    And Boris will get up in the Commons and sing this to Mary Lou McDonald when she appears:

    That whole thing that truth is stranger than fiction is just fate tempting truth towards the ironic.

    Well, that was a whole load of of hogwash, I just wrote there. And some people would believe it too. :cool:

    I wasn’t over impressed with the debate.
    I felt that Johnson had too much airtime so it would be interesting to know how much they each were speaking for.
    Corbyn still tries to be too gentlemanly and needs to be more forceful in telling Johnson that he is a liar. He has plenty of evidence to back it up.

    I agree there was plenty to go for. My guess is that he was advised against it. I think Pfeffel would lose it if challenged heavily on hugs personal life.

    Open letter to Boris Johnson:

    Dear Serial Liar,

    Nobody likes a liar and nobody likes a coward either mush. Who the **** wants a gutless Prime Minister FFS?

    Yours in total and absolute distain,

    I think personal lives should be kept out of it really.

    Boris’ use of racist slurs as a journalist, his dishonest proroguing of Parliament, his duplicity in opposing Theresa May, deliberate falsehoods about 40 non existent new hospitals and 50,000 nurses, are all fair game though. Corbyn got his point across on all these issues, but will the electorate care? Boris was obviously primed to answer every question with “let’s get Brexit done”, and unfortunately that will be enough for at least 40% of the electorate.

    Unfortunately Godders, the public love being lied to, and the British public love being lied to by Old Etonian toffs.

    I think you're right, but it's very annoying as a lot of the voting public will see Johnson's loud, abrasive, lying style as the more assertive.

    BJ is very clever in that he repeats the lies that have been plastered in the daily mail, so that it sticks in people's heads.

    The very fact that Tory's are admitting change is needed, having PRESIDED OVER the cuts is ****ing mind blowing. How are people falling for their ****e!?

    It is insane, and I’m running out of hope. I’m no Corbyn hater, and I like some of his policies. However, there is the question of his personality (not smooth or presidential enough for people) and the right wing tirade of attack on anything and everything he does or is imagined to have done. Right wing press dominates.

    But yes, the Tories are just proposing to reverse the **** they created, and dressing it up as a Christmas Turkey.

    Please watch. If undecided, it might make you vote for the best chance of beating them?

    But he is not liar, gutless or a coward. I don't think there is a comparison to make in that respect? Obviously people are entitled to not like his ideology, but at least he has principals. Boris literally has no backbone, and is a duplicitous twat.

    Actually, I do have reservations about Corbyn's Brexit policy, which has proved to be an achilles heel for Labour.

    He's trying to juggle Momentum with the Labour heartlands.
