Why is the Left so violent and angry?

Why indeed?

Remarkable likeness, will be bizarre if her identical twin is an avid Farage-hater. Or maybe she's from an alternate universe, Marvel-style, and she's travelled across the dimensional rift to prevent the catastrophic consequences of his rise to power.

TBH I can see both sides. Bottom line for me is that some politicians have blood on their hands, they ruin lives. I think it's completely reasonable and appropriate that anyone who does that, and faces no consequences whatsoever, should feel as unsafe and as threatened as the people they've harmed, I'd be happy if they're never able to walk the streets without looking at every face and thinking "is this the one".

The trouble with that of course is who decides when it's appropriate to take action, because by definition it's people who're not making good decisions, Jo Cox's killer felt just as righteous and justified as a milkshake thrower. I guess I want a sort of schrodinger's threat, that always exists but never actually happens.

"Patriotism, politics and prosecco"?

I'm starting think bringing back national service might not be such a bad thing after all... 🤣

Having been on errrr a number of demonstrations since 1968, I've always found the most violent people to be the police.

Sunak:  Blah blah tax tax tax tax tax up.

Nothing else in the cabinet.

God, it's a good job Sunak's media training is an absolute non-starter.

I should have linked to the tweet:

It's from the 3rd of April this year so can't really be faked.

Neither of the party leaders is coming out of this very well so far.

Not convinced by the host either.

It's even more depressing, the news are stating it was 'an onlyfans model', god i wish that site would get nuked and we didn't have to hear that phrase ever again, she's done it for attention, will be out later this week selling her story and wearing a top with her onlyfans address on it i'd bet.

If she was arrested there should be a record of it and the assailant's real name no?

Totally biased.

The host, Julie Etchingham is allowing Sunak to over talk everyone & cutting Starmer short on every answer.

As per the current media/news outlet trend, she is scrutinising Labour & questioning how they intend to implement their policies, yet the government of the past 14 years are being given a free ride.

Heard the first 15mins and that is as much as I want to hear from these two muppets,

EDIT : this is the first time i've seen tv adverts in at least 10 + years, Jesus Christ they are ****ing patroninistic bullshit, how do folk put up with them?

This was a far better watch, Flynn would wipe the floor with them (but I would say that wouldn't I?)

She has been named on various (mainly rw) websites - eg: Daily Mail - and the name is not Emily Hewertson. I'm not naming other than VTB in case it isn't right but easily found by googling.

I'm utterly biased so can't be trusted! But... I think Starmer is doing far better. Sunak is angry, agitated and defensive.

Starmer is incredulous, factual and relatable... by his standards. 😉 He's not an entertainer like Farage/Boris so he's playing to his strengths.

I can't be trusted though! So ignore me!

(The election will hold the final verdict I suppose and everyone else's milage may vary.😁)

That was the impression I got. Seems to have calmed down since the adverts.

Starmer seems to be getting a better reaction from the audience.

What did Etchingham warn them about after the add break?

She warned them that they can be heard but I don't know what happened, I missed what she said?

Maybe that was just it - "people can hear this shit, you know."

Starmer's not a great debater. Sunak's ahead on points. Can't keep playing the Truss joker.

Sunak definitely looks more fluent, which given he normally looks like a ventriloquists dummy that’s just realised he spent the last 20 years with an old mans fist up his arse, is surprising.

Starmer keeps looking pleadingly at the presenter, not exactly statesman like

I'm genuinely surprised that Sunak has gained momentum here.  Looked terrible at the beginning.

Starmer has become more lumpy.

They underestimate the audience's ability to swallow this.

Sunak still only repeating pre-prepared soundbites though.

Doesn't always work though - he's just said how everyone he's spoken to loves the National Service idea, only 2 minutes after he mentioned it and the only audience response was laughter.

Everyone who can use Google? Though they've both mentioned it in the debate.

Advantage Sunak after this fiasco. Came out fighting,  Starmer has so much ammunition but couldn't get a shot on target, disappointingly.

"Imagine waking up on July 5th with 5 more years of the Conservatives."

*Shudder*

This is really all it's about, the rest is noise.

Incredible…

”I want you to have financial security by cutting taxes…”

Had Starmer said this he would’ve been nailed  to the floor with demands to explain how it would be funded.

The whole “debate” is a ****ing joke… why am I watching this car crash?

Quite agree with BBC summary - Sunak had no option but to come out fighting, attack being the best form of defence.

Starmer was too cautious, didn't want to risk a gaffe and seeing his lead cut.

Starmer is coming across as clueless, Sunak is coming across as a serial utter-bollox-talker.

I thought I knew who I wanted to vote for but now I don’t think either deserves my vote.
