Trouble is, nobody but political geeks would watch them.
True.

I find it quite worrying that supposedly intelligent people can be so lacking in critical faculties. I suppose it goes a long way to explaining why we are are where we are and why, each in their own way, our political leaders are of such poor quality. The exception appears to be Scotland. Is there something in the water up there?I’m afraid voters like this deserve everything they get. He’s in higher education? Then he’s apparanyly intelligent enough to understand what he’s advocating. It’s why I’m in favour of ( if it’s going to happen) the full Brexit that Farage, Tice and many in the Tory leadership are actually calling for.
Why?
Don't listen to Vox pops. Don't read opinion polls. Their purpose is to enrage and demoralise.
Yet the Conservatives are proposing an increase in public spending and an expansion of the state on a scale not seen since the 1970s. Does that make you feel uneasy?Well, we don’t particularly want to live in a country where a government has a stated aim of ending capitalism and turning the country into a socialist state. McDonnell frightens the hell out of me almost more than Corbyn. The tragedy is, they think they’ll raise all this extra money and they won’t. Even if they did it would just disappear into a vacuum of waste and bureaucracy. Business will just base elsewhere. For those remaining, the reward won’t be worth the effort required. Do you appreciate how hard it is to build any form of pension provision in the private sector? In hindsight, I should have just joined the civil service out of Uni, I’d be sitting very pretty with no risk taken whatsoever. Only trouble is, it’s all unaffordable. Oh, and Diane Abbott in the cabinet and in charge of our security would just about seal it.

“Let’s get Brexit done Prime Minister. Ger’em out”
As are election results!

where is this ’stated aim of ending capitalism’?Well, we don’t particularly want to live in a country where a government has a stated aim of ending capitalism and turning the country into a socialist state.....
This is where Britain has wound up. Meanwhile the Chinese Ambassador to Britain refuses to be summoned to the Foreign Office for reprimand, instead the British Ambassador to Beijing has been summoned and warned to cease interference in Chinese domestic affairs. You can see where this is heading- Britain is going to take a kicking on the way down. Outside the EU it’ll be picked off by greater powers while it’s busy launching its Global Leader in Free Trade cosmetics.Two fat, right-wing racists exchange unpleasantries in front of a dog-shit park. It sums Johnson up perfectly. I've been trying to work out whether they are somewhere like Stoke or Guildford.

Page 2 in the Telegraph? Rouged pantomime Dame, Charles Moore.where is this ’stated aim of ending capitalism’?
Problem is, people do listen to them. I hope I’m sufficiently aware that I can draw in context, and make decisions, but many people seem to be content to have their decisions validated by following the herd. The vox pops and opinion polls pretend to show them the direction the herd is taking.Don't listen to Vox pops. Don't read opinion polls. Their purpose is to enrage and demoralise.

Another notable drama queen storming off! Where you gonna go, Andrew Lloyd Webber fantasy island? Boss boss the pain the pain.Try and watch last night's Channel 4 News. Not only does the editor of the FT think capitalism has major problems, and so McDonell isn't completely wrong, so do many economists and former political advisors.
You will leave the UK if Corbyn gets in, I possibly will if he doesn't. The thought of a racist, far-right Tory government in power - led by a known liar - for another five years is appalling.
