Current Affairs The General Election

[Tin-Tin]

Marr = useless.

The BBC have actively thrown in their lot with the Tories at this election and it'll never be forgotten.

They have become our version of Fox News - the fact that the BBC and the rest of the billionaire owners of the media are so terrified of him getting into power should tell us all something.

29 people who apart from a couple will remain anonymous: such is their weakness of character.

One of them is a Scouse Alf Garnett

At least he pipes up and owns it....

Its politically and morrally rotten to the core.

The political correspondents it's assembled are purely Tory Party stenographers with no redeeming qualities.

It's over for the BBC.

No doubt they'll post-election, in an effort to show what clean hands they have, make a Panorama programme or launch an internal inquiry that suggests that they didn't follow protcol in 'some aspects' during the election.

It's not on, though. They are so far to the right now it's not open to debate. The 'national broadcaster' is captured.

I disagree. The best way to pin him down is to have an interviewer who cuts him short when waffling and playing for time and asks him questions he cant answer and underlines it to the audience that they cant answer them because they dont have a clue.

For most people it is - but for people like him who don't accept that other people have a view on reality it never works, they just waffle, delay, interrupt or come out with non-answers. The way to deal with those people is to get them to talk as it (as it did today) becomes obvious quickly that they really don't know anything.

...all of which doesn't explain him running scared of Neil.

...all of which doesn't explain him running scared of Neil.

I am not sure that he is - for all the other things he's actually been scared of, they have been quite clear that he will never do them.

With the Neil interview on the other hand they keep dangling the possibility of it, probably with the intention that he will be able to get a prime time slot a few days before the election that gets millions more viewers than it normally does, all with an expectation he'll get smashed. I rather suspect Neil will go easy on him and we'll all be told how well the PM did compared to everyone else.

[Corbyn] will also say that, under a Labour government, police will be able to use "whatever force is necessary" to protect and save lives.

"If police believe an attacker is wearing a suicide vest and innocent lives are at risk, then it is right they are able to use lethal force," he will say.

Trust some of you (not looking at anyone at alll) will be changing your level of support for this ‘murder’ inciting monster.

We get it, you hate Corbyn and McDonnell (you even wished a heart attack upon him), but what about about Boris Johnson and the Tories? Do you have any vitriol left for them and their policies?

No. That's a gamble he and his controllers aren't taking.

I don't think that's it. I think Labour got the reason right - it's to make sure the postal vote deadline has been and gone before he does it.

Is he? They are both ex-Spectator hacks. It'll be rehearsed to death.

And you don't even rate Neil anyway lol

Possibly, but I think both of those thoughts assume that Neil would monster him in such a way that it would damage him (and them) so badly that it might put the election at risk.

I just don't see Neil, with all his history, doing that and there are obvious benefit to them in having a huge number of people watch it, a couple of days before the vote, with really low expectations of how Johnson will do.

 

[dannyboy]

It´s no Bansky but fair play to Iain Duncan Smith for this graffiti. Absolutely spot on.

 

[dannyboy]

Oh and he´s going around telling lies as well. Him losing his seat would be a thing of beauty, one of the worst of an extraordinarily bad bunch.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Andrew Marr had a go at Johnson this morning but he kept interrupting him and the whole thing was a bit of a mess.

There wasn't enough time for a proper interview.
