Thread for Watching on telly Tory Leader candidate debate 18 Jun 2019

[lljkk]

Has no one else started one? Squee! Any other political anoraks around?

Why not just say, I wouldn't be racist because I'm not a dick.

Yes we should have a pm that calls out trump!

Who is the fidgety chap in the end. Does he win because his feet touch the floor.

Who decided those chairs were the best? they look like they are levitating. Apart from fidget chap with no tie.

I don’t vote for any of them.

RS wins for the best posture. BJ for the worst.

I’m glad Rory is very very very pleased that Abdullah is in the country. Considering it’s more than likely Abdullah was born here and is British.

Gove is very strange.

ooh am cringeing at the assalam alaikum: it's like saying my muslim friend...

For fucks sake. Are we having anyone from Northern England asking questions.

I’m trying to wipe the Dead Ringers impression of Gove out of my mind but it’s difficult as he’s getting closer to it the more he speaks.

I think rock, paper, scissors best of 5.

Emily doesn't win on maths! Going from 2050 to 2025 isn't halving, it's going to about 20% (6 years, not 31).

Good lord, no Lucille. We don’t want any awkward buggers asking about the Northern Powerhouse or quizzing BJ about his views of Liverpudlians.

What's with the awful thumb on hand thing. What's happened to normal hand gesture.

Kind of astute answer from JH.

This is car crash. Rory is going to lose like a boss, but he'll have the distinction of being at least slightly honest.

Pointing is aggressive in many cultures, it’s a diplomat thang.

Boris you lying bastard.

That flippin' hand gesture they all do. "Here you are, have this imaginary piece of paper. Go on, take it, take it..."

Why am I still watching this drivel

Thumb thing: they have been told not to point, too aggressive.

My 26 year old daughter ask me this all the time.

Which you'd think would mean if actually have a half decent answer.

But no.

They used to do the chopping thing. Third in the air, fingers at right angles to palm, chop, chop, chop...

Christ alive

Thumb, not third! Ffs autocorrect, stop oppressing me!

Well.....

Not that I have a vote, but I think I liked Javid best as a person.
I mean, I know Stewart talks most sense, but he only really plays one card, and fidgeting thing was maddening.
