[Politics] The General Election Thread

[Deadly Danson]

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

Honestly it's distracting isn't it!? I know it shouldn't matter but these details do make an impression. For what it's worth I think Corbyn started very nervously but his debating skills and empathy are winning the day for me. But I highly doubt anyone has been persuaded either way to change their inclination.

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

noted......

 

[KZNSeagull]

Neither has said anything remotely interesting so far. Host useless.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

It's clear that when put in this position, Johnson is totally hopeless.
Corbyn may have some policies you don't agree with but he is head and shoulders above Johnson.
This debate is a farce, Johnson yet again not answering the questions but slating Labour instead.

Exactly what you might expect from a debate from these two clowns.

If you want to watch unbelievably incompetent tossers doing really badly at something you'd expect them to be half decent at, well the second half of the Scotland game kicks off shortly. At least the outcome of that one is actually FUNNY.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Good God, is this what this country has come too, do we really have to choose one of these two buffoons.....

The NHS will always be under growing pressure with the people living longer and a growing population.
Just like homes, transport etc, etc, it’s a constant catch up, no matter who is in power, it will always be a stick to beat the opposition with no matter who is in power.... can’t people see and understand that.

This.

It all seems so frantic, a few seconds to Nuremberg rabble-rouse to their fans who snapped up all the tickets, before feeble Etchingham interrupts.

Preplanned laughing and sneering at both candidates from Tory and Labour supporters.

So little meat to the bone.

ITV shit shower.

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

She’s the ref....would leave to boos and chants of ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’.

Boris Johnson and his fellow privilege chums, plus that maniac Cummings are a disgrace. Pathological liars at best. They'll probably get a majority too. They'll say whatever they need to people to get their vote.

Boris just said they are putting £34 billion into the NHS what's he forget to say is the Tories have put only 1% increase per year over the past ten years which is the lowest under any government since the foundation of the NHS and consequently the £34 billion is less than half the overall % increase would have been under any other government since the NHS was founded

All thoroughly pointless. People’s minds were made up in 2016 as to how they would vote in any GE until brexit is resolved. Nobody is changing minds tonight.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Corporation tax back to the levels of 2010!!! Communist scum!

 

[Blackadder]

Boris goes harps on about Brexit in every answer.

 

[Hugo Rune]

And there’s the Boris clanger. Siding with Prince Andrew!

This.

NSC’ers Corbynista’s portraying tonight as world cup glory for their man.

This has been an awful non-debate, with NSC’ers and likely the greater public not shifting their views one jot.

Imagine if all the leaders were there! Anything is better than the BBC Tory leadership debate with Emily Maitlis though I have to say.

Boris goes harps on about Brexit in every answer.

He's running away in the polls primarily because of his stance on Brexit. He'd be stupid to not mention it at every opportunity.

Corbyn " We have a situation where over the last nine years of austerity we have seen an increase in Billionaires along with an increase in poverty and homelessness "

Boris " We have a strong economy... "
