Probably quite rare that you'd sit there and say that Liam Fox was correct... -

That's excellent. -
Yeah, it's on the tamer side, I have to agree. I've only seen him once - don't enjoy the one liner type of comedy TBH.

Just out of interest, as I was wondering this in relation to the Boris letterbox and bank robber comments. On HIGNFY a number of years ago, in their caption competition there was a picture of Prince Charles next to a lady in a black burkah with a white top. The caption that Paul Merton came up with was "Prince Charles surprised when pint of Guinness looks at him in a funny way." Would that be deemed offensive now?

I've got a Clio mate - I'll let you decide. -

Just the fact that nothing you post can be trusted - hence why all your posts tend to end up the Kindergarten thread. It's alright though mate, we'll let the mods decide. -

Mate, you can't go around using homophobic language nowadays. Hope you don't try to pass it off as saying that I'm odd - with your history I'm sure the mods won't believe that. -

And since Dacre left they've not been as much on the "no deal" bandwagon. That's very bad news for BoJo though... -

I've not said that they would win. Show me where I have LD. No, thought not. -

I replied, Hunt? It's the last line of the quote you have quoted above? I quoted your question, and then answered it - surely you can see that? I have said above that Boris would win the membership vote about five times irregardless - I've never said that a Gove and Hunt ticket would win - read back through my posts and you'll see that. I know you've been caught out, again, and you're embarrassed, but mate, what rules have I said that aren't true? If there are two people left in the leadership election before the last MP ballot, that ballot doesn't take place. That's a fact - it's not up for debate. -

Who said they were a dream ticket? Not sure anyone has even been close to saying that. Lesser of two evils, for sure. -

Yet even in Tuesday's debate he couldn't confirm that he'd take us out on the 31st October. The MPs, and now the Membership are being conned by a duplicitous, opportunitist, remain, pinky Tory. -

There's two arguments ongoing: 1. That if Gove and Hunt had joined forces yesterday afternoon after Avid went, and one quit, there would have been no final MP ballot. 2. That it would be closer if Gove, supported by Hunt, would have had more chance against Boris than Hunt in his own. As I said earlier, Gove and Hunt's Brexit strategies are essentially the same, which is why they could be aligned. The point is that Gove is more threatening to Boris in every way, hence why Boris put Gove out. A Gove led opposition in the membership vote (with Hunt supporting) will garner more support than just a Hunt led opposition, or a Hunt led opposition (with Gove supporting). As I have said numerous times, I expect a Johnson win, but it would have been closer had Gove and Hunt come to an agreement on an alliance after Javid went. It's mental that this argument has gone this far after a throwaway comment yesterday afternoon. -

It's not about Boris not making the final two - he was always going to make the final two - I've always said that. It's about Gove and Hunt having a better chance in the Membership ballots - not the MP ballots - than Hunt on his own. This is an argument about process, more than candidates. -

You're clearly not getting this - it's like having a conversation in an old peoples home. I know it doesn't mean their votes automatically transfer - where did I say they did? If they did it between the 4th and the 5th ballot, which is where I said they needed to combine forces, and one subsequently pulled out to support the other, then how and why would they have a final ballot between 2 candidates? They're already chosen, and go through to the membership ballot. Hunt -

So, here is how Gove commented on the alliance that was potentially going to happen between Gove and Stewart: Mr Gove said: “We are in it to win it and we would welcome the support of any candidate that wanted to drop out and support us.” As I said, senile. -

If they run on the same ticket, one would have pulled out - that's the point. They're not both running for PM still - they don't need to be eliminated, as they'd have already pulled out of the race. -

But Gove wasn't going to be in the last two, so your hypothesis doesn't work. Hunt was always going to be in the final 2, and Gove can get some of the leave votes back to Hunt. The sentence is "I was going to vote for Boris, but now Hunt has joined up with Gove and reached out to the leave wing, I'm switching". Big difference between the two. Either way, I have never said it will be anything but Boris winning this - and when he attempts to take us out on no deal, it will be Corbyn as PM.
