    I suspect we may have seen the same clip, but have put a different slant on it. If you disagree with my view on the clip, link to it and we can see what others think.


    Well Blackadder, The public love me. Only the other day I was out on the street & they were singing "We hail Prince George, we hail Prince George"

    Classic example of confirmation bias.:)
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Come on mayo, lets give herzlos the opportunity to disprove your accusation of confirmation bias. Only fair.

    Have you got any evidence for that?
    I have yes, since you won't link what you say you saw.
    The PM received a round of applause as spoke to nurses and patients at the hospital on Hamstel Road, Harlow.

    One person said: "Well done Boris!" and another added: "You're doing a great job!"

    Apologies, I had stuff to do.


    Here's a video of what seems to be the same event that's certainly not as positive looking (though it's not all bad either, but it's clearly being shot by a member of Boris entourage so I assume this was conveniently cropped and the best they could muster):

    If he doesn't deliver a Brexit by October 31st (which he legally cannot at the moment) he is through politically. Even if he does, there will be an election shortly after and it's hard to see him or the Tories winning it.

    I don't share the same view of Johnson as you do, or even really understand how you can hold it. If I were to list 10 attributes of the man the first would be, 'incompetent' and I would work up from there. But, like Trump, a certain section of the electorate lionise him as mirroring their values. Even though he would gladly walk over their gullible dead bodies to claim his next million dollars of stolen money and another grubby sexual dalliance.

    The left (Labour and the Democrats) have lost touch with working class people, they have allowed themselves to be filled with ideologies that the average working person doesn't care for and in some cases detests. The more they push the deplorables narrative the more people will push back.

    Even if you like some of the policies, how could you possible vote for a party that calls you racist?

    This is actually a decent contribution to this thread and explains why you vote Tory. I don't agree that Labour thinks that working people are racist but I respect your viewpoint, although naturally remain hopeful it will change.

    The Tories ought be glad Corbyn is in charge of the opposition because that seems to be the main reason the Tories on here vote Tory.

    Vote Tory because we don't have Corbyn in charge. It's not much of a recommendation is it?

    Must be quite a worry. Corbyn's already 70 and Tories can't hope he'll stay in charge forever or that Dianne Abbott will take over.

    It's almost Labour's turn again anyway especially if the Tories have run out of ideas.
