of order, the last dying gasp of someone desperate to steer a conversation their way is to repeat the same things over and over again until they get the answer they want.

Sky should have some serious thoughts about keeping her locked away in the news office where she can't do any (more) damage...

[Andy Zarse]

I'm appalled that some PHers are siding with the leftwing lentil bloke. He wanted to act Billy Big Potatoes as a spokesperson for the baying mob behind and he got shredded by a professional hatchet woman. He should either never have agreed to go on TV and look like a cock or have had a decent proposition. In the end, he's an empty-headed moron with no ideas of his own. He deserved every single moment of his public humiliation and we need more of this sort of dissecting of big headed idiots on TV.

[Frederick]

Not siding at all with the yoghurt weaver - but KB acted inappropriately there. As I say, putting the point across by repeating again, and again, and again and shouting the opponent down equal someone who is failing at the argument.

A good, cohesive argumentor would reposition and reword their argument on the fly - not go into stuck record mode. KB seems simply unable to do so.

I can't believe there are people who think she did a good thing there, irrespective of the other person - she's just managed to show that she can't hack a proper two way debate - she took it personally, and that is not what a TV interviewer should do. In an interview, you ask the person why they believe in what they believe in, and find out their opinions to the alternate side - you do not foist your own opinions on them.

The whole segment was very, very uncomfortable viewing.

[Mojooo]

Nothing new from the silly cow.
