    Yup. I'm with you on that too. Brand is acting like a child. It's just not funny.

    Good. I'm with you on that. I've been trying to point to areas of human experience where 'lying' is a good thing. I have failed. So be it. But I still think you know what I'm getting at even if you don't want to let on.

    I am not saying telling an untruth to get yourself off the hook is not wrong. No. Time and place. That is one time and place for the truth. Come on Danny - please don't tell me you're so far stuck in your rational mind that you can't think of plenty of examples where a 'lie' (white lie?) is...

    It looks like it's all over. Particularly as providing Boris gets into the final two - when it goes out to us the hard working Tory membership - he will trounce it (currently polling 80% with the membership). Just to see Owen Jones face When Boris wins...... oh my god - what a delight.

    The man left school with 2 A levels - both grade E. That's before we go anywhere near his love of any organisation that would like to see the destruction of western civilisation as we know it.

    Or you could stop buying into project fear - stop panicking and realise you are being played like a puppet. Relax. We're all going to die one day. Just probably not today. Enjoy it while it lasts.

    That may be as it may be but he has not answered the question nor faced the challenge. Given the list we have - who would you suggest. It's no good just being critical - you need to be able to come up with actual solutions. Which means an actual person not some ideal list of characteristics.

    Like he said - which you've not answered - give us a name. He asked for a name. Anybody can reel off a character-list of the perfect person.

    I guess there's a time and a place for everything. The morally righteous get on my nerves with this idea that lying is inherently a bad thing. No - it's not. Time and place.

    Not if you want to succeed! What is it with you people thinking you can do well in life without lying? People lie. You lie. I lie. Everybody lies. You do it every day in small ways and the more people 'under' you the more you have to lie. And by those lies you lead. How do you think we...

    You really do like the sound of your own voice don't you. And you talk about 'gullibility'. Take a look in the mirror sometime.

    'Must not lie'? Ha! You honestly think you can survive in politics without the odd lie here and there? Bless you but it's time to grow up. Do you think we would have won the war if Churchill and the government had told the truth about the situation we were in? No. No chance. Morale is...

    Huh? Winning the London Major twice in a totally Labour controlled city? Backing the less-fancied 'Leave' campaign when he was set up to go with the odd-on favourite 'Remain' ? The man is a born winner. Probably why so many people around here don't like him.

    Every penny the pound slides makes our exports easier to sell. You have a tendency to only focus on the negative.

    Yes. Watching him at the launch of his campaign I got the distinct feeling he is going to win this thing. The man has style. And it's not that difficult to argue that the EU put him there because of the hard line they took with May - they've now got the very person/type of person they did not...

    I very very very much doubt we will leave with no deal if its up to Boris. He will somehow find a way to pull some kind of Brexit-looking rabbit out of the hat. Enough to satisfy enough people.

    Yeah. Great huh? Love that optimism. So do a lot of other people too.
