Haven’t seen Andrew Neil’s interview with Corbyn tonight . Did he perform any bettter than this ? Hope not :joy:

We know he's a racist anti semite but after that uncalled for level of aggression toward Martin Bashir do you think we could add colour prejudice too to Corbyn's cv?

Which channel was that on Gord? Sounds a good watch.

I've always been interested in military history but my knowledge is sketchy and it's only recently I've noticed the Habsburgs peak power coincided with the rise of the Ottoman Empire and was wondering how that played out.

The Ottomans being stopped in Austria and the Moors in France a thousand years earlier are crucial moments in the formation of an affluent, progressive Europe. As you say, the idiots responsible for reversing that with mass immigration are unforgivable.

Ugly buggers those in-bred Hapsburgs weren't they?

I was out last night so just watched the Corbyn interview on iPlayer.

Asked 4 times if he would apologise to the Jews and didn't.
Couldn't answer questions on where the money was coming from for his grand spending.
Said nobody earning under £80k would pay more tax and then was shown proof that people on only £14k could be paying more.
Taken to task on the payments to WASPI women, which isn't even in his costings and would incur another £60 billion of borrowing.
Wouldn't agree that he would kill the leader of a terrorist organisation that is a threat to the UK because "we have to look at why these organisations come into being in the first place".

What a car crash!
All he ever says is 'we would seek to discuss............ ' or we would look to debate.....' No Jeremy we need someone who can make a bloody decision! Fookin idiot isn't he? Seriously loopy. How many lives would he put at risk and risk multiple maim and injury by committing troops to a ground attack against Daesh suicide jockeys when we just need to bush a button on a drone control panel?

Looking forward to the "chicken" and "scared" Johnson headlines in the gutter Tory press....

https://www.theguardian.com/politic...boris-johnson-will-duck-andrew-neil-interview
If you were in Johnson's shoes, which do you think would do your ratings most harm:

1. Be interviewed by Andrew Neil and have the whole nation think you're a pillock (also known as "doing a Corbyn")?
2. Duck the interview and be called chicken for a few days?

For the record, I think he should have to do the interview but I can fully understand why he'd go for option 2.

Go to lunch first with Neil and drop a tab of acid into his glass of wine might be his best option.
One thing we know is that he will need to be well prepared and well practiced by Tory head office. He must have all the answers and not try to play the amiable buffoon in the belief that the electorate will fall for it and find him appealing. If there is a chink in Boris's armour Andrew Neil will surely find it. And quite right too!

This is probably the most important election since Maggie won in 1979 . She laid the foundations for , as Benjy has said in previous posts , 40 years of economic success .

However this time we have a privileged generation or 2 who grow up through that period and didn’t experience the sheer hell of socialism and the damage that was inflicted on the whole country by the communist trade unions in 1970s.

The fact that Boris is so far ahead , is in my opinion , mainly down to the anti-Semite , terrorist sympathiser Corbyn and his bunch of hypocritical and incompetent front benchers .

However it’ll only take large scale tactical voting amongst the oh so virtuous and self righteous left wing pseudo intelligentsia , young naive ‘ uni ‘ students and those who are conned by Momentum Labour's fantasy manifesto , thinking there is such a thing as a free lunch , to take us down some Venezuelan hell hole

Interesting comment this morning from Louise Ellman who says the anti- Semitism that drove her out of Labour has got worse . I’m amazed that anyone could vote for Momentum Labour which is morphing into a left wing BNP .

It was understandable that Andrew Neil humiliated Crackpot Corbyn , but the way he took down the rabid Nationalist Sturgeon will make Boris go weak at the knees .

Boris needs to heed the old mantra “ fail to prepare , prepare to fail “

If every election since 2010 is anything to go by the polls mean nowt WB. I don't claim to be expert but I predicted correctly 2010, 2015, referendum, 2017 and the US Presidential election. A 5-0 hammering of the pollsters. Just another example of the difference between intelligence and wisdom......... although most people will simply say fluke.;)

Nor the atrocities carried out by Corbyn's heroes in the IRA and other terrorist organisations! Indiscriminate bombings, murder, kneecapping and all manner of very profitable organised crime. As we search for blame for the ridiculous student viewpoint on politics perhaps we need to look inward. It's natural for kid's to rebel against parents but I suggest that our generation along with the namby pamby educationalists in the schools and universities have been culpable in not continually driving home good and evil and the lessons of history to the next generation.

OR perhaps the mantra that I suspect Andrew Neil and his researchers work to .... Proper planning and preparation prevents piss poor performance!

As for Sturgeon, am I correct in the belief that she would prefer Scotland to go bust and remain in the UK, Trident to be expanded, the eu to crumble and fail just so long as the Tories lose the election? In every interview it seems like it to me.

As Andrew Neil repeatedly pointed out to Sturgeon:

"You've no bargaining power.
You say you'll support Jeremy Corbyn if he gives you a referendum.
If he doesn't give you a referendum, are you going to withdraw your support and let Scotland be taken out of the EU with Brexit and you still don't get a referendum?"

She’s an obvious example of Corbyn’s kinder , gentler politics .

The brave and honourable Labour MP Ruth Smeeth gets a taste of Corbyn’s kinder , gentler politics , from what appear to be some of his biggest fans . Of course when racism comes from the hard left it’s not racism at all , it’s a media conspiracy .
