General Election 2019 thread

[steveh35]

Oh my God that intro from Etchingham was so bad why did itv have to become so bad bring back the regions.

 

[goatwack]

What's Corbyn done to his eye? Poked his finger in there?

 

[goatwack]

Go Jezza

 

[dunover]

The only hysterical thing about news channels' take on the upcoming Election has been their insistence on repeating the same question to all those interviewed. i.e:

"Do you want Immigration to go up, or down?

What an evil bastarding question to foist upon unsuspecting bit-part politicians, especially as they squirm and try everything not to answer it directly

It's definitely up there with "Have you stopped beating your wife?" line of reasoning

It's "Do you still beat your wife - yes or no?"

 

[steveh35]

Go Jezza

Please go as far away as possible

 

[goatwack]

Please go as far away as possible

Shh do you mind? I'm trying to listen

 

[goatwack]

'Labour to get a credible Leave deal negotiated in 3 months'

chortle

stop it Jezza, you kill me

 

[goatwack]

Corbyn can't seemingly answer a question

 

[steveh35]

Anything interesting happened yet

 

[goatwack]

Look at the split-screen, so viewers can gage their reactions

 

[goatwack]

You going to answer, Corbyn? Are you Leave or Remain?

Cue deflection

 

[steveh35]

I can't i am not watching.

 

[goatwack]

Corbyn definitely doesn't want to be there. He wants to just pick up his ball and go home

I want to be prime minister get me out of here?

 

[goatwack]

I'd rather have Ian Wright as PM

 

[goatwack]

Johnson getting definitely about twice as much air-time, which is a bit biased to say the least

 

[paul7388]

Johnson getting definitely about twice as much air-time, which is a bit biased to say the least

Corbyn more interested in trying to straighten his glasses

 

[goatwack]

They're definitely drooping down and wonking on the right side

 

[goatwack]

I wanted to give this 'host' a chance, but no, she's terrible

Johnson's mouth running-time is now at 76%

 

[goatwack]

Corbyn condemning antisemitism and racism etc

You couldn't make it up

 

[goatwack]

They're shaking hands and best friends now

This host is da bomb

 

[steveh35]

Have you given up I was relying on you to keep me updated

 

[goatwack]

I went to wash my hair as it turns out!

Now, where were we

 

[goatwack]

£10 minimum wage and less working hours for all! The Milky Bars are on Corbyn!

 

[paul7388]

You were going to advise on what the best value for money shampoo is.

TIGI is very good

 

[goatwack]

It's that stage of the show where we're on to Climate Change everyone

 

[goatwack]

It's Jerry's Final Thought from each in a mo

 

[mack341]

Forget fancy shampoos this is the best value stuff

you'll get loads of washes out of that, and your hair is left so clean it squeaks

 

[goatwack]

"What present would you leave the other?"

Corbyn: "A Christmas Carol"

Johnson: "A copy of the Deal"

 

[goatwack]

*beep beep bebeep* newsflash: show's over

Alrighty! We can resume normal service and go back to slagging each other off

You could always watch that jungle thing then the Election interviews after it.

There's nothing I'd like more

I notice you posted once the adverts came on

 

[goatwack]

I notice you posted once the adverts came on

I'm playing Civ4 on my laptop, with Talking Pictures on in the background

But I like your version better

 

[Playford7]

32 years living here and that's all I ever hear, 'Poor, underfunded, crisis-hit NHS on the brink of collapse" etc

It's fucking boring and moot, and nothing but a cheap political pawn by parties to garner votes. And yet still, here it is

Privatise the lot and be done with it.

 

[Playford7]

Johnson getting definitely about twice as much air-time, which is a bit biased to say the least

He is the pm, he should

 

[sufferinsilence]

In a debate every candidate should get the same amount of time to air their views. Giving one of the participants more time just because they're the PM sounds a bit strange.

Would you have the same view if Corbyn was the current PM @Playford7 ?

 

[goatwack]

I have to concur, in all the 'hype' and build-up for this head-to-head bollocks it would have made perfect sense to give them equal airtime.

But the presenter was ropey as hell, well out of her depth

 

[steveh35]

Wait until the BBC one 29 November hosted by Nick Robinson, no way he will be able to keep order.

 

[goatwack]

The impartial BBC, hoh boy that's gonna be a right rollickin' treat

 

[mack341]

sorry for this thread diversion but just seen pochettino's been sacked, never saw that coming despite their form, I hope they've got someone decent lined up...I didn't want to set up a new thread just for this

 

[ESCJAMIE]

The state of Boris that man is our PM, Makes me sick

 

[steveh35]

The state of Boris Corbyn that man is our wants to be PM, Makes me sick

 

[goatwack]

Pochettino for PM!

 

[Kroffe]

Pochettino for PM!

I cast my vote for Mr. Prosciutto

 

[goatwack]

I don't know, what is that, some quirky foreign thing

 

[mack341]

Pochettino for PM!

haha we could do worse, poch or corbum ..although I don't much like arsenal I'd quite like arsene winger, le professor, to be a cabinet minister, we need to shake politics up... and alex ferguson giving the home sec the hairdryer treatment
