That 'interview' reminds me of the Paxman interview with Michael Howard.
Funny the difference in responses though from the usual suspects on here
The problem that Howard found and that Corbyn will also find is that you need to speak to the press and TV news - no matter how annoying you find them.

Is he the actual 'Leader' of the labour party then ?
I thought that was part of the job
Glad I could clear that up for youOriginally Posted by Jimmy Jimmy wrote on Tue, 15 September 2015 09:38
under UK law, you have the right to remain silent but anything you omit can be used against you. Corbyn omitted an answer thus this can be used against him - he is clearly hiding something.Originally Posted by Colonel Cærdiffi wrote on Tue, 15 September 2015 09:36
I know you mostly talk bollocks which you are proving admirably yet again in this thread , but this nonsensical comment is truly mystifying , even for you.Originally Posted by Feedback wrote on Tue, 15 September 2015 08:45
So tell me, what is he hiding and how will it be used against him?Originally Posted by Feedback wrote on Tue, 15 September 2015 09:41

Are you comparing this with the Howard/Paxman interview or not?Originally Posted by Elwood Blues wrote on Tue, 15 September 2015 09:45
Funny that as Caroline Flint when applying to be deputy leader said
"Communication: I'll go on the Today programme and Question Time (just like I did yesterday!), and sit on the Good Morning Britain sofa, and explain to people what Labour stands for and why people should support us, as well as defend the party on difficult days.
Commons: I'll deputise for the leader in the House of Commons at Prime Minister's Questions."
- It's like a tap that keeps on giving.
I truly hope Corbyn comes up with something of an alternative - would love an end to austerity - as promised.
your response is symptomatic of my mistrust of socialists. you simply cannot accept differing opinions to yours and look to talk down to those who don't share your world view.Originally Posted by Mick the Miller wrote on Tue, 15 September 2015 09:42

perhaps that was only the first question and the journalist had more questions to ask. We will never know as man of the people Corbyn believes his politics are above scrutiny by the press.Originally Posted by Colonel Cærdiffi wrote on Tue, 15 September 2015 09:44
If he had more questions then he should have piped up, the fact he asked the same provocative question repeatedly shows he had nothing else up his sleeve and Corbyn was right to ignore him, especially considering the fact he went on to appoint 16 women in his cabinet shortly afterward.Originally Posted by Feedback wrote on Tue, 15 September 2015 09:52

After watching this video I have come to the conclusion that Labour are now a serious risk to our nation's security, our economy's security and your family's security.Originally Posted by Elwood Blues wrote on Mon, 14 September 2015 23:03

That's absurd logic. The press have a right to ask him questions and he is well within his rights to ignore them - that's democracy. It's also worth noting that the "free press" that is "one of the cornerstones of our democracy" is not some neutral entity but is heavily weighted in favour of the political right. They have been involved in a rabid campaign of character assassination against him over the past few weeks and if he wants to give them a silent two fingered salute that's up to him. Whether, tactically, this is good politics or not is another question.Originally Posted by Feedback wrote on Tue, 15 September 2015 09:00

maybe Corbyn only appointed the women once he realised that he was now being scrutinised closely and this journalist was the catalyst. you cannot prove otherwise so don't even tryOriginally Posted by Colonel Cærdiffi wrote on Tue, 15 September 2015 09:59
I am not railing against Corbyn, I am watching his supporters froth at the mouth when it is pointed out he cannot turn water in to wine.Originally Posted by Colonel Cærdiffi wrote on Tue, 15 September 2015 10:02
Or has it confounded you also ?Originally Posted by Feedback wrote on Tue, 15 September 2015 09:51
EDIT: I just want to say, you saying that he only appointed women because some git on the street questioned him about it is up there with one of the most insane things you've ever said, and there's heavy competition for that spot.Originally Posted by Feedback wrote on Tue, 15 September 2015 10:11

That doesn't change the fact that Corbyn avoided the question. Somehow I don't think if Cameron did that that those defending Corbyn here would be so forgiving.Originally Posted by babyloncardiff wrote on Tue, 15 September 2015 10:10
