Bishop Briggs Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 James O'Brien. Who has the added benefit of being Not A Fucking Tory, unlike the entire fucking rest of them. Rest of them? Who do you mean? Nick Robinson was the National Chairman of the Young Conservatives but he does not come across as a partisan Tory in the television. David Dimbleby and John Humphreys are not Tories. The Dimbleby family, through their local newspaper empire, had a history of supporting the Liberals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jambo-rocker Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Aye, he's a good interviewer, much avoided. Apparently David Cameron and Ed Miliband refused to be interviewed by him in the General Election campaign. Not sure if Nicola Sturgeon appeared on his shows, I think she might have? She did indeed. Got fair skewered too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Poor old Thumper probably thinks that the BBC's Kirsty Wark, Evan Davis, Laura Kuenssberg, Jim Naughtie and Sarah Smith are Tories too. Then there are those Tories Jon Snow and Paul Mason on Channel 4. Those effin' Tories are everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Jeremy Paxman at his best was unbeatable. Tough and uncompromising. Dimbleby and Humphreys are good but getting on a bit. Stephen Sackur is okay. The rest of the Beeb's interviewers are pretty dismal. Jeremy Vine is just smug and irritating. Justin Webb on the Today programme is the worst I can think of. Went native when he was BBC's man in Washington and defended American torture, gun laws and the whole Iraq debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I think he's an awful interviewer - usually bases his questions on badly-researched tabloid trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpma Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I met that Andrew Neil once. Standing at the prebooked taxi hovel, waiting for 'All the Fours' to work out where Edinburgh Airport was, black taxi parks up, driver asks me if I'm Mr Neil. "No mate" says I, cos I'm not. Five minutes later, a wee man in a big coat wearing a yellow tie and with a brillo pad on his head walks up. "I think that's your taxi there" says I. "Thanks" says he, gets in to the taxi and departs. Doesn't even tip me a farthing. Still, proper gent he was. True story. Forty minutes I was waiting for that bloody taxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct answer was "yes, I'm Mr Neil, take me to [your address]". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
