Oh, we all know how well you forgive BoJo . And , of course, you do so every day, no doubt because you find something every day for which he should be forgiven.🙄
I get the impression that your sort of forgiveness in his case is similar to Cleopatra's to her maidservant in the 1963 film.😉

Since you question it - I have to...though he has done little to wrong me. But as is the nature of these things I can (and have to) pray for him that, when our next PM, he gives honest, open, decent and caring leadership. I don't expect anyone without faith to understand that - it's not easy to do - but it is what it is. :)

Ref the bold bit... the very arrogance I detest in the church. It disgusts me to my core. We christians should see everyone as equal, and we should accept their code of conduct and ability to rationalise other people's beliefs at least as intelligent and possibly better. Faith isn't required for any aspect of good behaviour. Why is a god required to understand what forgiveness is?

There you go again, I can assure you that I have no more right wing tendencies than I have left.

But if it suits your narrow minded view that anyone not 100% in agreement with you is a right winger so be it.

Are any candidates actually now MPs? With parliament dissolved for a General Election are there any MPs at the moment?

If Jo Swinson lost her seat in the GE but remained leader of the LibDems would she be invited to take part in any future Leadership Debates?

Is Farage going to be involved in any coming GE debate? Because if he is not as he was not a Westminster MP who would take part on behalf of the Brexit Party - or will they be excluded as they had no MPs in the last parliament?

That's at best a cop out, or just obtuse for the hell of it. If you're saying Krankie should be involved, then so should Farage. Perhaps they should also include the driver of the number 59 bus and the lollipop lady.

Johnson, Corbyn, Swinson and a number of party leaders are accountable via the (GE) ballot box. Neither Krankie nor Farage are. I don't think they should be included.

Like I said, I have no problem with Blackford being there.

Does anyone actually watch these election night programmes..?

Election night can be quite good fun. Watching events unfold, smug politicians losing their seats. It is like watching an episode of Morse develop.

The lead up to the election, tonights debate for example, I find completely painful and will avoid, but the night of the election I enjoy. Saying that, I will be avoiding Sky now that the narcissist is appearing.

In terms of the debate, the more that are there the more pointless it becomes. I know everyone wants to be important but the reality is a good number who want to be there just are not important enough to warrant it. If you want a proper debate, to really learn something, you need to keep the numbers down. Have more debates mixing up the people but you need at least one where it is a head to head match up of the 2 biggies alone.

Hell yes!

We have a meal with friends, then put on late night nibbles and open a few more bottles. We have, or used to have, a great night's fun watching it all unfold. Its Eurovision on steroids.

You have reacted to someone else taking offence to your post ... imagine if there was constant left wing posts and condescending remarks, you would probably call it out .. in fact you have.
But then imagine if it was multiplied by 10 .. and it was deeply offensive ?

What on earth are you talking about?

Today was the first time I had posted on this thread.

On a previous occasion I have stated that, in some respects, I envy the politically committed as they do not have to concern themselves with grey areas.

I have, in my lifetime, voted for each of the three leading UK parties and on Brexit I not only voted Remain but canvassed support for the vote.

However, I am now strongly in favour of Leave as that was the majority decision and should be honoured.

No doubt in your eyes I am a rabid right winger but I know the truth.
