That actually did cross my mind, but his other words suggested he was a labour supporter.

We all know this is a left leaning board, no problem with that as debate and differing views are good and healthy. However, there are people on here who've said I'm a labour supporter but I can't vote for Corbyn cos of his views or policies or whatever. These people do exist.

Quite a telling call.
I always find that the kind of people who phone in to radio shows are definitely worth listening to.

I was referring to just that bit. You need to look elsewhere and get the real picture. :clown
Pray enlighten me as to what the "real picture" is Tory Boy.
Not possible for those who choose not see. Already said that. As for Tory Boy.bloody hell Ive been criticised for being a massive fan of Blair and have in fact voted Labour more often than Tory. But there is no way ever I would vote for Corbyn. So Bojo is sadly the lesser of two idiots.
Exactly the type of voter that Boris is relying on. Well done on putting personality over policy.

When people come out with this kind of thing, I like the host of the show to challenge them. Often they cant explain themselves very well if you do

I would have asked the caller what he/she meant by 'destroy' the country

Then i would have asked which policies of Labour would bring about that destroyed state

then i would have said, Havent the Tories already destroyed the country in the last 9 years?

most of these people just come out with soundbytes...when you challenge them, they often show themselves as thick and ignorant

I wanted to leave. I didn’t want a no deal or this hard Brexit deal Johnson is trying to force on us - nobody voted for that.

Possibly the worst two political leaders in the last 100 years
