    I see the biased BBC have filled their question time audience with a bunch of Boris haters. Disgusting once more from the BBC

    That wall would have taken years under labour what with their 4 day working week option.

    Agree with this bit.

    Had labour had anyone else in charge and had they not had the loony brexit policy, they would be in power today.

    Though the remain vote had its chance yesterday to stop Brexit and vote Labour. But they didn't or couldn't be bothered to vote. They lost their voice at 10pm yesterday. Now is the time to put up or shut up.

    Calling the BBC biased is a big red flag. You hear it from people just about equally on all sides of the political spectrum. It’s nonsense. Their coverage of this election has been diabolical, but they’re not ‘biased’.

    More to the point, who on earth is voluntarily watching Question Time tonight?

    The press were overwhelmingly in favour of attacking him and reading through various social media outlets Ive seen the effect it has had. Tbh It wasn't just that he was being attacked, but more the type of accusations that were being made. It's one thing seeing a misleading media article on Boris Johnson and perhaps wrongly believing he's an idiot on the back of it. The misleading coverage on Corbyn had some believing he was a terrorist loving mad man who's going to make Britain into some sort of jihadist state. He also hated Jews for being pro Palestine (which I guess makes me an antisemite aswell). And he couldn't tie his shoelaces.

    Mention Corbyn and all sense of reality went out of the window. Was he the answer? I don't know. I'm not one of those that will defend him to the hilt. I understand some of the criticism and scepticism around his policies. All the other nonsense that came with it? Not for me.

    I see the left wing lunatics were on the march last night with their 'defy the Tory rule' march. Another bunch of ragtags unable to accept the democratic thumping their beloved Corbyn received.

    Yes, and I say that using facts. Cuts to schools, cuts to the NHS, cuts to the police force, youth centres closed etc etc. The list is endless. As a die hard Tory who'd vote for them blindly there's nothing I can say that would convince you otherwise but I don't think most would class their 9 years (?) in power as something that even remotely resembles success.

    Is Boris Johnson the answer? We'll wait and see but I highly doubt it.

    Protesting is a way of expressing disapproval.

    It's not going to achieve anything, but they have a right to do it. A bit backwards of you to suggest otherwise.

    Ive just read several pages of you and your pals hounding another poster because he/she chooses to post on politics rather than football so get off your high horse. Hardly the empitomy of inclusiveness and tolerance are you?

    There's a decent debate to be had if you really want it. You and @Edin Nowhere@Edin Nowhere are nothing but a pair of cowards. Amber has posted some good stuff and shouldn't be put off posting from the likes of you.

    The GE on Thursday was effectively a second referendum.
    Labour badly misjudged their position on brexit and thats what caused people to vote tory.
    Its true though that Corbyn and Johnson are the 2 most unliked leaders in a very long time.

    I don't think Corbyn is a bad bloke per se, some of his politics is well meaning and his views on things like public services should be respected. That said, there is no way on this earth he would have ever been elected prime minister and that has little to do with supposed smear campaigns. Turns out thousands of people at glastonbury shouting his name was in no way in line with how the rest of the country felt about him. It actually turns out he was that unpopular he couldn't beat arguably the worst Tory candidate in living memory in an election. Lining himself up in the past with enemies of the state has come back to bite him on the arse, you can't just erase your past. The anti semite problem would not have reared its head with other prospective leaders, yet he also had the chance to put the problem to bed but chose not to. And then surrounding himself with the most useless of shadow cabinets, dithering other Brexit, he proved in the end he should never have been in a leader ship race from the very beginning.
    Labour only have themselves to blame, if i were them i'd be on the blower to David Milliband this very morning, on hands and knees begging him to come sort this mess. If he is willing and has the balls to completely clear out wasters like Diane Abbott, they might just have a chance in 5 years time.

    Not spontaneous though is it, wouldn't be surprised if the likes of McDonnells prints were all over this as he often calls for civil disobedience....
    I'm still getting over how great it is to have our country back, just need to rid ourselves of the renta mob types (inc extinction rebellion), abolish PC and get City back up to the championship...!!

    Brexit created a massive problem and we have had a general election based around Brexit and get it done from to Conservatives. Getting it done how and when Boris?

    Problem is other issues are not getting tackled like racism, knife crime, NHS, homeless etc. It was a load of rubbish by the the Conservatives and I don't see the direction of the country. The country is in a mess already as it is.

    However, Labour were a disgrace. Corbyn had a chance to really hammer home on the conservatives shamble. Boris is a tool and Corbyn should of made mince meat out of him but no he pussy footed about.

    England has its own Trump now. Don't be shocked to see the NHS sold off.

    The poor are really going to suffer under Boris.

    Labour really do need to get their house in order as they're an embarrassment.

    All they achieved was disrupting people going about their business. Wasting police resources that could be better utilised on a Friday evening in London, and making fools of themselves

    I have no doubt that McDonnell or Momentum were behind the rentamob out last night. Horrible people who should bugger off elsewhere if they dont like or accept the democratic election result. I would gladly swap these types for hardworking professional types from abroad.

    Don't mind protests. It's a way of expression.

    Police seems like a results driven business now anyway.

    I mind protests when hard working people on their way home from work or shopping are disrupted. If folk are not willing to accept the biggest caning a political party has had in 32 years, then leave our shores and live in somewhere like Venezuela

    Environmentalists protest even worse and often then get in their cars. They're the worse but I don't mind a protest as I think it's important to express.

    Turned it on watch it for around 5 minutes and turn it off, it does seem like some can't accept any form of democracy.
    I believe some of the more pro remainers thought the General Election was the way out, yet didnt support the leave parties in enough numbers.
