Journalism at an all time… low.
But not as low as the IQ and “on the job” knowledge of Emily Thornberry
shes the shadow foreign secretary!!!
her job is to study world affairs.!!
labour is finished.
Due to the guest.
They’re both useless
Not a great interview and an even worse response
she threw the Jews under the bus as well………….Labour Disgust me to
my core
+I LOVE JEWS i just dislike her really – she cant argue anything and blames
it on sexism
+The best 2016 The best i EXIST ON HYPERBOLE….
i bet they fucked hard after this
thornberry what a joke
She’s the shadow foreign secretary and she can’t name the French foreign
minister.
Labour are an unelectable mess.
Exactly!!! And she gets paid!!!! Ridiculous!! The whole party! She weakens
democracy as does the whole sham of the so called “New Labour Party!” Tax
payers money goes to these parasites! They couldn’t run a bath!!!
An MP upset that she is asked tough questions on a ‘Sunday morning’.
To be fair to Emily Thornberry , I don’t think the French foreign minister
lives within the confines of the M25 , how could she be expected to know .
And he’s not a character on Spongebob either, so she can;t be expected to
know
If this interview revealed one thing, it’s that the guest, when confronted
by a man in this case, will use an ‘ism’ to deflect from herself instead of
taking the blow, gloss over it and move on. She’s a politician and a
interviewee on a news program being questioned by a presenter. The
presenter is supposed to question and probe to reveal truths the guest
would otherwise not reveal to the public. The presenter thus did a good job
in revealing the guest’s desire for privileged status in not being treated
like other politician’s who sit in the interview chair. If she thinks she’s
being treated unfairly, I’d urge her to go look at Jeremy Paxman vs Michael
Howard on youtube… Who were both, men and the presenter still grilled the
politician. Maybe then she’ll gain some perspective on the relationship
between media and politicians and realise she’s no exception.
Nobody read this btw.
No offence!! But she is supposedly the Shadow Foreign Secretary…. And she
doesn’t even know the names of her adversaries???? Pathetic!!!! All she can
do is attempt a “Sexist” allegation. Rubbish! She should be SACKED!!!!!
Pathetic!!! Pub quiz??? It’s her JOB!!!!!!!
Shadow Foreign Secretary? How embarrassing. She should have stayed at home,
cleaned the house and cooked a Sunday dinner for her husband. Nothing
embarrassing about that.
She should be sacked immediately.
Corbyn can’t afford to. Labour are in such meltdown there’s only about 10
people who’ll serve in his Shadow Cabinet, hence how this clown ended up on
the front bench.
Emily Thornberry just sums up how much of a joke the labour party and the
state of politics is.
hahaha… she could just have said “no i dont know the name” and that would
have been it, but she had to go on and make a scene…. typical women.
Flabby Thornberry is a complete buffoon…she is pathetic to play the
sexist card because she cannot answer the questions….she also plays the
race card for silly reasons and she makes excuses for the insane cultists
who commit atrocities in the name of islam.
Foreign secretary ? What a joke. She’d be more attuned to say banning
Christmas or having questionable ‘Liaisons’ like Mr Vazeline !!
emily thornberry has a hairy arse.
Incompetents always hide behind claims of sexism. She doesn’t have to be
smart or up on things – she’s a woman
Neither of them covered themselves in glory in this. Neither of them knew
when to shut up either!
