The Hung Like a Donkey General Election December 2019 Thread

despicable from the tories, despicable from the floppy haired maggot, and despicable that 40% of the country will go wandering into the booths fingers in their ears and vote for this excremental, cowardly slime

After lots of deliberation, I have decided I’ll be taking a dump on my ballot paper and wiping it around the polling booth.

Either that or I just won’t bother turning up.

Whilst i agree with this particular line  , even the Corbyn car crash had me saying "ffs let him answer the question"  ...they should have said this from the off and not after it looked as though Johnson might get given a hard time  ,

 

What are your thoughts on Etchingham and his own consistency hustings?

Senior Con Source misses point, its not about engaging, its about being held to account. If he is scared of 30 minutes with an interviewer how the hell can he stand up to world leaders.

I agree with that point, but I do also agree that the way many presenters behave detracts from the aim of the interview, or what the aim should be.  It's meant to be about eliciting information, scrutinising claims, analysing and probing, holding to account.  Too often it's about the presenter grandstanding, playing gotcha, engaging in stupid little games to try and put one over on someone, like a 10 year old arguing.

I suppose it's to be expected that many presenters are narcissistic, especially those who have a show branded with their name, but I would really like to see a lot more real analysis and challenge of actual ideas, rather than the look-at-me Billy Big Bollocks nonsense.

Boris Johnson is a vile racist. Tell everyone you know.

Even more lies from Boris Johnson:

Quote

Sir John Major will tonight call on millions of young people to use their votes to derail Boris Johnson’s Brexit plans in an extraordinary general election intervention.

The former Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader will break ranks with the party he once dominated with a plea to Britain’s youth to “choose the future you believe in”.

 

“Tribal loyalty has its place,” he says in a message that will infuriate Downing Street. “But sometimes you need to vote with your head and your heart. For your country and your future. This is such a time.”

I still hear colour. Even thinking 'talent' as he says it.

Have they deleted the video?

[StefanAVFC]

I think they deleted it to be safe.

Colour, no doubt about it

 

[StefanAVFC]

Not to get too linguistic but the word 'talent' starts with a hard t and his teeth would come together to make that sound.

Colour is an open mouth, teeth apart.

It would be fairly easy to zoom in and slow down and see his mouth shape.

[supermon]

nah im hearing people of colour, listen to it without watching the video

I think there is doubt about it - on the basis that there are people hearing different things.

I'm expressing my opinion, I have no doubts that he says colour

[StefanAVFC]

I still don't hear talent. I've heard it 10 times.

[ml1dch]

Sounds like talent to me.

He's still a horrendous prick leading a party of racists though.
