Is it perjury if they believe it is true, when it isn’t? Eye-witnesses are notoriously unreliable.

Well me myself and I do not feel reassured with either of the candidates during this debate.

Following the debate, I don’t think many of the electorate were swayed.
The polls suggest that it will be close and it appears the conservatives will not have enough to force through Brexit.
Plus ça change plus c'est la même chose. |

Then there will be a Brexit proposal with a deadline extension. Some Tories will not support the proposal or leave the party. They will replace the PM and then we are exactly where we are now  |

It takes a hell of a lot to make me angry, but this interview has done it. I can't count how many times today I've heard Tories calling lying "the L word". That's how Classic Dom has coached the Tory cabinet members to deal with being held to account for their bare faced lies to the electorate. Damn them all. Their not worthy of any job.

The Conservative Party deliberately attempted to mislead the voting public. The Conservative Party: not the Socialist Workers Party or the British National Party, but the Conservative Party.
This is the reason so many erstwhile conservatives have turned away from the party. It has been hijacked. It is no longer the party we thought it was. Maybe - in retrospect - it never was.
They'll certainly never get my vote again.

Any regular user of Twitter would have known this would be the outcome, which was likely the strategy as it gets people talking. It’s irked journalists because they (misguidedly) believe that they are the defenders of truth when they have their political agendas and are as economical with the truth as everybody else. The Twitterati have enjoyed their latest moment of indignation, as have many on this forum it seems.
