Granny Danger Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 3 minutes ago, JamieThomas said: Not today, clearly. I absolutely don't understand why it's on tv. The leadership contest will not be voted on by the public, it's result is going to change very few voters to or from the Conservative party one way or the other, and - let's be honest - Johnson is going to absolutely piss it, yet he wasn't (I understand) even at the thing. Tbh, it seems to me Channel 4 have seen the Democrat TV debates about to happen over here and fancied filling some space with a shit version of them. A sort of reverse The Office. I think exposing these c***s for what they are to a wider audience is a good thing, particularly if there’s a possibility of a GE in the offing.

Ask yourselves this, can you honestly identify yourself with any of them? and would you enjoy a pint with them or would you feel uneasy having a piss in the next urinal to any of them. ^^^Don't stand so, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me.

John Lambies Doos Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Some people championing Rory Stewart on here FFS. Yes he pissed that debate but represents nothing which aligns to the sensible journey Scotland should continue to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely get the feeling there’s something slightly odd going on with his campaign but this is merely speculation from a man 6 beers in Look into him. He is deeply connected to British intelligence, his 'middleland' pish during indyref was a blatant psyop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking Andrew Marr and the like, taking up valuable space that could be filled by love Island or some more light entertainment cooking programmes. The general public can't vote. This isn't an election, there is no reason at all to have it on TV other than to serve as a PPB for the Tory party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Damn Russkies are evolving. Starting obviously fake accounts to support a candidate they want to undermine by making it look like they're supporting him. Genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume you are also therefore critical of the news coverage this is all getting, and then dominating the Sunday politics shows? It's comfortably the biggest political story in Britain at the moment, and not to open up the debate to as wide an audience would be doing a disservice to the public.

Their duty to be impartial trumps everything. They can inform every day. Why does a debate the public cannot take part in have to be aired to the public? You're full of shit and clutching at straws.

That aside, it's pretty-much accurate. Problem? Who would you choose kincy? The obvious candidate would have been Hammond as he's probably the only sensible Tory left. Of the remaining candidates Rory Stewart is closest to my own political views but there's not a hope in hell of him getting to the last two - it will be between Boris and Gove and may not even get to a membership vote. This doesn't really answer your question because I respect none of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
