as for not so cleverly who wants people to play grown up politics one question
if someone in labour promises to deliver him 80 labour votes to back mays deal ,will he promise that on wedensday mrs may goes to see the queen and calls an election because she cant govern because she,s lost the DUP, think we no the answer and cant believe amongst the 15 hrs daily coverage no ones asked this obvious simple question,that would be grown up politics |

Portillo would have made a decent PM. A shame to say; Anne Widdecombe got the better of him; so then again, maybe he wouldn't have?

you might want to rephrase that 11:05 comment, saddo. Just in case someone reads it incorrectly & tries to score underhanded points

Neil and Jones have been going at each other for awhile now but at least Neil commented on how Jones handled the episode the other day outside parliament extremely well
but Jones being a minority which he keeps repeating and repeating tiresomely probably thought it was a jibe at minorities because Jones is a minority if anyone did not know  |

By:
but owen jones is supposed to be a clever intelligent journo, I don't go searching for his opinions but ive heard him 3 times on different platforms this week say that protests from the left arnt violent in nature,which what neil wanted him to answer why does his side call protests that go to far activists and from the right violent extremists, but surely jones must have known on a show such as this portillo was going to bring up anti semites in the labour party and he had no reply only that in his opinion its everywhere

You and the rest of the right wing should hold back from such inflammatory language as that is what led to the death of Jo Cox, the MP murdered by a right-wing nutcase. Alternatively : You and the rest of the Islamic faith should hold back from such inflammatory literature as that is what led to the death of Lee Rigby and dozens of innocent men , women and children murdered by Islamic nutcases  |

i also noticed Kumar's very strange attempt at a smile, scripted 'joke' about Brexit, general rabble-rousing and embarrassing attempt to deflect the point about his ignorance.
What a ****. |

By:
You can probably guess that word!

runt?
|
|
By:
hmmm...close....
|

By:
By no means Jones is a journalist he is a columnist and activist who writes a paperback now and again

i prefer runt, Jack. It describes him well i think

1000.s of albainians,1000,s of roma,bulgarian gypo,s,100o,s of refugees from war zones, etc,etc anyone like not so cleverley think knife arches ,going into schools, etc or this is equivalent to alchol fuel knife crime in Glasgow are foooking deluded, imho

Leopard's attempts to deliberately misinterpret a metaphor into a demand for violence above is quite frankly pathetic.
But deliberately misinterpreting what people say is what lefties do.. |
|
By:
Yes Hackshaw, Kumar obviously had a pre written and practiced "comedy routine" (that was totally unfunny, as usual) that he was going to launch into as soon as Brexit came up, regardless of the question. Quite pathetic. The BBC will of course reward him with a dozen more QT appearances and he's on show. He's militantly left, militantly tory hating, militantly remoaner, and despite the fact he's as funny as a dead kitten, he's a diversity box ticker. The BBC LOVE him.

30 years behind ben Elton no where near as funny, its like running the 100 metres in 12,6 seconds and claiming to be a success

shocking behaviour, JC was it not. I thought he was better than that
|

Yes I found leopard's response most strange. Everyone knows what the post meant ie going to 'destroy' his position - does using the word destroy(for instance) means one would mean one was to literally kill him - if I used that expression.
'blow him out of the water' is another one I can think of. Inciting violence ha ha hold me up. I didn't think leopard would misrepresent someone's comment like that. amazing scenes |
|
By:
he then added this for good measure. You are the one using unacceptable language !
i feel bullied; & that's not a metaphor |

By:
I,m unsure if I,m a racist,mysoginist,brexiteer,remoaner,homophobic,trans hater, but if any or all give me free slap of owen jones, guilty as charged melord

owen jones despises with every breath in his body the hard working union men who used to be represented [ badly] by the labour party, he doesn't want their type in the modern labour party and they don't want his type and even if they did ,they still cant get beyond 40% of people to represent them, if we all went back to parties that we really believe in and not for convienence we,d be like the rest of Europe with lots of small parties represented instead of having 2 parties with 80% of the vote who no one believes truly represents them

By:
an opening SALVO in and ATTACK which is a Knife in the back ..... which comes as a bombshell to destroy his argument
|
|
By:
to use a poor womans death to try & escalate an invalid point & grievance; is reprehensible
|
|
By:
an attack
|
|
By:
just an example of everyday use of words by newspapers and commentators - no wonder we are under assault

I didn't know Jones was gay, guess I'd always thought of him as asexual.

Has his balls dropped?

had a meltdown 2 years ago on sky walked off because the sky presenter kept saying that nightclub attack in the usa was a terrorist attack and him and the other guest to say it was an attack on gays a sit was known as a gay nightclub, as in the Manchester bombing was an attack on ariande grande shoite music,

I am on his side but he makes such a pantomime of it and ruins some good points by his victimhood approach. He presents very badly and does not help the cause of lgbtqi people by this approach. It is more adversarial. He uses it like a badge and draws lots of attention to himself whereas most of the lgbtqi crowd just want to get on with life. Lgbtqi people want fairness not dominance!!

I deffo think owen wants dominating I saw his card in the telephone box,

had to laugh at Andrew neil last night going into one of his preprepared monologues about cowards on twitter ,when the bbc numerous times had had to apologise for his bullying females on line
