OTT Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Seems an awful choice. I'd probably say either Stewart or Hunt would be the best of a bad bunch. Boris Johnson getting the gig gives me the fear. Javid seems a knob and Gove looks like a wee creep that should be getting his hard drives checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont believe this should have been on bbc but because it is it should have got a couple of hours to allow questions to be fully answered and explored rather than soundbite after soundbite.

gashauskis9 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Utter car crash. Does nothing more than place more fear and uncertainty into an already vulnerable population.

Tynieman Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I disagree with the conservatives with all my heart. I'll never understand why people vote for them. In my opinion, independence is edging closer and closer. To be point - Boris is a racist, homophobic and a fool of a man. I think he was shown up tonight. He'd be very dangerous if he is PM.

I thought that the winner of this vote would get the keys to No. 10. Sure, there may be a subsequent vote of confidence in him but it would be a surprise if he lost it off the bat.

I think part of the reason so many of the population (majority being southern English), vote for people like him and his party is a lot to do with media. Votes for the Tories (and other right wing parties) has increased in respect to the working class in recent years. I read a figure recently that 130,000 people have died due to austerity they've implemented since being in government. The majority of which I'm in no doubt, working class or poor. The way people who are unemployed, disabled or needing support have been demonized in the media is a disgrace. This is how the Tories have projected these people, make no mistake that it's been a deliberate attempt to make reasons to cut from the poor rather than the upper class. Yet they get many votes due to their finger pointing at immigrants or the unemployed etc etc. Which is down to how these people are unfortunately now perceived. Boris is on record having racist, homophobic and generally bigoted views. And he's likely to be our PM. Says it all really.
