So far BJ has given non answers, imho....

sounds like JH is currently giving a non-answer, too, (about irish border)

Rage I presume she has some degree of hearing loss.

MyNewNameForNow · 18/06/2019 20:19

I don't think EM is going to be strong enough to stop them all over-talking.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 18/06/2019 20:19

Rory looks like Slenderman - is it the camera angle?

They are ALL doing that double fist pointy thing, for macho manly emphasis.

Burpsandrustles · 18/06/2019 20:23

How long are Rory's legs Shock how tall is he?

They look farcical on the stools.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 18/06/2019 20:24

Ah, okay - did not pick up on that at all.
This debate isn't doing it for me.
Emily's fighting a losing battle.

Rory best of a bad bunch.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 18/06/2019 20:24

What is Rory doing?! Looks like he's gone into a meditative trance.

Burpsandrustles · 18/06/2019 20:24

Most unfortunate shot there and Boris looks like a garden gnome

lljkk · 18/06/2019 20:25

RS doing tantric yoga to lower his blood pressure, achieve a Zen mindset?

OP posts:
MrsGrindah · 18/06/2019 20:25

Is anybody else cringing?

Saucery · 18/06/2019 20:26

RS looked like that stupid seat was giving him backache.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 18/06/2019 20:27

Pfft, nobody reluctantly votes for the Brexit Party.

Saucery · 18/06/2019 20:27

I’m majorly cringing, yes. All hot air, waffle and obfuscation.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 18/06/2019 20:28

@Saucery I thought Rory looked in pain too.

MyNewNameForNow · 18/06/2019 20:28

Jeremy Hunt may have set up his own businesses, but 3 of them failed!

lljkk · 18/06/2019 20:28

Agree about fidgety RS, don't like his his body language at all. Others are much better.

OP posts:
Burpsandrustles · 18/06/2019 20:28

Rory doesn't look well he looks like he's in pain.

MyNewNameForNow · 18/06/2019 20:29

Do not like how BJ is completely ignoring EM. Comes across as very disrespectful.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 18/06/2019 20:30

I'm finding EM's interruptions irritating, she's killing the flow of the debate.

lljkk · 18/06/2019 20:30

BJ said something specific! Lift NI threshold for low earners. Amazeballs.

OP posts:
ChoccyJules · 18/06/2019 20:30

Yes, he‘s talking over her.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 18/06/2019 20:30

But I agree BJ is being incredibly rude to her by not acknowledging her at all.

outofnothing · 18/06/2019 20:32

Can't focus on what they are saying coz the chairs are ridiculous, the camera angles bizarre and the background is oddly pixilated.
