I knew from the title this article would be by Sunny.

Nothing more to say, really.

I thought it was the funniest political interview in years. Can’t please everyone, apparently.

Made me laugh.

It was amusing in parts, but it’s depressing that even for the high-brow programmes, this sort of inane questioning is all we get.

Not Paxman’s finest hour certainly – though I enjoyed Boris turning the tables on him wrt his salary.
Boris should have challenged him on his tax arrangements too!

Mind you I am quite looking forward to “When Boris Met Dave” on C4 tomorrow night.

Which just goes to show how stupid all those trolls claims of left wing bias at the BBC.

I mean, Nick Robinson is the political editor. Neil is the face of political shows , day and night on the BBC. And Paxman has become a Tory speak your weight machine.

It was amusing, but Paxman is past his sell by date. The interview was just like couple of chums drinking at the bar. He let Boris forage around like he always does.

Great stuff from Boris, but give the opportunity to ridicule the questions by a terrible attempt at interviewing from Paxman. Note: interviews are meant to be about the interviewee.

I loved the bit about Cameron going into PR. “[long pause] Well you went into journalism. Why don’t you get yourself a proper job?”

Boris is brilliant!

Paxman is a poor journalist with a puffed up ego, asking stupid questions.
Another example of his grandstanding

Much of this is just because you can’t get your heads around the idea that Boris may actually not be the bumbling idiot you like to portray him as and may actually know his stuff! If Livingstone had been there instead of BoJo you wouldn’t be nearly so critical. Sorry, but the center-right is currently in the ascendancy at the expense of the center-left. The latter is a spent force in British politics for a while to come.

Given that Johnson surrounded himself with such a dodgy coterie, the “bumbling idiot” theory is the most charitable. If it makes you feel better I don’t buy it either.

Interviewers shouldn’t join in with the Boris clown act. I agree with Jimmy Sands. He isn’t a bumbling idiot, it’s just an act that helps him avoid giving an straight forward answer to a question.

They should ask the question and if he doesn’t answer it move on. Don’t play along with him. Newsnight isn’t a comedy show.

Cameo appearances in Eastenders, Matey interviews with Paxo, Has Boris got some embarrasing photographs of someone very important at the BBC?
