Ed Milliband on yesterday's union strkes

I'm not even going to state why I'm posting this, just watch it and make up your own mind.

It just strikes me as a massive facepalm. Just wanted to see what other people thought of this.

Is that a joke?

He makes one speech, and repeats the same thing over and over again. "Get round the negotiating table"... "it's wrong"... "reckless and provocative manner"

Surely he's not for real. Either that or I had the video on loop.

[cptwhite_uk]

I thought it was a joke too, but it's not. He repeats the same thing 5 times, completely ignoring the interviewer's questions. Makes a right idiot of himself if you ask me.

In fairness this sort of thing happens quite often in politics, sadly the soundbite is more important than actully expressing your opinion and honestly answering interviewers questions.

For Ed Milliband in particular he has a incredibly thin tighrope to walk here, dont heavily criticize the unions who brought him to power but dont support them too much either as public opinion is too divided when polls query support for the strikes.

Further proof that no matter who we vote in, we're still screwed

lol he should have asked him who was going to win the David Haye or Wladimir Klitschko fight. Would have got the same response.

I read he had 3 PR people with him the whole time.

[Tumble]

all I could hear was:

"THAT WOULD BE AN ECUMENICAL MATTER"

[yuan.li]

on a maybe non-related topic i think uk governmnt has the most stupid deficit cutting plan ever.

[G4Z]

Came across as a total mong.

[petercook7]

haha, i thought it was a joke...

[Biscuit]

What a complete broken record. That was just painful to watch.

Is it just me, or is it *every* time Ed Miliband is mentioned, copious quantities of fail come flooding by?

I think its pretty much the case for any political leader however it seems especially the case for this goober!

[Hicks12]

cant believe how bad he was.... really did think i was wastching the same clip over and over again, idiot.

[Mama Sumae]

Surely it falls under the business as usual category right? Avoid anything that might compromise your image/opinion, say something that pleases most, angers no one, targets the opposition and solves nothing at all?

If anything I applaud Mr Milliband's efforts to keep things simple and alert even the most distracted individual to how senseless and idiotic politics currently is. When these individuals speak (regardless of the party they support) I can't seem to avoid the feeling that I am being called an idiot, surely only one would be unable to see the B.S pouring out.

Cassette Boy got his hands on this video?.... oh, maybe not!
