The 2019 General Election

If it gets physical let me know. Otherwise I'm not bothering this time.

Just checked out who's standing in my constituency. Disappointed to report there are no independents standing. I do love a random nutty independent standing on some hyper-local issue.

Next constituency along there are a couple of independents. One seems over exercised about building new houses, as in she doesn't want new house built. I can't find any info on the other guy which is promising from the lulz perspective.

We do quite randomly have a Brexit Party candidate. In theory this is a 2 way shootout between the tories and lib dems so theoretically this could be the sort of situation where BP can damage the tories. That being said I'll be surprised if the BP guy gets his deposit back.

Not much choice here either. Tory, lib dem, green, brexit, labour or CUK.

Some grumbling in the local labour party about the all women, all BAME shortlist which has apparently robbed the heir apparent to Chris Leslie's seat who, while female, is also white. The candidate they have picked seems promising though. She's local unlike the parachuted-in Leslie, working class and unlike other candidates for the nomination is untainted by association with the foul city council. She also says she'll only claim 35 grand of her MP's salary.

I like the fact that Corbyn's specs are all on the piss...just like mine.

It's hired. Didn't even have an ITV logo on it earlier.

 

[Red Sky]

Corbyn starts of rather woodenly. Warming up now.

Boris 'Two Ditches' Johnson.

Coin mint piss take, didnt realise this program would have a comedy aspect from the host.

 

[oryx]

OH and I playing Boris* Bingo - we've already had 'get Brexit done' and 'oven ready deal'.

* I hate referring to the c*nt by his first name but it alliterates better.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

CCHQ is now "factcheckUK"

 

[BristolEcho]

Oven fresh brexit.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Host woman is getting her digs in here.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

"dither and delay"

 

[DJWrongspeed]

Boris talks such shit but like the use of the word lacuna.

 

[Artaxerxes]

His only tactic is Brexit, Brexit, Brexit.

Plenty will lap it up but I do hope Corbyn does well and sells people an actual future to look toward.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Johnson already looking riled. Doesn't take much with him.

 

[BristolEcho]

It's so much bigger than Brexit. Corbyn really needs to push it home. He should come out on top over the NHS.

[BristolEcho]

How can we trust you?

What a shit question.

 

[Supine]

How can we trust you?

What a shit question.

His answer is just lie lie lie. Talk about doubling down.

 

[oryx]

How can we trust you?

What a shit question.

Even shitter answer from Johnson - 'Get brexit done'!

 

[eatmorecheese]

Johnson looks close to hulking out.

 

[brogdale]

Johnson
Look at what I've said I'd do and look at what I've done...

 

[D'wards]

Whenever Corbyn is asked about Anti-semitism he always broadens it out to racism in general

 

[oryx]

Etchingham simply failed to probe Johnson properly on that last question.

 

[elbows]

Oh that ITV attempt to get a pledge out of them was painful.

 

[brogdale]

Oh that ITV attempt to get a pledge out of them was painful.

and they fucked up the camera angle...all we saw was trouser & arse; fail all round

 

[xenon]

Oh shut up about Brexit you cunt.

 

[brogdale]

Johnson didn't want to fall into the 'dementia tax' trap
