Tory Leadership debate

[sinkov]

I watched it, a complete waste of time. Just another episode of the Beebs long running 'Get Boris' campaign. They must have had a team of researchers on his case as Emily had a clipboard full of Boris quotes, which she reeled off with monotonous regularity. She even tried to derail him with a comment about the London congestion charge, while he was responding to a question on Northern Ireland. Every opportunity was taken to attack him and quite predictably the token Muslim was wheeled on so they could bring up his letterbox comment. A token teenager was wheeled on to virtue-signal about the environment, after Greta the BBC just had to do that didn't they, a hysterical woman looked like she was going to burst into tears at any moment because her husband, who worked in property, could lose his job as a result of a no deal Brexit, or so she said, there was no evidence. On and on it went, I stuck it out to the end out of curiosity, but I was mightily relieved when it was all over, the only highlights being when Emily kept getting irritated by Boris's astute tactic of constantly and studiously ignoring her interruptions.

There were no winners, and just the one loser, the BBC, for inflicting this tedious pretence of a serious political debate on it's viewers. It also illustrated how wise Boris was not to get involved in the C4 farce, he'll go far that lad.
