Ed Balls-up mauled by Andrew Neil, part2/2 (10Jun10)

[rahtidboydem]

Jeez..that FALSE plastered on face..those eyes like piss holes in the snow....if he was human he would look atleast abit upset at Andrew Neil...Every time he doesnt i just want to chin his nose over his face...

[holyer]

Andrew Neil is the best forensic interviewer in broadcasting. He is also scrupulously impartial.

[skywalkme]

comical Ali springs to mond

[csykes23]

I do not understand the mentality of our Politicians. It's obvious they don't get along behind closed doors because they're all sleazy, unscrupulous ego-maniacs, even to each other. They know we know when they're side-stepping honest points and avoiding tough questions.

If I had a penny for every time they are asked a question only to tell us how the other parties are doing it wrong, there would be no need to talk about the economy, because I'd be rich enough to sort it all out myself.

[robbmaclean]

Making the Bank Of England independent was part of the convergence requirements for joining the Euro dictated to the UK by Brussels. This was enacted the day after Bliar won in 1997 when Bliar was committed to forcing the UK to dump the pound and join the Euro.

Don't give me this BS about it being Brown's idea.

[PoliticalVoiceUK]

''Bank independence did work for us'' - hahahahahahah God, these Labour guys are getting funnier by the day.

[349quinman]

Goodby Ed....don't come back....please.

[RoofLight00]

I would give my left arm to smash Balls one in the fucking grill so hard the fat lying cunt would be eating liquid food for 6 months. come on Balls let's fucking have it.....

[Coleshill1]

sad really, Labour really did spend the most horrific amount of money , they should have increased taxes over the years in which they were in power which fueled our GDP growth, i love their ideals, but they just havent balanced the books, and we really are in the most terrible mess for many many years r to come.., well the kids are..!!

[TheAngryal]

To follow on - He, Balls, or his wretched party should EVER be allowed anywhere near No. 10 again. Ramsey MacDonald, Callaghan/Wilson, and Blair/Brown ALL left this country in ruins financially, in fact Callaghan /Wilson made us the laughing stock of Europe. Socialism is a cancer and should be wiped off the face of the earth.

[Coleshill1]

@TheAngryal yep mate, anyone can spend loads of money, even me and you can get a credit card, but look where that ends, !!! the labour parites live in cloud cooky land !!

[IlRezzonico]

Balls is a lying bastard

[BigMrMitch]

FAT FUCKING EVIL CUNT..end of story

[Donald6899]

Tosser

[Donald6899]

What an IDIOT.

[Uberdude25]

Andrew Neil tore this ghastly cunt to shreds,

[RoofLight00]

Good old brillo, giving Balls a right fisting. It's so obvious seeing him squirm like this, not to mention funny. It's all 'me, me me'. The man is a walking bullshit generator. Old Gordy, shafted by his bezzie mate baron Silas Greenback.

[manabouthouse]

Political THUG

[tarapinkerton]

awful awful man

[mrinvincible2001]

gordon brown with an english accent SO FUNNY!!! LOL

[codownni]

@mrinvincible2001

(E)nglish.

[dewheez]

I think it is a very rude and disrespectful thing to say by Andrew, and frankly it is racist. Proves no one is good enough to be PM from other uk countries except the english. He and his fellow journalists think they own the world and can shred anyone to pieces. I believe Balls defended himself as much as they would allow him. there should be a platform where these journalists should be made to account for thier own misdemeanors such as phone tapping, conniving to bring others down etc Ugly lots

[TheAngryal]

@dewheez Rude, Disrespectful,are you serious? Andrew Neil has more integrity in his little finger than Balls and the all of Labour's front bench put together.They are a bunch of self seeking chancers, champagne socialists, F**k you Jack I'm alright, career politicians who will flim flam throughout their political lives in order to make as much as they can out of the 'system',and the scumbag in chief is Anthony Traitor Blair who earned about £4M last year and paid less that 250K tax - Bastard .

