[Politics] The General Election Thread

[Lever]

He's not very good, even his own side don't like him and he is a puppet of the unions at their beck and call. All adds up yo bankruptcy 2

The first part of your statement fits Johnson perfectly.....

 

[Lever]

Seen it much better than the lib dem cant accept a vote party and the Labour let's bankrupt the country again party. Which one do you support

Of course you are entitled to vote for the Party that brought you.... https://boris-johnson-lies.com but .........why?

 

[vegster]

How many lies will Boris tell tonight? Will they pull him up on it? I doubt it as the media would prefer a Johnson parliament than a Corbin one.

The lies come too fast to keep up with, he won't get pulled up because Etchingham and Corbyn will barely get a word in. Expect bluster, piffle and waffle and interruptions all the way through, if Boris slows down it will only be because he has run out of bull.

She's doing terrible. She isn't even allowing them to finish sentences.

Corbyn has so much more integrity than Johnson (not saying much I know) but he really should have had more of an answer for what side would he be on with his new negotiated deal. Could have said he would be more supportive of his deal than the Troies crap one. Also, how is Johnson not pulled up on the fact we have been paying DUP billions for years versus a possible SNP coalition.

She’s useless......can’t stop them speaking half the time, then does stop them when they’re in the middle of something more critical. Feels like she’s simply got a 20-second timer and flips them alternately. It’s bloody annoying.

Boris I think he's been coached by Prince Andrew, JC is making mince meat of this bubbling fool

They should have microphones which they control. Politicians more bothered getting their one liners out than being polite.

Boris avoiding eye contact with Corbyn.... always a sign of a liar .

I admit I am surprised. Johnson is such a practiced liar I would have thought he could also fine tune an ability to 'lie as he looks'!

Very irritating. Needs somebody like Andrew Neil to try and keep the debate in check. Instead it's just people talking over each other.

Isn't this just project fear?

No.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Boris Johnson is doing terribly. Not listening, talking over everyone and trotting out the same tired Brexit statements again and again.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Oh dear Boris.

He is getting smashed out of the park. Won’t make any difference though.

 

[dazzer6666]

Corbyn’s glasses make him look like a kid that’s been bullied at school. Put them on straight FFS.

 

[Weststander]

Just like QT:

1. Corbyn playing up to his noisy disciples in the audience, some laughing from his enemies.
2. Ditto for Johnson.
3. Hopeless host.

It should be held without the totally biased, noisy hordes, with a strong host such as Andrew Neil.

Concentrating on the meat of policies, NOT micro speeches to their fans.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

If this was a football match Etchingham would be subbed during the break.

 

[Mike Small]

The injustice of Johnson criticising Corbyn for Anti-Semitism when no-one is talking about all of the racism he has written himself!!
