Peter Mandelson slaps down Andrew Marr, part2of2 (07Jun09)

[jamodaman1]

mandelson is a genius

[si4106]

mandelson gd innit...much better than marr

[James09854]

HAHAHA HAZEL BLEARS DID NOT CRITICISE THE PRIME MINISTER????!!!!!!! MANDELSON IS SUCH A FUCKING BLATANT LIAR.

[redyoda10]

@James09854 Putting your comment in allcaps doesn't make it more impressive. Look at Mandelson-learn from him. He makes careful, intelligent comments in a soft voice. It doesn't change the fact that he's a complete bastard, but he's a masterful politician.

[100imachristian]

what a fucking joke and a big puff..him and his clan destroyed this country..he should do what he does better>>>tird burgling

[comanchio1976]

@100imachristian How very christian of you! I'm no Mandelson fan,buut at least I dislike him for good reasons(2 faced and backstabbing) Hardly surprising though coming from someone who cant even spell turd!

How has labour ruined the country? Are you starving to death sitting in your own shit?

[astro7894]

Marr is just another stupid UK tv journalist who wouldnt know the first thing about how to conduct a civilised intelligent interview.

[KakaCracker]

Haha amazing. The greatest spin doctor, the Prince of Darkness.

[ciaran3707]

Ends the interview with a smile. I'm surprised he didn't give Andrew Marr a lollipop.

[anufrijv]

Suddenly I respect Mandelson...

[johnmichaelwilson]

Lord Mandelson at the top of his game.

Andrew Marr looks out of his depth.

I give the Tory party 5 years max if they get a majority. People forget what life was like when the Conservative Party were last in power.

[louiswalsh2009]

Lord Mandelson is in a different League!

A Brilliant Politition.

[sportsportsport]

Mandelson is a great conversationalist. It's almost an adept art.

[chipchipchop123]

ummm andrew marr owned again lookes like it

[PatRibsey]

I don't think he kicked ass. He basically said, when asked what specifically the government will do:

"we'll make Britain really good and work really hard, honest!"

[0SXM]

jew scumbag

[invinsible]

Oohh you shit headed people......what the hell are you talking about..."he´s a cunt`, a sucker etc. etc....yes he is gay so what? He`s like every other politician and his private life (sexuality) is non of our buisness.

"he is jewish" so what? I just dont get you...if you have any fault to critisize than say something about his political skills etc. and not about things which only snotnosed racists who have no respect for human privacy and religion can think of !!

[ToulacAxeHand]

@invinsible

I'm neither a Labour or Conservative supporter. But I have that level of intellect that narrow-minded party supporters don't have, to see that Lord Mandelson is a fantastic politician, and a note-worthy speaker. The fact he's openly gay when faced against such parochial attitudes increases my admiration for him.

[exdoode]

hear, hear ... I think he's a remarkable man

[mrflibble101]

@exdoode Mandelson is a politcally genius and the reason the media and politicans dislike him, it quite frankly because he's smarter and better at the job than they are.

[kaypaxian1]

this man is the reason nobody should vote, corporations are running the country, the saddest thing is anything that makes money is great. and people dont matter, i didnt vote for the country to be full of migrants, the rest of the family silver to be sold off, ie post office ect.

[THALIDO]

"The Count"...

[matchbox555]

wow mandelson kicked the little ass of that tory scum andrew marr

[dannylavelle]

we can't let them privatise any more public SERVICES they'll go after the nhs next

[gozdeburcu]

he says what he want to say in a superb polite way and leads the policy to the success.....

[tinsoldier101]

Talks a lot and says nowt as we say in Yorkshire

[ofri75]

I love this British minister !

I just heard he stands against the boycott of Israeli goods that are produced in the west bank!

He also knows how to talk.. that dumb interviewer didn't have a stand ... :)

God bless Israel, USA, and Britain

[jammybizzle666]

yes he is jewish.

fuck israel, the oppressed are the oppressors.

[stewartiona]

He's trying to talk about what the government are trying to do to ease the recession and sort out the expenses situation.How is he using his "manupulative smug arrogance" to get his way in this interview?People dont have to believe what he says.This is a democracy! Quite obviously someone who is more interested in trying to help the difficult situation our country is in instead of delving into the unimportance of political personalities and creating drama around the PM which is what the BBC want

[runzordockz]

Well versed in spoiling tactics and spin He speaks at length, but says nothing. Every bit as self-serving as Tony Blair, notice his many meetings with multi-millionaires, and every bit as untrustworthy. He talks of what the people want to hear, but he cares not one bit what the people want to hear. He has his views and will use his manipulative smug arrogance to get his way, because people wil listen to him and believe what he says. Beware! There's only one person on this man's agenda.

