And I can I CAN imagine BBC or RTE doing that same, he says. It's not partisan to shine a light on factual errors.

Well it was hugely enjoyable, and I could see Paxman doing the same sort of thing on Newsnight, but the key difference would be that the target of his scorn is present and invited to defend themselves. It may also be that the more monumentally dim British political candidates are rigorously weeded out in the selection process and therefore the verbal combat seems less one sided. I'm not sure.<br /><br />Good sport anyway.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931731022216058209noreply@blogger.com
