North Korea NOT a paragon of virtue

These questions are making me angry. Ask her something about the UK and how people are doing ffs.

 

[Dirtyshubb]

he's going to get some really tough questions i think it'll be hard

I think it might be OK, so far most don't know how to ask a proper questions and Corbyn is better than may. We shall see.

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

The moderator should be asking the questions, those are so easy to lie around

 

[Faddy]

Disappointing how tame all these questions were. May's been good, but the audience has let her.

Because the real test is debating rival politicians. Mostly dire and rambling questions met with equally rambling answers.

This woman doesn't even know her own name.

 

[deadduck]

Wobbling. Been rocked over the last 10 minutes

Linking Tory voters asking about foreign aid budget are some sweet softballs.

 

[*Splinter]

Please Corbyn, tear the roof down for the love of God. It's so depressing to think this will be seen as a positive by most.

He needs to come out angry, highlight her lies and non answers.

The softly softly shit is for career politians.

 

[empyrean]

Just an annoying evasive hateful woman.

 

[Auctopus]

After those Tory councillors, I have suspicions about every single questioner.

 

[jelly]

Finally a good question and not enough time, uh.

 

[Tregard]

Fun fact: if you ask May about Grammar Schools, she will say "youngsters"

 

[Dirtyshubb]

He needs to come out angry, highlight her lies and non answers.

Absolutely, he needs to reference her answers and call it out for the bollocks it is.

they aren't good at precisely skewering her instead of allowing her to dodge pot-shots but i think in corbyn's case it'll get him bogged down in foreign policy, labour party infighting and old stances minutiae instead of the popular manifesto.

 

[excowboy]

Any chance Corbyn is making notes on her BS and will call her out in his replies? He could justify that on the basis she won't speak to him herself.

 

[BadHand]

"How can you trust Diane Abbott or Jeremy Corbyn who can't remember their figures?"

"I have no idea if we give money to North Korea"

 

[Chinner]

It's more likely considering he's coming second, but who knows.

 

[Real Hero]

"How can you trust Diana Abbott of Jeremy Corbyn who can't remember their figures?"

"I have no idea if we give money to North Korea"

Lmao

 

[Faddy]

At the moment the government pumps unlimited funds into Free Schools while the operators cream off profits

 

[Dirtyshubb]

"How can you trust Diana Abbott of Jeremy Corbyn who can't remember their figures?"

"I have no idea if we give money to North Korea"

EXACTLY! no one will give a shit though.

 

[Auctopus]

That last sentence about grammar schools made absolutely no sense.

 

[Pyroclastic]

without fail on question time there is always selfish gonk prattling on about foreign aid like that's even the top 10 percentile of woes/a bad thing at all. Makes me laugh, like clockwork.

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

I fear that her poll rating will creep up again after this

 

[Plasma]

"How can you trust Diane Abbott or Jeremy Corbyn who can't remember their figures?"

"I have no idea if we give money to North Korea"

Bet we won't see multiple stories about this on the front of the BBC site.

 

[Syder]

Not sure how anyone but the most devout MayBot 3000 fans can spin this as even an above average performance.

If I were a Tory supporter, I'd be pretty shook by this.

 

[Beefy]

Guessing I will have to set up a gofundme etc. Tories getting back in will probably mean my benefits for being mentally ill will be cut again.

 

[Little Old Man]

"North Korea, not to be held up as a paragon of virtue" should be in the next politics OT.

 

[Tregard]

No standing ovation, shame

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Why must the audience clap after everything she says, even if she says nothing at all?

 

[Auctopus]

I know people are clapping but I honestly think it sounds limp. Much bigger applauses for the questions.

 

[Johnny Cage]

She spoke to the Donald last night, what are the chances.

 

[Jezbollah]

Jezza has notes. Hmm.

 

[Oriel]

No standing ovation, shame

He's nearly as bloody awful as May.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Jezza has notes. Hmm.

Knowing jezz, they're just allotment expansion schematics

 

[*Splinter]

Why must the audience clap after everything she says, even if she says nothing at all?

It's polite innit

 

[CD93]

We know that pupil spending is going to decrease in real terms under the Tories. Would have been a good follow-up on education.

 

[jelly]

Biased audience!

 

[Xando]

She spoke to the Donald last night, what are the chances.

Shame no one called her out on it since Merkel and Macron spoke to him last night and issued a shared statement (Which May was apparently asked to sign but declined).

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

If May came out now and said "I'll debate you, you little shit!" she would automatically get my vote.

 

[Auctopus]

Holy shit, that Paris Agreement answer was absolutely embarrassing. Why wouldn't you release a public statement you coward?

 

[Uzzy]

Knowing jezz, they're just allotment expansion schematics

Jam recipes too surely.

 

[Jezbollah]

Knowing jezz, they're just allotment expansion schematics

JAM RECEIPES.

E; Fucksake Uzzy, that was canny.

 

[kmag]

Honestly she sounded callous but more competent than usual. She can't fake empathy, Cameron could. I don't think this was particularly good for her. The most powerful parts where the partially sighted girl and she absolutely fucking flubbed that.

 

[BadHand]

No standing ovation, shame

May's signature monoplause.

 

[N7Commander95]

Lol
Loved that little cheer for Jezza

 

[Pandy]

"How can you trust Diane Abbott or Jeremy Corbyn who can't remember their figures?"

"I have no idea if we give money to North Korea"

She probably knew exactly how much. £4 million over 6 years, according to the Telegraph this April.

[Dirtyshubb]

Doing great so far, clear and honest answers.

 

[Tregard]

Haha, you can hear the applause coming from entirely different areas

 

[Lego Boss]

Bet we won't see multiple stories about this on the front of the BBC site.

Worse than Torygraph

 

[Chinner]

Hahaha what a dick head.

 

[chromatic9]

Here we go again, tariff free access but EU won't be doing that without freedom of movement. It would completely undermine the EU.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I am biased, but I think hes coming across well.
