    He didn’t come across as terribly Labour through and through in the run-up to the election. So many journalists these now are just propagandists for the government that one who isn’t is the one to focus on.

    Don't be daft. He doesn't care about anything other than himself. He just happens to have found an opening as someone in the media willing (and able, because they won't speak to serious journalists) to hold the government to account.

    I have no problem with what he’s trying to do. No fan of the truth should be. I’d rather he gave people more of a chance to speak is all. I’d also rather he wasn’t such a narcissistic prick too. But no problem with the truth.

    Have to agree with that to be fair. He's only bothered about himself but he is asking questions that should be asked but never seem to be. I dont like the bloke, he has his own agenda but at the moment he's the only person scrutinizing some of the ridiculous actions or lack of actions by the government.

    Not sure what his allegiance is but he did vote conservative in the last election.

    Do you think so?
    I quite liked him before this crisis but I think his behaviour has been disgraceful. There's one thing holding the government to account which is fine but all he seems to want to do is get his opinion heard and not let his guests speak. He aggressively talks over them and is only concerned with point scoring. Despite missing out on the gorgeous Susanah Reid I've switched over to BBC now.

    Yes, that's when the damage was done. Chinese New Year. It needing locking down before that. Milan has a huge Chinatown.

    Yeah, I know what you mean about his technique, but no one from the government will submit to serious media - or more importantly, parliamentary - scrutiny. Because we are in a crisis situation they think they should be able to get away with a daily propaganda broadcast. This is wrong. I keep hearing people saying that we shouldn't criticise them because 'they're doing their best in a difficult situation'. If their best isn't good enough, why should we put up with it?

    This is what I will discussing on the Conspiracy thread mate. Some are saying ( by the way they maybe wrong) that China allowed many to fly even though they knew they had it.

    In all honesty, I couldn't give a **** who he voted for, who he likes, doesn't like, point scoring, popularity, air time etc etc. He asks the questions that need asking right now or questions some of the decisions that have been made. I'm glad for that cos no other **** is and we just suck up what we are told without a second thought. His aggressive nature is without a doubt rude and obnoxious but how many times do politicians actually answer a ****ing question? Next to never or they just divert on to something else.

    We should be questioning and demanding why thousands of people are landing daily at airports and then are just free to go wherever they like without even a single check on their health! We should be asking why PPE has been and still in some places is a problem to obtain. Ventilators etc, lockdown restrictions etc. Apparantly (according to matt hancock) in january we were one of the best prepared countries in the world for what was coming. We have the right to question that but unfortunately, Joe Public doesn't have the voice.
