All you would get from them is the well rehearsed talking points and nothing more than that.
And the news person would just right them down and be satisfied.

It's BBC you know - they still have real journalist, doing a decent job - in the US on the other hand - no politician's would have accepted than an tv journalist to ask this type of questionings at all - in fact he would not be allowed in the same City if the politicians was high enough up in the power structure I guess...
