He's cheered for (rightly) slamming Corbyn for not weeding out anti-semitism from the Labour party whilst the same crowd heckle a journalist who quiz him about some of the overtly racist things he's said. What sort of flat earth hypocrites want this bloke to be the next PM.
Was just thinking the same thing. Just seen a BBC reporter quizzing him on certain issues which he couldn't give a sensible answer to, he just blustered his way through it.
Yet his supporters are cheering and clapping him.
Has politics in this country fallen off a cliff to the extent that a man who comes across as a complete embarrassment is favourite to be the next leader of this country.
WTF?
It's worse than that. The Torygraph yesterday were headlining on how Battling Boris could attract well into the thirties for the Tories, and how that coudl garner a majority of about 141 (I forget the details). Telegraph saw this as a triumph worth celebrating.
Meanwhile I'm left thinking about how the likely 60-70% opposition will react and whether the UK now classes as a quasi-democracy. And thats before the idea of pygmies proroging parliament to force Brexit and save the Tory party.
Labour, meanwhile, pfft.