[ukdotcom]

Just close your eyes and imagine what this man does for enjoyment.

[exdoode]

which man?

[ukdotcom]

@exdoode  huh?

[theblueoysterbar]

Marr got his balls handed to him.

[Clavinovaman]

I have to say that Andrew Marr was slaughtered during this interview. I bet his legs and hands were shaking at the end.

Of course, Lord Mandelson is one of the vilest politicians that we have (and have ever had). By the same token though, he is as sharp as sharp can be. Hugely intelligent and quite probably the puppet master of our PPM Gordon Brown. PPM = Puppet Prime Minister.

[Socksbike]

Well done Mandy, the press in this country (and Marr is far from the worst) are incapable of moving off a soap opera agenda. It's just personalities to them!

[ukdotcom]

What has this poof got on Blair and Brown? Twice had to leave cabinet and now a Lord?

[davecotuit]

this what? THIS "POOF"-- WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!! hey, i hear you fuck goats in the ass. is that true??????

[ukdotcom]

Yes, this POOF or PILLOWBITER if you prefer. Goats? what are you talking about? you silly person.

[davecotuit]

not silly at all! everyone knows "poof" is an insulting word for a gay person. it is outrageous and unconscionable that this insult would be directed in public to one of england s finest public servants.

[ukdotcom]

I am ever so sorry, I should not have used the word POOF to descibe one of our most vile politicians. Perhaps BROWN HATTER or ANAL DEVIANT would have been better. Anyway I do not need any lessons from you with the likes of 'fuck goats' etc. I think you are likely a youngster.

[davecotuit]

EXACTLY RIGHT! i am a precocious 3 year old and i m here to tell this fascist pig to go see if he can perform an impossible anatomical act by FUCKING HIMSELF IN THE ARSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ukdotcom]

Yes I thought so, your immature way of expression stands out a mile. Are you a queer as well?

[ukdotcom]

Why do you say I am fascist?

[allyuk]

..I wouldn't say fascist. I think most people reading your comments just think you are an attention seeking tw*t.

[ukdotcom]

Attention seeking? do you know who I am? further, you do not know how to spell twit.

[karundeepm]

Peter Mandelson just rips Andrew Marr to shreds and rightly so.

I dont think any television presenter would be sharp enought to tackle Mandelson, even if they got Jon Snow to interview him.

A legend of a minister.

[jamaicanification]

i must say, mandelson may not be likeable to many, but he was certainly calm and composed compared to andrews indecisiveness

[tinsoldier101]

Mandelson is UNELECTED

[comanchio1976]

@tinsoldier101 ...so is the queen

[gweriniaeth]

Mandelson = unelected imp!

[andrewfyffe]

unelected pimp*

[benjc82]

If he were smoother, he'd literally be a sheet of glass. As for Plug, grow a pair.

P.S. Lord Mandelson... ha... ha...

[Geordiekeef]

An object lesson in passive aggression.

The old "Calm down" and "If you'll let me get a word in" routine. He talks on and on regardless, while Marr simpers his 'humorous' little asides like a bullied little boy.

If Marr is the best the BBC can put up against this creature, God help us. Why can no-one can lay a glove on this guy?

[philging]

Very poor performance by Andrew Marr. How disappointing that Marr was not better prepared with his facts and questions to get some real answers from Mandelson, who is a past master at evading the issues.

Where is Jeremy Paxman when you need him?

[MadameJoan]

Paxman and Mandelson are good friends so I'm guessing the BBC don't want them to have an interview because of that and also, I'm guessing Mandelson knows Paxman well enough to do similar to him what he's doing to Marr here. :)

[firebreathone2]

Peter shouldn't have had an interview with Andrew Marr... He should have had an interview with Jeremy Paxman :)

[croemar]

Labour and Mandelson is garbage

[gagothesith]

1 INTELLECTUAL INDOLENCE: Marr could have saved himself embarrassment if he had bothered to prepare an exact quote from Blears and a specific Brown policy in his 'more of the same' question.

2 BLUFF: Nobody in his right mind should dare challenge with Mandelson with 'Look me in the eye and say ___'--the man can and will say anything without batting an eyelash.

3 TRIFLES: Surely there are more serious charges against this government than 'women are only window-dressing'--point those out.
