At this stage, you get the impression Johnson could visit the lad lying on the floor, unzip his fly, and piss on him, live on TV, and it would make no difference to those voting for him. That's what I find unreal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17771 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 See Johnson is making a speech to the Mackem turkeys right now. The same shit repeated, as nauseum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34460 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 With Gisela Stuart in tow as well. And aye that thread really does suggest that some kind of mental result is still possible. So many of these seats are on a knife edge and could go either way. If you go on the getvoting.org site and play about with the Oct/Nov/Dec polling for marginal seats, it's mental how much the predicted result has swung about from one set of data to the other. Anything from a big Tory landslide to a hung Parliament still possible. McDonnell was still claiming that Labour will win a majority today and saying people are going to be very surprised by the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17771 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 So Johnson is promising the mackems JiT supply chains will be fine, because we will have complete regulatory equivalence. How the fuck can this cunt lie this much, its unbelievable (see Katy Adler thread)? Also hints scrapping the BBC, which I'm sure he probably will. They almost deserve it tbf.

Rayvin 4964 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 The BBC will absolutely deserve it. It shouldn't happen, it would be a disaster for it to happen, but if it does they're just another turkey that voted for Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3978 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 The phone thing should be his "what a bigoted woman" moment but it won't be as the media will gloss over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Even if they don't gloss over it, as Renton said, the public just don't give a shit now. We're too polarised for trivialities like suffering children and obvious lying. Johnson could start executing people in the streets and he'd still not drop in the polls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the most depressing thing about this whole charade- there are so many things that should’ve been the end of him, but none, individually or collectively, have registered on the minds of the terminally fucking stupid twats that will vote him in. edit ; Preach brother Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19824 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 you can't blame the media for populist nationalism. they're reporting on it, they didn't create it. the beeb have done a good job of fact-checking a lot of the crap johnson has uttered in recent tv appearances and debates. it's like the idiots that work for nissan who voted leave, right, despite their own fucking employer telling them it would be grave mistake resulting in them losing their jobs. that isn't the media's fault. populist persuasion is powerful. i blame nationalism, and the suckers who buy it, not the free press for reporting what is said.

Monkeys Fist 38757 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I can certainly blame them for giving an extraordinary amount of exposure to fucking Farage and whichever version of the National Front he’s currently peddling, without balancing it by giving, for example, the Greens an equal share of publicity. Everyone, left or right, knows who Farage is. I seriously doubt even 20% of the electorate could name the leader of The Greens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you expect the media not to report on what happens during campaigns? Is it the BBC’s fault Farage stood in front of that breaking point poster? They had to report on it and analyse it, which they did. Google BBC Boris Fact check and you’ll see plenty of examples of his lies being challenged and the BBC performing its role as impartial news broadcaster. Look at the two recent interviews Boris did with ITV, both posted on here I believe within the past 48 hours. The MSM is holding him to account when he isn’t dodging interviews.

Dr Gloom 19824 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Having said all of that, it looks like that tweet LK sent to her 1m+ followers about Hancock’s advisor getting lamped was done so without her even being there and has since been contradicted by video evidence. This is absolutely awful reporting on her part and she has to be reprimanded by the BBC if true. Edited December 9, 2019 by Dr Gloom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(see thread for separate examples of journo reporting) And then what actually happened. Even after the video she's calling it "a grim encounter".

Monkeys Fist 38757 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 The media aren’t solely to blame for the rise of the Right, (Labour need to take a fucking good look at their utter failure to stop it over the last 5 years, too), but there’s been some blatant fuckery at play- not just the BBC, with their Tory QT audience plants etc, but the shocking amount of influence Murdoch, The Barclays, Rothermere etc have over UK politics is scandalous. Maybe I’m just getting salty because I’m fucking sick of it, but it fucking stinks to high heaven of “a cabal of mysterious Cuntish Businessmen” Edit; I’ve just seen Kuennsberg’s video of the “attack”. I retract everything I just said. It’s a fucking stitch up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
