footy on other side though...not watched any of it yet...maybe I'll watch 2nd half. In reality I might just find the debate too annoying/painful.

I love politics so of course I’m gonna watch it. I’m hoping for some dreadful performances.

I’d end up screaming at the tv … you know they will just spout bollocks don’t you ? Why put yourself through that ? … I’d struggle to describe the lies as politics

Not going to lie..kind of intrigued. If too annoying will switch it off.

The Neil Young song I'm currently listening to is called 'Why do I keep fuckin' up', so it's quite apt for a Tory leadership debate I'd say! 😄

Because I find it interesting and entertaining. Plus it’s also important as one of them will be running the country.

but also frustrating because there's nothing you can do about it (unless you're secretly a member of the tory party).

Are the audience general public, or tory members?

The answer to the Johnson question is that they were wrong and they are adult enough to admit that but will endeavour to make it up to people. But no they can’t ever admit they were wrong.
