Why? Snow is as much a journalist as Martin. Questions were always going to be asked and Martin answered them very well.
OK, but his researchers weren't as good. Fancy tugging at the heartstrings via a disabled man who'd never heard of the site he intended on blaming!:mad:Good, clean fun....MFW #11 2015 £7657 / £8880

My problem was that he wasn't letting Martin answer his accusations, he was talking over him all the time. I could visibly see Martin almost resign himself to being interrupted at every turn. I think Jon Snow has his eye on replacing John Humphreys on the Today Programme, as he was doing a good impression of him. I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe

What I can't understand is why no one ever replies in a sarcastic voice when interrupted:
"well if you'd let me answer the question, you'll find out"
I would (though that's maybe why I'll never be interviewed on BBC R4/C4)
I thought some of the comments from Jon Snow were bordering "out of order" but all in all weren't too bad. Martin handled himself well anyway, and didn't come out of it looking bad at all...0 -
Is there a recording of that programme? I missed it0

The actual interview with Martin is a few minutes in tough.
1st chance I've had to view this.
without rushing to martin's aid: this is a pi$$poor piece of tv journalism but, sadly, all too typical.
neither martin/whelchair guy were given sufficient time to respond.
hardly informative to a discerning audience, eh?miladdo0 -
He has done well to get his son in on the documentaries.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0
