Lol that this guy is calling out Boris

Kind of but also no?

Personally he's known for being quite conservative but credit where credits due rips into most politicians fairly equally since he joined the BBC.

Been feeling like crap for the past 6 weeks but I've taken the 12th off to help out. My nearest marginals are Enfield Southgate, Chipping Barnet and Chingford, which one should I go for? Southgate only went Labour for the first time at the last election, so its defensive rather than offensive, but it's also much lower profile than the other 2, so maybe they will be more in need? Chipping Barnet is apparently the most marginal constituency in London, but Chingford is IDS's seat, and I loving despise him.

Chingford, for the main reason that gently caress IDS and I want to see his downfall as much as I want anything else in the entire world. Plus We can make it a goon outing.

strong Kirby energy on this one

this is really weak though, it's like someone said earlier - he's basically giving up and doing a "it's not our fault here's the interview I WOULD have given" dance because of all these accusations of bias. The BBC could easily limit the Tories' access so there are at least consequences for ducking out, but they won't so we get this pretend interview instead to give the illusion of holding him to account

but oh no he brought up all the things that people bring up all the time! how will johnson withstand this brutal takedown :cloud:

I'm loving how Boris' ego will not let him back down on this as his struggling wedges him deeper and deeper face down in the toilet, but Andrew Neil's ego will not let him back down either. For once the oval office is doing something worthwhile with his platform.

i mean yeah the bbc have conducted themselves appallingly but like, honest question, what are they supposed to do now? they can't force him to do anything, this is about as hard as they can go in, and nobody would bother watching 30 minutes of neil talking to an empty chair who didn't already hate johnson.

I just think this could be an easy bone for the Tories to throw the LDs in any possible coalition agreement, so there's a slim chance of getting turbofucked but being off my tits stoned while I sink into capitalist hell.

without looking im assuming their policy is more like

This is the best we're going to get out of Andrew Neil, and it's a further nail in Boris' coffin. There are still people out there who trust the BBC and Andrew Neil sufficiently to take this seriously. It is humiliating for Boris, and Neil knows it. This is revenge for him for Boris taking the piss, and he's even trying not to smile during the recording. It's a powerful summation of a lot of Boris' major embarrassing issues, and it's intended to do damage.

It will :getin:

Oor Coohoolie.
Right gentlegoons, I present to you the fruits of my worker collective's labour for the past few weeks. We teamed up with Scottish punk legends Toxik Ephex to record a cover of TV Smith's classic hit "Gary Gilmore's Eyes", called "Referendum Lies" with lyrics reworked for our current times. Artwork and a video are in the works, we're hoping to get it on youtube and spotify and blast it everywhere to encourage people to vote.

Give it a listen if you could, and let me know what you think! And if you like it, share share share.

https://blackcatrecordsaberdeen.bandcamp.com/track/referendum-lies

Lyrics are on the bandcamp page, but also here:

quote:

I’m toiling in a sweatshop,
A prisoner of production,
A slave to universal credit,
My mind can barely function.
They scrapped our health & safety,
I'm sick from all the fumes,
Now we downsized to a smaller flat,
We're 5 to a bedroom.

I’m seeing through Boris Johnson’s lies,

This isn’t what they promised us,
Ain’t taking back control,
No millions for the NHS,
Just dug a deeper hole.
I was duped by all the tabloids
Blaming cuts on immigration,
Said the Tories had our backs,
and they would build a stronger nation.

I’m seeing through tabloid media lies,

I cast my vote in anger,
Thought “to hell with the EU”,
Hoping for a brighter future,
But now none of that’s come true.
Should have never trusted Farage,
He went to public school,
Bankers don’t care for the working class,
He’s yet another lying tool.

I’m seeing through Nigel Farage’s lies,

Seeing through referendum lies.
Seeing through neoliberal lies.
The way they lied about austerity,
It’s a self-serving twisted ideology.

If everyone who says "I've always voted Labour" was truthful so then Labour would never have lost the 2010 or 2015 elections.

Yeah I know the Andrew Neil thing is saving face and it's about all they can do now, and it's better than nothing - it's just all the comments like "wow so powerful" like they didn't allow him to wriggle out of the jam easily and go on Marr anyway. People don't want to hear those questions for the millionth time, they want to see them actually put to Boris Johnson by someone who'll make an attempt at nailing him down

the real power move would be to have Jez back on to answer the questions on Johnson's behalf if he won't do it himself

I know a lot of people who "always voted for labour until Corbyn" but are only old enough to have ever voted for the Blair regime. I feel like the blairites are trying to play seniority in what is actually a democratic process.
