Paxman nailed by Plaid Cymru economist

  • Paxo starts off in his usual condescending way towards anyone without a Home Counties accent - but quickly finds out he's not dealing with another Westminster cocktail set drone. Plaid Cymru's economic adviser, Eurfyl ap Gwilym, sets the arch Celtophobe straight on a few matters, whilst Jezza faffs about like a beached whale. 2:15 is where the real fun starts.

Went back a few years ago for a walk down memory lane and it’s a shit hole. Every decent pub, restaurant and hotel that was, all ramshackle and empty. Literally deserted. And this was the more scenic mid-north. Down south is a fucking Gaza Strip

    Nice going Plaid! Never liked Paxman personally, he can act SO holier-than-thou. Notice how after every question asked, he NEVER lets the person answer it. Right or wrong answer, it doesn't matter how completely ridiculous the answer is, you must let the person finish their answer, then you can rebut it. Only then can you have a successful debate. Paxman doesn't seem to understand this rule.
