The Election Broadcast Last Night......

[10ClarionSt]

.....what did you think? I thought it was a waste of time, too predictive. All the politicians said what you expect from each of them and when there were any disputed points you couldn't tell what they said because they were shouting over each other. A waste of everyones' time in my opinion.

Eddie, the YouGov poll showed the Tories wit a 3 point lead BEFORE last nights shambles, so nothing changed there.

This sort of thing is only done for the television typical BBC.

Here is the same man blatantly pretending to be a leaver during a Brexit debate.

Also does he know the remainer who thanks him and uses his name after his first contribution?

He is agitated from the get go ... spot him in the first minute of the vid then go to 22 minutes to see him roll out his agenda.

These debates are completely pointless, and as I suspected was simply an opportunity for petty point scoring, squabbling and acting like children.

It was pathetic.

As TM was never scheduled to appear she did the right thing in not giving in simply because Corbyn deigned at the last minute to appear.

If there are people who were impressed by Corbyn appearing and not impressed because May did not (even though she was never meant to) and their vote is swayed because of this, then I question whether they should have the vote at all.

It was a stunt by Corbyn, nothing more and nothing less. By appearing he feels he was able (mistakenly in my view) to come across as having the moral high ground and berate TM for not appearing, had TM appeared he'd've claimed the moral high ground by saying she's only doing so because of him.

What is the point in TM, or JC for that matter, appearing in a debate with the likes of the Greens, PC or UKIP?

TV Debates are one of the more ludicrous things imported from America and have no place in UK politics - trouble is I suspect there are too many people who form their political opinions from watching ridiculous side-shows such as last nights nonsense by being fed soundbites rather than reading manifestos and having an informed opinion. I find this very sad.

I agree, and he was thought by many to be such a nice man with high moral standards, whereas he is actually a rather slimy snake-in the-grass.

Also re. bias, Boris says so too;