[jbarks10]

Ed Balls is a nasty deceitful piece of work. So often misrepresents his political opponents and whips up hysteria for his own personal gain. And he'd knife Ed Miliband in a second for the top job!

[ironmonger100]

balls, the apology for a man who bought a poppy wreath on remembrance sunday and claimed the money back on MP's expenses.

[DigbyCaballero]

Ask him a sensible question, and watch him squirm.

[edwardm250]

balls=evil slimy arrogant liar

[TheZanipolo]

Balls shown up as nothing more than a careerist bullshitter. He's also an idiot because he really thinks we believe all his drivel.

[deeds1957]

He never even went red in the face, lying commie scumbag. It's the likes of him that should lose their jobs.

[dennisdahmer]

ed, you are one complete balls up mate, the clue was always in your name, or at oxford university drinking club, did the name have another meaning?

[RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF]

this moron never blinks ,hes a grinning lying piece of shit ,nice to see him and his wife are fucked off into oblivion

[miiawh]

total Balls

[Sunzuki2012]

1:35 Yeah exactly, thats little fact was conveniently forgotten by the Tory Press.

[josiahBLOGS]

There's unjustified hype generated about those charming Milibands without there being a shred of evidence either politicking sibling is appropriate as Labour leader. Have you noticed how the right wing media is inveigling us all toward the bruvs with patronising blurb? Because, right wingers would hate that strong independent characters with potent socialist fight in their guts of the ilk of bullish Ed Balls or huntress Diane Abbott were voted instead over them ikky 'gemini Milibands'.

[jbarks10]

@JoeBLOG5 Fucking retard. You and him.

[jbarks10]

You can blatantly see Ed Balls lying all throughout this interview. He, like Gordon Brown, thinks we're cunts. Well Balls you can fuck right off you spineless left wing sheep.

[tristancox]

I think that most of the comments on here are based on a much held preconception and not on the performance of Balls in this interview and not on how he has conducted himself throughout this campaign. He has gone up in the estimation of many, many labour party members of late.. he'll get my second preference, whereas previously I had him down as a Brownite attack dog. He's robust, he's principled and, unlike many other frontbench politicians, he talks about ideology.

[Jez2008UK]

I *love* Andrew Neil !!!!

What a star !

[MerckZ]

"It's got to be opposed by a good opposition, and that's what we'll be."

Hmm, according to my definition of opposition, you have to provide an alternative to what those in power are offering, not just criticism. I haven't seen a single Labour interview where any of the potential leaders have offered a solution to the deficit. They merely wail on about how the Tories hate schools, old people and jobs!

[jimbopumbapigsticks]

@MerckZ I cannot remember the last time I saw a Labour politician (excluding Frank Field) put forward a sensible and constructive proposition. They just lie, obfuscate, get hysterical, mouth platitudes and act like complete twats ALL THE FUCKING TIME. It would be funny if it wasn't so destructive. How can anyone take them seriously?

[MerckZ]

"I love rumours! Facts can be so misleading, where rumours, true or false, are often revealing..."

Ed Balls is a thug.

[stuartgibb]

Am I the one person who thinks that yes, Ed Balls is an arsehole, but he didn't have a chance to speak, whereas Andrew Neil cutting in and trying to manipulate the outcome of the interview allowed Ed Balls to escape and bluff his way out. If you let a liar speak freely, he'll serve only to destroy himself.

[youfatstinkypoo]

He's a thug but he's not that bad.

[paljim24]

Tosspot; hope he gets elected. He even looks like Stalin when he was a young man. It's the eyes: they stare and they are really scary. He is a psycho.

[MerckZ]

@paljim24 Griffin-esque.

[paljim24]

@MerckZ

If you mean 'Andy', sorry don't get the 'connection' but he did put on a good 'show' in the 60's; however if you mean 'Nick' then 'shame on you' mate! Scraping the barrel there for an 'insult'! Why not try 'communication'; as in express your opinion. You are perhaps Griffin-esque yourself; spooky.........

