Quite fancy a live thread.

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

JC gets the details of whats actually going on, BJ lives in a cushy cloud cuckoo land, he hasn't a fucking clue!

LemonGingerCakes · 06/12/2019 21:05

I can’t understand not voting because you don’t like him. You vote for the party (and your local mp). It shouldn’t be a popularity contest. After all, a change in leaders is not out of the question after they are in power.

Just because Corbyn isn't sweating like a lunatic doesn't mean he isn't passionate. He's calm and collected and has his info at hand. I prefer his thoughtful style over bumbling dumb boris.

I want Jezza to get angry and call BJ out but it's so controlled. The audience seem like they're being controlled - where's alll the shouting? This is soooo important but it's like watching someone doing their ironing.

BillywigSting · 06/12/2019 21:08

Corbyn actually looks pretty furious if you look behind his glasses, they're obscuring his Very knitted brows.

iamclaireandfleabag · 06/12/2019 21:09

JC is fairly unflappable and he answers the questions without sound bites. He is steady and consistent. Blowfeld is just a shambles.

It happened to be on when i turned the TV on then Boris said something about one nation conservatism and I thought "yeah, right" and put Top of the pops on.

DerektheWonderdog · 06/12/2019 21:12

I agree mynameiswah but I think BJ will get the votes because he 'fits the bill'. Corbyn is much more eloquent. BJ is acting like the conservatives haven't been in power for the last forever and nothing is anything to do with his party!!

Every time the twat says ' get brexit don't have a drink.
We're pissed!!

DerektheWonderdog · 06/12/2019 21:14

BJ is like a bad mortgage advisor!

mynameiswah · 06/12/2019 21:18

Guilty like yourself Boris?!

LemonGingerCakes · 06/12/2019 21:18

Here goes... sexism and anti semitism

I don't think I'm alone in wanting someone passionate to lead the country. It's a shame because I do think that Labour has passionate MPs.

LemonGingerCakes · 06/12/2019 21:19

What has Brexit got to do with this question?!

I want to vote for JC so much but he just doesn't seem hungry enough, more bored teacher with an exasperating pupil.
He needs some fire in his belly.

ForalltheSaints · 06/12/2019 21:19

Not watching. Listening to Half Man Half Biscuit instead.

ItsChristmaaaaaaaaas · 06/12/2019 21:20

I saw then in concert about a million years ago.

mummyrocks1 · 06/12/2019 21:21

Funny, I think the opposite to most. I think BJ is outsmarting JC on each question. Unfortunately BJ is much better at selling himself, making his policies sound better and getting the right messages in each time. He has hit every point which makes people worry about voting labour, IRA, anti-semitism, taxing everyone, ruining the economy, getting us in more debt. Annoyingly JC has hardly answered back and didn't address these criticisms at all. Wish he had argued each point. He is too calm and neutral I think, it makes him unappealing. JC talks the talk so much better.

ItsChristmaaaaaaaaas · 06/12/2019 21:22

I wonder if they are going to be asked about what is a women 😉

BillywigSting · 06/12/2019 21:24

Jc calling out bojo on his islamophobic news articles was brilliant Grin

Jellykat · 06/12/2019 21:24

Good question! BJ, shes talking about you matey

tobee · 06/12/2019 21:25

People will vote Johnson, just as they voted Trump. Calmness and erudition won't come into it.

I saw Half Man Half Biscuit years ago too!! Grin

John1971 · 06/12/2019 21:25

Get Brexit done, blah blah jabber tampons blather jibber Get Brexit done blather

mynameiswah · 06/12/2019 21:25

Again, JC has to explain and apologise for antisemitism, yet Boris doesn't have to do the same for all his and his party's racist shite.. Unbelievable.

MustardScreams · 06/12/2019 21:26

As IF he is still defending the bus.

Shut upppp you bumbling twat.
