Yes of course I do and would like him to ask that myself and see how he answers it.

So the fact that he may manage to duck out of such an interview ought to make him less suitable for the job? Don't try and say he's busy running the country unless you can guarantee there will spend no time electioneering between now and polling day.

I agree he should do the interview and we've yet to learn whether or not he will do.

If Boris Johnson chickens out of the Andrew Neil interview, what the BBC should do is give the slot over to Andrew Neil to deliver a 30 minute monologue on Johnson & the Tories' record over the past few years. Anyone who's watched This Week will know just how powerful his 2-minute opening monologues can be (in particular his evisceration of Fidel Castro & his legacy was particularly scathing), so imagine if he was given 30 minutes to do the same, straight to camera, on the Tories legacy since 2010? It would be even more devestating to Boris than any interview with him could ever be.

I think you'd find that would break impartiailty rules and land the BBC in a heap of trouble with Ofcom as the Tories would complain.

Yikes

Just stick an "empty chair" in the room with him. Problem solved.

Oh and Labour are just bringing up the NHS document now to deflect from the fact that he won't apologise for anti-semitism. The sooner this election campaign's over and we have a Conservative majority the better.

And the Tories and the right wing media are just bringing anti-semitism up in order to cover for Boris' lies, homophobia, sexism, racism and the fact the Tory party have their own anti-semitism and anti-islamic problems.

 

Why the heck shouldn't Labour bring this document into the public domain? the voters have the right to know what is being discussed and what lies the Tories are getting up to. Or should we just live in blissful ignorance, like yourself

I agree entirely with this excellent DS post.

 

 

It may just be me, but I think, we have finally hit 'peak' election time. Red and Blue seem obsessed with destroying each other at the moment.

 

Who's scandal is bigger, what can do the most damage to the other and how can we try and unleash all hell to the other side.

 

The problem with all of this ramped up rhetoric is that it's the electorate losing out.

 

It appears from the outside looking in that the two parties care more about destroying the other than they do actually getting elected. It was alway going to be a dirty election, however this just ramps up the clear disdain that the two parties have for each other and be damned who gets caught up in the collateral as long as the other gets rinsed.

 

We are at a point now where we are looking at effectively school kids screaming at each other as to who is the worst or less worse than the other and it stinks of desparation.

 

With the date of the country at hand with Brexit and been paralysed for years by the same thing, no one, neither of Red or Blue are coming out of this with any credit at all.

 

Looking further afield at the leader polls, none of them whether Red blue yellow etc have any positive outlook and that's as damning as all hell as to where we are at.

 

Does anyone have ideas as to how we pull ourselves back from the seeming drive to full on catastrophe as the next parliament is likely to be a very short one before it spectacularly implodes?

I think this is the peak time too and if Labour are to start closing the gap in the polls it'll be soon, this weekend maybe.

What are your thoughts on that document?

 

You simple-minded old fool!!

 

1. JC has nothing to do with antisemitism, except that it is used as a slur by right wing brainwashed dolts like yourself, as you cannot say A THING about his policies or statesmanship.

2. We have EVIDENCE now that the tories want to sell it ro the Americans.

3. They are basically following the blueprint for stealth privatisation point by point, you blinkered old dotard.

4. Antisemitism comes from the right wing. Tories have problems with it and islamophobia, so why the f*** would you want a tory majority if you ACTUALLY care about anti-semitism? Ho hmm. Questions, questions...

100% THIS. Also agreed r.e Andrew Neil. Empty chair Blojo.

1. He has failed to stamp it out in his party as he should have done as leader. What did the Rabbi say?

 

His policies would bankrupt the country.

It doesn't say anywhere that the NHS will not continue to be totally free, as it always has been, at the point of contact.

I agree that Boris should face Neil as the others have. Labour are taking legal advice on this as they were told all main leaders were appearing.

WROOONG. We would have lower government spending than France and a bunch of other modern countries under Labour's plans. Stop being so thick.

 

The rabi is a TORY and personal friend of Blojo. Do the f***in maths. Jewish groups have come out and attacked him for his politicisation of the issue.

Considering both the Lib Dems and Tories are in the same boat, the inference onto Labour is odd. Also another Tory MP has been suspended in Scotland today due to Islamaphobia.

 

How would his policies bankrupt the country - they've been costed haven't they? or are you taking what Sajid Javid has spun (ie making up numbers to get at Labour) as factor?

Glad you've taken me off ignore. Now may I PM you as you keep PM'ing me? :)
