waitingscot Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Did anyone else just watch the interview with Peter Mandelson and Ken Clarke on Channel 4 News? I think I just saw a man have a nervous breakdown on the screen. Peter Mandelson couldn't stop talking, interrrupting Ken Clarke, and repeating the same inane drivel over and over again. No need for cuts, growth is going to save the day. Over and over and over again. Then to top it off he started talking about himself in the third person: "Peter is going to do this", "Peter is going to do that.". Maybe the clip will be posted on youtube. It was a classic. The man's a nutjob. The country appears to be crashing with madmen at the helm. Edited January 26, 2010 by waitingscot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Masked Tulip Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Yes, fascinating. Suggest people watch it on Channel 4 +1 at 8PM. He did a bizarre lean-over at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, Mandelson behaved no differently to his performance in other recent interviews. I think Labour have completely lost the plot and being run by too many competing megalomaniacs.

Gotta see this C4 site with excerpted video: LINK Both men's voices raised a pitch and the pair drew physically closer as the debate progressed.At one point Mr Clarke told his rival: "Peter, for heavens sake. I know you're worried, this is very bad news for you, but for heaven's sake behave yourself." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel stallion Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) We all know he's completely deluded. What's new? True. Seriously though, how, how, HOW? Has he become so powerful. If you read a brief summary of his 'career' it is littered with shame, scandal, embarrassment and failure. Add to this the undeniable fact <crazed, hypnotic, spinning, satanic eyes> you agree with me, YOU AGREE WITH ME </crazed, hypnotic, spinning satanic eyes> that nobody would leave their child in a room with him, even for a moment (think about it -you really wouldn't would you?) due to his almost Biblical creepiness, how has he become more than a despised headmaster (which is what I imagine he would have become without his 'powers')? Serious question - anyone know how he has managed it? Or does the Government have that much contempt for us they will inflict him upon us as an all-powerful demi-god politician with a shrug of the shoulders and a 'fukc them, they'll never notice' smirk?

Scott Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 So in one brief interview he has pretty much admitted that interest rates will stay low and QE will carry on. Gilts up, pound down and our credit rating shot to pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallingbuzzard Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) I think Labour have had their plans somewhat thrown into the air because few expected 0.1% preliminary. And with the revision not until the end of next month, its cut down their options on setting a date considerably. Hence the still very slick but moderately flustered cucumber sitting next to Ken Clarke. Did anyone else just watch the interview with Peter Mandelson and Ken Clarke on Channel 4 News? I think I just saw a man have a nervous breakdown on the screen. Peter Mandelson couldn't stop talking, interrrupting Ken Clarke, and repeating the same inane drivel over and over again.

sunonmars Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 What i found astounding is the bit where Ken Clarke says : Ken: ... we have the biggest, fastest rising debt and then under his breath but caught on the mic Mandelson replied : Who cares? Astounded i was just stunned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkie Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 If you keep repeating the same old thing over and over again, you might yourself start to believe it...the rest of us just see through it for what it is worth, not a lot...words are cheap or in certain cases worthless.

lulu Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 So we have 'Who Cares' and 'So What' in our ruling cabinet. God help us , Quite right, the vast majority of the morons in the country do not care as they do not understand, and NuLab have made it their business to ensure that they never will. The majority still go with the old mantra of the Tories = bad and Labour = good therefore the masses (not that they would be watching Channel 4 news) would still think after seeing that interview that Ken Clarke is a fat rich Tory and Mandleslime is a really nice bloke because he's in the Labour Party and they look after the 'hard working British families' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
