When you’re making people think “bring back Piers Morgan” then you know you’re a mega cunt
Why do people care about what this douchey poundland Alan Partridge has to say?
Everyone knows we need to stop using fossil fuels, inconveniencing every day people trying to go about their business doesn’t help anything apart from stroking these leg beards ego.
I think he did the correct thing. This is the kind of pressure and questioning that the activist should be expecting and be ready for.
The more prepared the better the argument the easier to make a point to close down argument.
Edit) so being ready to face a journalist like this from witnessing their tactics is down votable.
Cool.
Richard a Madeley who’s only concern during the pandemic was his sons flight to France being cancelled. I’d like to know his response to someone questioning his daughters “influencer” career, or whatever she does, in such a condescending tone.
From the clip (I don’t watch GMB, I have a job), looks like she did really well.
That being said, I also agree with Madeley’s interview technique. As he said there was little support from their viewers coming in and he was reflecting their viewers.
By asking the difficult questions the viewers presumably would ask too, it actually gave this activist a good opportunity to objection handle these. Which I think she did a great job off. She certainly made me think twice on a couple of points.
As usual, some random ‘news’ site is trying to stir up divisive trouble where there isn’t any.
I was surprised to find out Richard Madeley was still on TV. Mind you I have a job.
He says that the slogan Just Stop Oil is “very childish” and “very Vicky Pollard”.
I seem to remember he was a fan of saying “Get Brexit Done” . . .
We shouldn’t even be giving these cretins airtime
There’s no fuel in my town again thanks to these hippies
Read the headline. Read the comments here.
Then watched the video expecting something savage and edgy.
Turns out, unsurprisingly, it’s just more click bait nonsense.
Watch the video. There’s nothing ‘savage’ about it.
Questions the name of their campaign. Suggests there’s more to the debate than just stopping oil. Points out there’s not been a single message of support in their viewer messages.
It’s hardly jaw dropping tv is it?!
Sounds about right for Madeley; no attempt to discuss the issue, just superficial ad-hominems and whining about traffic. Maybe he’s angling for a Tory lordship?
That wasn’t savage at all. His argument about hypocrisy was very stupid though
Madeley is a discount Pier’s, loves the sound of his own voice and would climb over your Nan to get himself in the limelight.
Richard does this constantly with guests. It makes my stomach turn listening to it. He will use every fallacy in the book, and throughout the interview he will speak in a tone and find any way possible to provoke the person. For example, in this case calling “Just Stop Oil” childish and trying to get the high ground by saying that there’s “more to it than that”. Yes, Richard. We all fucking know that. It’s a catchy slogan, not a manifesto.
*Oh, “Good Morning Britain”? Sounds a bit childish, Richard. I mean, it completely ignores any nuance. I mean, what time in the morning? Just any old morning? It seems to leave out a lot of detail.*
Jeez that website is a cancer. Just link to the Twitter post!
Rather than “savage”, this was just depressing. The arguments of Madeley and Turner were weak, and if they’d had a situation where a protester with perhaps a little more debate experience was present then they would have easily been trounced. It’s madness that anyone thought it was a good idea to have a sole 20-year old activist against mutliple people who each have been in front of the camera interviewing for longer than she’d been alive.
Stop Oil “So Richard our choices are A: Some comparatively minor inconvenience and expense now or B: catastrophic climate change and an existential threat to humanity in the not far off future.”
Richard I’m-a-twat Madeley “Our viewers and sponsors choose B! B! We want B! Never mention A again! I can’t hear you La la LA LA LA LA”
Whenever I see Richard Madeley’s name, I always think of Richard Whitely and think
1. “eeeeh what a nice man”
2. “Love countdown me”
3. “Miss me nan, its been years”
4. “Hod on, hasn’t he been dead for donkeys?”
5. “Ohhh that cunt”
