Andrew Neil on the BBC - Page 2

Surprised I've never seen that then, 'cause I read Private Eye now and then.

He really is such an arse though, he just interviewed Cameron who said that there are Xm people who don't work in this country, who claim benefits but could actually work. He argued that we should get them into work, which Neil found astonishing. "But how many people will this actually affect Mr Cameron, have you considered that?"

**** off.

He's an arrogant smarmy bellend, but he does have a certain watchable quality, especially on This Week.

Sit when ill btw

he's a tit, but he reins in his views enough to make a reasonable host - and considering the Beeb have hired no less than Kelvin Mackenzie to present shows on 5live, Neil isn't even the most 'vile' political commentator on the BBC. Richard Littlejohn gets dragged out on Sky News too - surely the man whose face most resembles his personality? actually he's got competition there from Bushell

The woman is Pammella Bordes.

I've never really noticed him being a tw*t particularly. Don't follow that closely though.

Mark Mardell ftw.

his fronting of the party conference stuff is pretty irksome, given the total labour bias that he appears to have. there really should be a degree of impartiality.

He's a big arse of a tory I'm afraid.
