    There's things you can control in life and things you can't. I wouldn't torture yourself with the things you can't, particularly if they are called Boris.

    So Boris spoke over the top of Hunt every time it looked as though he was making a good point that might make the sound-bites for radio. The tactic had clearly been pre-planned.

    What a choice! One with no substance who tells lies and the other whose main tag line seems to be the preservation of tories in power. So depressing. What happened to a duty to serve and what is best for the Country? It feels like a triumph of style over substance

    I didn't watch it :( I couldn't :( I even switched over the breakfast news when it came on, or people were arguing about it. Switched off soon after that :( SL, thats helpful to describe the Boris tactic, ruining the Hunt soundbite. Not that I respect either of them. The country's really going to be in trouble with one of them in charge :(