[MerckZ]

@paljim24 I meant Balls, not you! Lol. I think Balls has that psychotic glint in his eyes, much like Nick Griffin. Terribly sorry for the confusion :)

[jhfgruytty653gd]

On behalf of everyone living in Britain, I would like to offer a sincere thank you to Andrew Neil for this interview. He has now taken on Jeremy Paxman's mantle as the only interviewer who asks politicians serious questions. (Paxman has become a bit of a characterture now.) The questions on the cuts and Iraq are brilliant and expose Balls for the man he is.

[arthur1411]

@jhfgruytty653gd I couldn't agree more. Long live the brillo.

[Jez2008UK]

@jhfgruytty653gd

which is, an absolute CUNT.

[nomoreliesonlytruth]

balls is bilderburg scum bag.

[PHONEYPOLITICS]

TWO WORDS - HORRIBLE CANT

[myndecho]

Sadly none of the candidates running for Labour leadership have shown true worthiness and it seems like they're just going through the motions until David Mil wins. :(

[moorlandhunter]

Balls NEVER lets anyone speak, that is his way of ducking out of truth. Notice, every time a point is trying to be made againt him made he interupts the speaker.

[moorlandhunter]

Balls is a complete arsehole.

[DaveBrum90]

He says he believes in the free movement of labour yet wants more restrictions? Which one is it Ed?

[Blueyedblondeful]

I like Balls. Bit of charm to him.

[CelticReject]

Blokes a two faced liar. Nothing more than a liar. Flying by the seat of his pants all the time. Come on, is this the best that Liebour can come up with? What a fecking joke!

[ncurran1987]

Andrew Neil kicks arse here

[sugarraygras]

@ncurran1987 Ed Balls does well considering the temptation to get up and punch that hair weave hairspray mess straight off Andrews ass faced fat head must be overwhelming.

[sugarraygras]

@ncurran1987 Ed Balls does well considering the temptation to get up and punch that hair weave hairspray mess straight off Andrews ass faced fat head must be overwhelming. I would hit him right at the start.

[cheeckybutnice]

If they are all that close thats the best reason not to vote labour

new face old party .

[johneunson]

this guy really evil. the whole party is a mess. if balls takes over it will be never be in power again.

[sinclair61]

Talk about a split in the party, this is a bleedin´ Van Allen belt sized transvoid, Leadership race!!! This is a farce. It is also a disgrace and a real concern, that a two faced, lying individual like Ed Balls should cause EVERYBODY thought. He really is the pits of Human existence. Makes me very very angry indeed, particularly with the way the "party system" has done absolutely NOTHING for the nation it is employed to serve, nothing! Zero phuking compassion. Shameful!

[sinclair61]

Very enjoyable. Now lets demand his resig-bloody- nation! cabron!

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

i hate people that say 'look' to answer a question no matter how bitchy the questioner is

[sinclair61]

@chrisjoneschrisjones ...look, if I start like that I can talk about what ever I want to talk about and not have to answer the original question, you see

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

@sinclair61 look,what we are saying is....let me finish let me finish,what we are saying is that we are not saying that

[sinclair61]

@chrisjoneschrisjones what I am saying is not what "you" want to talk about even though it does have an indiwect synergy with your question, and what it is... is something that has absolutely nothing to do with what you are talking about, if you will. At least that is my opinion if you get my dwift.

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

@sinclair61 to answer your question,in retropect i should have agreed with my own policy even though at the time i didnt.but i did agree with it when i was forming the policy but got distracted by the tennis

[sinclair61]

@chrisjoneschrisjones ...look, I am sincere, surely that counts! I personally think that sincerity is a solid basis for putting policy issues together, I relish the challenge.

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

@sinclair61 i think that i may not be wrong,which doesnt imply that i may be right but simply that i passionately believe in whats right for the country

[VincesVinyl]

Why do we put up with these dingbats?

[sinclair61]

@VincesVinyl It is a shame to say it, but I put it to you that this is still going on because we do not have the courage of our conviction to actually get off the bottom and actually get proavtivist. "Descent is true patriotism" some US Presi. said.

[godlikeangel]

they've only admitted they've done things wrong since they lost
