Current Affairs The General Election

Started the process of jibbing off my licence fee today. Hopefully, plenty of others will do the same.

Shameless.

Utterly shameless.

The neutered BBC not even bothering to hide their bias anymore.

Set the rottweiler on Corbyn.

But have Johnson interviewed by his pet poodle.

Ha Ha Ha.

The BBC need to be mothballed. A completely crooked and corrupt organisation that backs paedophiles and neo-liberal political organisations.

Let's face it, they tried their utmost to popularise and normalise the politics of Tommy "Robinson".

They are not fit for purpose.

A haven for nonces fronted by a once public utility.

It's a parody account ; probably will happen though.

Not if the empty chair him, as they should/might do.

I'd empty chair him and read a list of ways he's spectacularly failed.

It might be Guido Fawkes (or not), that well known Brexiteer who has Irish citizenship.

Has Matt Hancock been taking maths lessons from Dianne Abbot?

It's dodgy ground the Tories are on really not turning up. While there is a bias between the BBC and the Tories, the key point is it's not supposed to ever look absolutely explicit. In such cases it loses it's affect.

If he doesn't turn up, the BBC's competitors will be all over it. Piers Morgan and Sky News (both essentially Tory outfits) will see opportunity to attack the Tories and the BBC on their hypocrisy. Morgan has already started down that line.

You also have to factor in, that this is Neil's big moment. If this year Johnson pulls out and see there is no consequence, don't expect anybody to ever do an interview with him or potentially the BBC again.

So I could see a scenario where they empty chair him, and Neil reads out a list of failures that he'd like to ask Johnson about. It would be prime TV.

If he doesn't turn up, also factor in this will be a major talking point. I'm sure each opposition leader if pressed will pivot back to it- however bad you think I am at least I am brave enough to turn up. It kind of reduces the damage of a bad interview.

So in many ways I hope they try to pull out. People are very aware of it now.

It's a lose lose either way, as if he turns up, he will be wholly embarrassed as well.

How anyone can trust a party as warped as this lot is staggering when they are involved in organised lying to this scale. Hitler operated like this and I hope the head Rabbi realises this.

I read this earlier. Absolutely disgusting, the comments about the LibDems pushing sex work as a job option to kids are lower than the sewer.

Doubt that tbh, it really does boil down to JC being unelectable because people either fundamentally dislike him or have no confidence in his ability to deliver anything because he is not a politician. Plus his own ideological commitment to Brexit made an already intractable problem ten times worse - took him three years to utter a simple, credible, statement on the defining issue of our age.
The policies are good in the main, they are timely and people are receptive but not if they are in Corbyn's name.

It's like the Everton board saying we're looking for a 20 goal a season striker who is athletic, presses hard from the front and has good all round technique so we can play a coherent attacking game.

Dominic Calvert Lewin says he plans to score 20 goals this season, work on his fitness and technique so he can press hard from the front and play an intelligent game that creates opportunities for teammates.

Both of those statements are saying the same thing but one is barely credible and the other is a complete fantasy. Swing voters hear JC talking about forging a new future for the UK and just switch off as it's equivalent to DCL saying he plans to score 20 goals this season.

Cult of personality, could have just said Johnson is more my style of politician and here is another football metaphor, play the ball not the man.

Party’s dossier contains dubious and outdated claims about Lib Dems and Labour

Snide little party propped up by lies, the rich, and the subservient who just love to pretend they're in the gang
