We know he's bonkers, but selective videos like that do a disservice to Andrew Neil. Reckon he is better than that and shouldn't be putting it out there. Or is it a different Andrew Neil? It is the BBC Andrew Neil. I get what you're saying, especially from an active political presenter on telly but I think most BBC faces have nailed their colours to the mast re. Trump now. What's with the "Hoax" stuff though, how negligent a comment is that?! Does Neil still have his early evening show on BBC2? I miss This Week it was good.

I think the BBC staff have definitely made their opinions known. Not so sure it's ideal (with trade deals to start eventually) as he will use anything like that to bolster his ratings. Just hope he's voted out before too long. Do need a good, credible alternative though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted March 30, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2020 It’s cute that Royal still defends him. Its like cheering a 90th minute goal when you’re 6-0 down. We hear you, but it’s sympathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selecting bits that make him appear at his worst. I know he's a nobber, but I don't see it as a BBC journalist's job to be posting stuff like that about a world leader. Putin is a corrupt, nasty piece of work but he's pretty much portrayed with a straight bat. Much rather they just stick to news items with clips of his briefings and let the public make their own mind up. He'll just love this from Neil- more power to his elbow.

The bloke is a loon, we all know. Just not the job of the BBC to be telling everyone. In particular a high ranking, esteemed journalist. Highlights the problem of social media for me. Just prefer them to stick to news programs and interviews. Keep to the moral high ground and don't fall into his cess pit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 A presidential election always favours the incumbent, it’s basically a vote on the President rather than who he is up against This one will boil down to how many dead bodies over the coming months and the general reaction to this Pandemic If it’s hundreds of thousands of dead and bodies on a hospital Car Park as they can’t get beds then he’s toast. You could put Jeremy Corbyn up against him and he would make a fist of it If America gets on top of it then he’s a shoe in for re election Talking about being back open for Easter won’t do him any favours though, he’s going to look a right dick head in 6 months if they’re still fighting the pandemic with social distancing Lets see if the election even goes ahead in November, be hard to see that if it’s anything like it is right now. That would work for Trump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have big ideas but don’t go into who’s gonna pay for it. I like Bernie as a person but he’s a bit of a fantasist. Corbyn is a fantasist and a gobshite and a scruffy twat.

Sorry. i was mistaking the jubilant “4 more years” type phraseology as a validation for him. I didn’t realise you all thought he was shit. If I didn’t know any better, I’d get to thinking that you only like him because he upsets most people. But at least you and Royal are now on board. It was only a matter of time. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
