In the US there would be dead bodies.
I thought Juliet Etchingham was abysmal as the host, though. āKeir Starmer, you have 45 seconds to give an answer about tax.ā 
Also, they should have cut the mic to whomever wasnāt actually speaking. Often the point became garbled then lurched into a different direction.

Every debate, everywhere should follow this. Equally the participants should be in isolation booths and Maxwell Smartās Cone of Silence
In Communist Cuba there were thousands.
@Casto (notice the username): Someone who is a āPretendā Marxist living it up in Switzerland condones violence against politicians he doesnāt agree with.
If you want and condone that sort of politics - youāre living in the wrong country.
How about Russia?
I condone āhumiliatingā morally bankrupt and racist politicians trying to promote religious/race wars in my country.

Do you mean ācondoneā or ācondemnā?
Or do you mean Jeremy Corbyn - kicked out of the Labour Party for anti-Semitic views?
I donāt agree with Nigel Farageās views or Reform Party Policies but I wonāt voice those views by physically assaulting him.
It may be the (very) thin edge of a wedge but the other end of that wedge (Castro/Stalin/Putin) is pretty abhorrent.
She was dreadful and it was all very disorganised and rushed.
Populist politicians like Farage and Trump are responsible for this new kind of debased, āPunch and Judyā politics. They reap what they sow.
Back in the day, they used to fight backā¦ 
I always thought the TV program āSpitting Imageā was the best way of hitting back at any abhorrent politicans by grotesquely over emphasising any of their repulsive nature, characteristics or traits.

Brilliant āSpitting Imageā piece featuring Donald Trumps last day in the White House, Lol . . . . . . .
Hilarious but ā¦
Anyone think Farage will win Clacton? Hereās hoping not. William Hague calls Farage a āwrecking ballā who destroyed the UKās relationship with the EU, destroyed Theresa Mayās government and is now out to destroy the Conservative party. But he says Farage never builds anything in the place of the things he destroys.
Rory Stewart often comes across as a deep thinker. No wonder heās no longer in politics, given the superficiality he describes in his recent opinion piece in The Guardian.
Basically most people donāt know whether to laugh or to cry at the current state of British & American politics, when it includes the likes of Nigel Farage & Donald Trump in the leadership races, the only saving grace is Boris Johnson is out of it !!
Unless of course like Nigel, Boris decides to enter the fray again !!!
Heās all wind and piss so thereās probably close to zero chance heāll make any difference to the area. Can you imagine him showing up for a surgery, or getting the bin collection sorted or addressing plans for a new duck pond or tackling homelessness?

Definitely canāt imagine that. Would be interesting to know what his constituents thought of him when he was an MEP.
For those wondering - whereās Boris ???
Here he is . . . . . . .
Best yet hereās Jacob Rees-Moggās party political broadcast on behalf of the Conservative Party !!

Do you really want to die on this hill? I am glad somebody āhumiliatedā Farage, not as much as he humiliated other people though. But I doubt he felt that way, if everything heāll play the victim card, this sort of characters are immune to humiliation.
I bet he enjoyed those 15 minutes.
You can loosen up a bit, itās almost as if you defended Putinās or Trumpās āhonourā. They donāt need that.

Itās a bit of wild speculation but I heard it being bounced around that it was a Reform supporter who was in on it.
Farage likes to play the maligned victim, and point at all the other parties as being āall the sameā whereas heās the outrider.
