Quite fancy a live thread.

Get Brexit done... Get Brexit done.... like a stuck record.

I'm watching.

I think I actually hate bojo.

I haven't hated anyone since I was a teenager and hated my evil teacher in the way that only teenagers can hate teachers.

DerektheWonderdog · 06/12/2019 20:45

I'm watching.
Errrr, errr, errr we've got a great trade deal 🙄
Who's the host? He's being quite hard on BJ, which is great.

elmosducks · 06/12/2019 20:46

I hate BJ I hate him I hate him

AuntSpiker · 06/12/2019 20:47

I hate them both...

StarbucksSmarterSister · 06/12/2019 20:47

Get Brexit done... Get Brexit done.... like a stuck record.

Good job I'm not playing a drinking game. I'd be legless by now.

I utterly despise Johnson.

DerektheWonderdog · 06/12/2019 20:47

BJ can't even brush his bloody hair! He so doesn't know what he's talking about! How many times can he say 'control'??? Twat.

LemonGingerCakes · 06/12/2019 20:47

I was surprised that the host said one of these two will be the next prime minister. Whether that’s true or not, there are other parties out there and there’s still a vote to be had.

I’m watching. JC doesn’t actually have any answers.

Akire · 06/12/2019 20:47

No, I like a debate as much as the next person they used to be novel. But now there seems to be loads of them with the same questions and answers.

StarbucksSmarterSister · 06/12/2019 20:47

Host is Nick Robinson (I think)

I had to turn it off.

BillywigSting · 06/12/2019 20:48

Corbyn is not perfect but his eloquence puts Johnson to shame.

Also 4 million children in poverty. In Britain. In the 21st century.

I'm still reeling from that stat. It's utterly appalling.

Why does bj keep mentioning tax on tampons? FFS

LemonGingerCakes · 06/12/2019 20:49

And why does BJ keep mentioning tampons and sanitary products?

“BJ can't even brush his bloody hair!”

He messes it up off camera just before going on... that’s a choice that is...

John1971 · 06/12/2019 20:49

Anything even slightly off the script has Johnson floundering

DerektheWonderdog · 06/12/2019 20:49

Guck sake my 12 year old DS is more articulate than BJ. And will he just fuck off with his hands!

50,000 more nurses, absolute liar!

SQLCat · 06/12/2019 20:50

JC is at least telling the truth.
There will be checks in NI, there will be customs, there will be export notices.
And hey, there will be violence.
BJ is a Big Liar.

tabulahrasa · 06/12/2019 20:50

“Why does bj keep mentioning tax on tampons?”

It’s the only plus point to Brexit, setting vat...

MamaNewtNewt · 06/12/2019 20:51

Honestly I think if I hear the phrase "Get Brexit done" I will lose my mind. It genuinely terrifies me that people can even consider voting for Johnson. He is a liar. He is a misogynist. He doesn't truly believe in anything other than furthering his own cause.

DerektheWonderdog · 06/12/2019 20:51

And why does BJ keep mentioning tampons and sanitary products?

One of his 'aides' has given him a list of things to mention. Like bingo.

John1971 · 06/12/2019 20:51

Corbyn is battering Johnson on the NHS

GlitterToast · 06/12/2019 20:51

Corbin acts like he couldn't give a shit if he wins or loses.

MamaNewtNewt · 06/12/2019 20:53

Corbyn is far from perfect but he makes sense, actually answers the questions and every other statement isn't a lie.
