Why Is Andrew Marr Such A Balm Pot?

[ToraToraTora]

In his interview with Boris Johnson this morning the EU position hardly got a mention all he did was cut him off and barrack him about his ambitions. Andrew, you pl0nker the subject we are debating these days is the EU referendum, in or out sunshine, get with the program.

When Boris can't get a word in edgeways you know the presenter has jumped the shark. He even said, 'It's the Andrew Marr Show, not the Boris Johnson Show'.

[ToraToraTora]

so why bother having guests just talk about yourself for half an hour Andrew. See how many watch that eh?

I totally agree, it was one of the worst A Marr show I have seen. It is very important that we are allowed to listen to both sides of the EU for & against points of view. I was really angry this morning trying to hear Boris's very valid reasons for quitting the EU which was spoilt by constant interruptions from A Marr. I feel strongly that A Marr should be censured by the BBC.

Barm pot I think

[bhg481]

Apparently balmpot, bampot and barmpot are alternatives. I thoiught it was barm pot, so I looked it up.

[Old_Geezer]

I think you are all just making up potty names.

[ToraToraTora]

ok now we have established acceptable spellings for balmpot, can we get back to the subject in hand.

Boris is now Public Enemy number one. Expect a lot more of this from the Establishment.

[douglas9401]

Could be worse, it could be the Melvyn Bragg Show.

[Svejk]

When he listens attentively to Labour dissemblers, he's like a little lap dog waiting for a pat on the head. Stomach churning.

[agchristie]

A discussion marred by the interviewer :(

[naomi24]

I didn't watch it, but I will.

It's here for anyone interested.

[naomi24]

Sorry, that doesn't appear to be working.

[Gromit]

Just watched it on your recommendation.

Marr did let Johnson put his case at the beginning of the interview without interuption for 5 minutes, before he started to debate with him.
I agree the interuptions were annoying, but not as bad as I was expecting from your post.

The first question posed on last Thursday's Question Time was something along the lines of, "Do those in the 'In' and 'Out' camps believe that we will vote for whoever are the biggest scaremongers." Can't recall who the guy in the 'Blue' corner was, but he got first dibs at answering what was, imho, a straightforward and pertinent question. Instead of answering, though, he was allowed to prattle on for 3 or 4 minutes telling us why he, personally, was in the 'Out' camp. Shame on the Beeb and Dimbleby for not challenging him.
