Absolutely appalled at the BBC for tonight's debate. Could the audience have been more biased to the left?
Yes.
Considerably.
If you go back and watch it again you will see that Corbyn was only getting a luke warm response at best from the start.
deservedly so, he should never have sat out the first debate.
The response he received grew 'during the debate', it was directly affected by the manner in which it was obvious that Amber Rudd was pre programmed to attack Jeremy Corbyn everytime she spoke. Her body language showed she addressed each question facing the interviewer and then she would turn toward Corbyn and veer away from answering the question as she sought to twist every single question into an attack on Corbyn by way of a comparison with gutless no show May. The audience were not stupid there 'Welshdragon', they saw what she was doing and the panel moved to attack her quite quickly. That was what particularly unnerved her, she didn't seem ready for the counter attack she received from the other panellists.
She might be quite an adept speaker but last night because she was obviously instructed to attack Corbyn at every opportunity, she came across as the lieutenant of the nasty party.
The conservatives are going to take houses off sick old people. There is a silver Tsunami of dementia and alzheimers building in this country and Teresa May wants to take advantage of it to grab their property.
They will be used as repossessions to try to kickstart the failing housing market.
It's a deeply offensive, cold calculating and ugly policy.
It's also a vote loser among the elderly.
... and every time Corbyn spoke he was cheered. He could have said that he would increase homelessness by 100%
Now that Sir is a ridiculous statement and one that comes from a place of emotion, not logic.
It looked to me like there was a swing in the audience from the beginning to the middle of the debate.
The presenter was very fair and if Amber Rudd wasn't prepared for the hostility she was shown from all parties and the audience then the Conservatives should have let Teresa come out for a rare public outing.
...who can blame May for not turning up?
Everybody.
Everybody.
She has been shown to be gutless in the public eye, it was a foolish move by her team.
Tim Farron really nailed her when he said "We (the leaders) are supposed to like the people, we are supposed to engage with the people who would vote for us."
Where was Teresa May in Manchester when the other leaders were on the ground showing their compassion for the victims families and the community?
Teresa was hiding from the public again.
"We (the leaders) are supposed to like the people, we are supposed to engage with the people who would vote for us."
It was a very telling sentence.
