Paxman didnt vote either-the hypocrite
 
To hear him sanctimoniously try and devalue Russell brands opinions and actions as irrelevant simply because he didn't vote.....yet paxman the political agent provocateur didn't even bother voting himself

Id say this puts brands efforts onto a higher plain than before.....in fact paxman says he think brands is in fact right in much of his argument and his disillusionment with these idiots who have ruined our country for decades

Really, is there a quote of him saying this?
I can believe it though, he must have been so sick during that interview no matter how eloquently or emotively Brand expressed his reasoning for the decision Paxman harped back to that.
It did seem he was just coached to discredit Brand, no matter how many excellent points he had.

I thought the point Brand was making was that he's never voted whereas Paxman just didn't vote in 2010.

Isn't it Paxman's job to play devils advocate to whomever he interviews? That's not really a new thing.

Kizzy 11-11-2013 12:21 PM

The fact is he didn't, how can he question the despondency of others if he feels the same?
It came across as mocking in parts.

Exactly, it's the job of a good interviewer to ask the questions that those observing the interview might be asking... Not to have a one-on-one conversation on a personal level.

I observed the interview, and that wasn't the only question on my mind tbh.

The thing is paxman was doing his job but he went on norton basically saying brand was right. maybe brand is the wrong person and a little foolish but right never the less

he had a good go at the prime minister paxo on norton i like him .
