Kim Hill bowing out of Saturday mornings

[R2x1]

"Lilith7: Surely they could let her interview each leader of our political parties one last time  before she retires - I'm sure it would be ever so interesting, given that she has nothing to lose & there's an election looming...?? "

Sorry but in spite of convincing performances our Politicians are not all as stupid as we might think.
They would run a mile (or 1-1/8km)** sooner than submit to an interview where the truth may emerge. Where illusion is all you have to offer, the disillusioned are not taking pre-election bait that is pretty vigorously deployed. There's more than enough sycophantic incompetents offering "Interviews" that follow the political speech writer's script with total obedience, Kim is not going to leave smoke undisturbed or mirrors camouflaged for the sake of an easy day at the office . . .  She invariably knows considerably more about the interviewee and their real views than a cursory Google session might reveal, so advertising, propaganda and bovine effluent is bound to be returned at speed, while  snake oil is likely to be ignited and returned along with the BS.

Politicians of more image than substance didn't get where they are by staying in the kitchen during a warm spell.

** ps: It is election year, so if you're expecting a promised mile to yield more than 1.125km - welcome to the real world
