Panama Papers - BBC interview UK Business Minister Nick Boles

BBC Breakfast - 8th April 2016
Car crash interview for Nick Boles with a relentless Charlie Stayt regarding David Cameron's use of offshore funds.

Go on Charlie! So there is still "some" real journalism in the BBC.

"So what is this business? Is this a bad business? Is this an embarrassing business? You're the business minister, what kind of business is this?" Definitely had an element of Chris Morris from the Day Today about it at the beginning. There was a quiet build up from Charlie, right up to that "You must be deluding yourself" moment. You could sense it was all going too nicely and something was going to give. Nick Boles clearly thought by doing the usual political tactic of avoiding a question with a long meandering answer on what was obviously going to be a short interview he could slither out of it. And then at around the 5.50 mark he cannot answer a simple yes/ no question and goes on to moan about the length of the interview! As ever there was a polite thank you from the presenter, leaving an image of a politician who seemed to be unable to respond. Maybe there was a time delay.... Well done Mr Stayt.

Charlie Stayt: Why the Prime Minister thus suspiciously didn’t share the whole story with people from the first place? Nick Boles: It was a slip anyone would make for their late father. Charlie Stayt: No, the question is not about his father, but the whole story wasn’t shared. Nick Boles: He did pay his due taxes. Problem?

BBC most have grown a pair 😲😲😲

Typical Tory! Do as we say not as we do!

[@CedrickVillasenor]

Now that was a heated debate and in reality journalist should turn up the heat when politicians recite fixed answeres. Although I have to admit Mr. Boles was quick to counter.

The 'trending' videos system really isn't working. A ton of videos like this that only have a couple thousand videos keep on getting classed as a trending video. Sort it out KZbin

[@J0rdhardwell]

+Sam Guppy Rather have news suggested that what ever tripe BuzzFeed are pumping out these days.

[@smcg8504]

trending means views are rising sharply it may have low views but its rate of view increase may be high

[@Bluekipper1962]

Go on Charlie . Watch out for unfortunate accidents.

[@robertconvery1839]

what a grovelling creep. Can't answer a question honestly. Well done Charlie.

[@handsomefingers]

Wise people simply exercising wisdom in their economic transactions. Nothing wrong with that.

[@outlawJosieFox]

Corrupt people benefitting from secret arrangements the rest of us have no recourse to, that's what I say.

[@Thamyris13]

+Josie Fox Save your money then you can benefit from similar arrangements.

[@darkfightlight1939]

who's up for a good pig hunt?

[@hakanalper5417]

Awful lier, Cameron out!

[@seanpan5231]

Tomorrow the PM will want you to talk about Putin and Chinese president's brother in law.

[@stugall]

Charlie Stayt at his best.... a super presenter who likes to probe, well done....

[@mathieuleader8601]

What about Cameron's channel island funds

[@taxipandy]

Where did the money come from though? Is this corruption money? Can he prove its legitimate money? Why do i have to prove where my money comes from to the Government and that its not drug dealing money? Why do i have to explain to banks everytime i put money in or out of them? Why has no one in Main Stream Media asked the PrimeMinister these type questions?

[@clashtastic4391]

haha brutal!
