People are frustrated because the formats are useless. It’s just theatricals, despite the presenter being one of the better ones.

I think it amazing that 'interesting' is as high as it is. Heck, 2 of the top 4 descriptions are positive.

It needed to be 2 hours long, and we don't need the person who submitted the question there, or even need to know who it was.

Benpointer · November 2019

How soon will we know how few voters actually watched the debate?

Black_Rook · November 2019

It's all a pile of wank.

There will now be radio phone-ins about the topic, in which clueless members of the public will talk a load of wank about the pile of wank.

Things will then move on in the morning with more Prince Andrew stories, and the pile of wank will be quickly forgotten.

Why did Corbyn pronounce Ep-styne, “Ep-shteen”?
Was it to emphasise his Semitic provenance?

I assume such things must have an effect or why do it, but most grandiose events or partisan tactics just put me off, so I guess the more subtle stuff must be what affects me.

Quite right. I don’t give a fuck about Benny from Bolton or whoever.

I want a prepared compere to ask Boris why NHS figures are in freefall; why we should trust him given he’s already broken promises on Brexit, tax cuts, and an Irish regulatory border already; and why he is willing to up borrowing after years of the Tories preaching fiscal conservatism.

Ditto for Corbyn.

I want a *debate*.

My overall impression was both contenders were focussed on shoring up their likely voters.

Corbyn: NHS, austerity, big pharma, foodbanks.

Johnson: Get Brexit done, SNP could be in a coalition of chaos

What was there for the undecided?

It's a shame they didn't throw in a few less common words to ask people about just for laughs. I'd be interested to know how many people who found the debate effervescent, for instance.

Ironically because the Americans are so much more deferential to their politicians and because the Presidency is a constitutionally-defined role, whereas here the PM is just some guy (or gal) we get to fill the role by convention and who can be ejected at any time without ceremony...

He’d like to, but he’s not available. He’s at a Pizza Express in Woking.

Boris’s biggest fail was the monarchy thing.
It reminded us that he couldn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself.

Corbyn’s was on the 4-day week. He made it sound like a compulsory piece of socialism-most-batty.

My phone usually edits out the word Tory but if I type Swinson amazingly it inserts Tory before Swinson. That's android for you maybe I should get an I phone I could put it in my skills wallet.

Nemtynakht · November 2019

So earlier today the opinion was that Boris was wrong to do the debate as it put him in an area that was more comfortable for Corbyn, both as a challenger and as part of his style as a politician. So effectively with a draw their will be relief from Team Boris and frustration at a missed opportunity from Team Corbyn.

If Corbyn cannot move the dial with the manifesto launch which I guess in effect is a day long PPB then things won’t be looking good for Labour.

It's pretty bad. I doubt it says something about the polls, more just they don't trust the polling after last time (even at the end most seemed to indicate they would win) so are not being complacent.

Jones is probably right. Boris's people would have been most disappointed with the outcome. Having portrayed Jezza as a dangerously insane Marxist, Boris should have ended the contest tonight with a string of killer blows. That he didn't suggests that either Jezza isn't that crap or Boris is as crap as Jezza.

I suspect it is just me but does anybody else see frankie Boyle as an unfunny, arrogant, tosspot?
No he has a point.

First 10 comments on here were about wonky glasses
What's Jezza's favourite Christmas carol?

Little Wonky!

Swinsons is Silent Night based on her being restrained in the Green room

Boris is Scrooge!

That's the kind of shit that makes you think the Tories are doing worse than the polls say.
It's pretty bad. I doubt it says something about the polls, more just they don't trust the polling after last time (even at the end most seemed to indicate they would win) so are not being complacent.
Not defending the Tory move (some of the chaps probably thought it would be a wizard wheeze or whatever etonians say) but the fact the person complaining calls themselves factcheck Paton seems a trifle hypocritical.

The fact that they kept CCHQ clear too and said "fact checking from CCHQ" made it a bit tongue in cheek.

But shitty

This sounds like the post-2017 Corbynite view that basically their man had won the election:

Jones is probably right. Boris's people would have been most disappointed with the outcome. Having portrayed Jezza as a dangerously insane Marxist, Boris should have ended the contest tonight with a string of killer blows. That he didn't suggests that either Jezza isn't that crap or Boris is as crap as Jezza.

Boris:

1) participated in the debate so he couldn't be accused of being frit or shady like May in 2017
2) and, doing the debate, at worst drew it, thus keeping his opponents at arm's length.

Job done for the Tories.

Impersonation is a breach of Twitters rules that can lead to suspension.

Unless there is a FactCheck UK that they impersonated, I don't think they were in breach of any rules.

A. We need to get Brexit done

E. Nothing. Or...
F. Thicky-thick-thick Prince Andrew is a very naughty boy (allegedly)
Johnson did mention the two referendums several times.

Man responsible for an unnecessary trip to the polling station complaining about unnecessary trips to the polling station.

Does feel like it wasn’t the gamechanger Corbyn needed. Corbynistas whining about a twitter account? How detached from reality are these people? 90% of the public are not on twitter and don’t care, it’s just weird. I presume these are the same folk who give their life savings to Nigerian princes!

Pretty scuzzy trick though. I hope it backfires on the mendacious chimps who did it.

Yeah but this is the real quiz. Could Boris Johnson throw a kettle over a pub? asks Owen Jones.

Why did Corbyn pronounce Ep-styne, “Ep-shteen”?
Was it to emphasise his Semitic provenance?
Isn't the second pronunciation correct?

I believe the second is the pronunciation used by Jeffrey Epstein himself, for example in this video clip by one of his victims.

Neither is wrong. The latter would be the Germanic pronunciation. It's etiquette to run with the owner's preference, if you know it. If you don't, you just guess.

I assume they are worried that a more impartial outfit was going to muscle them out of the fact checking business?

At least Prince Andrew could do the debate without sweating under the lights like Nixon did.

Howdy, Stranger!
