You’re too polite Steve, as a compromise you could just say Colin without actually tagging him.
I'm doing my best, mate - my recent posts contain more swear-words than smilies.
Yeah but he's really sorry that he has to do it and it's not his fault...
feck me, someone is actually paying this muppet over £80k a year
How do you even argue with such stupidity?
Just shows you can be thick and still earn good money.
Given how this campaign has gone so far, wouldn't be at all surprised if he was a paid stooge 
A format that challenges the smartest politicians?

The four party leaders will be making their pitch to the nation. Rather bizarrely for a general election, they’ve actually managed to agree on something – the order of service.
Jeremy Corbyn is going to be first up, then the SNP’s Nicola Sturgeon, followed by the Lib Dem’s Jo Swinson, and finally Boris Johnson.
This is a particularly challenging format. It’s one that puts the audience in charge - 150 of them designed to be representative of the British public as a whole. And they’ll be putting their questions directly to the politicians. From past experience, they can sometimes really put them on the spot.
Difficult questions from the audience, or a poor performance, and who knows, perhaps the shape of the general election over the next three weeks may be changed.

Utter rubbish, it'll be 150 carefully selected political activists, party members and so on placed in the audience and given questions to ask to score political points.
Can't fathom why anyone would vote for the Brexit party (besides the tools with England flag poles outside their house). They're a joke, Farage defended his abhorrent past acts such as the Romanians next door statement and overcrowded billboard with desperate refugees queueing up. I get it - you want to leave the EU, hopefully for economic reasons as opposed to disgusting prejudices, but voting for that party means you're not just voting for Brexit but for all the other backwards views they carry.
Damn! They promised me the lead in Gone With The Wind!
Which genius came up with doing this on a Friday night?
Who chose these guys?
That giant yeti didn't ask a question. Just came out with opinion.
Dominic Cummings.Who chose these guys?
It wasn't very nice of Fiona Bruce to say that someone had mistakenly bought Corbyn along, thinking this was the Antiques Roadshow.
This is ridiculous.
Corbyn is usually good at these because he's good at connecting with people, but he's been ratty and robotic so far, not that I can blame him given the questions.
No idea how he slipped through the net.
"I'm TERRIFIED that Labour is going to allow people to do something I just made up. Are you going to stop people doing things I made up?"
Why does NHS funding suffer if broadband is funded?
Good answer on the broadband.
My god, that fringe!
Corbyn has gone into robot mode on the Scotland question.
Christ this lot are just missing pitchforks and torches. Scary looking bunch.
I think Corbyn is doing well against a hostile audience. I only hope there is a similar level aimed at the other party leaders - I cant imagine how Boris will handle genuine criticisms.
That guy had the right idea, it would take some gumption from the SNP to vote down a Labour budget.
Rough opening ten minutes for Corbyn, but just about negotiated things.
Agree he came across a bit robotic at times.
Could be a tricky half and hour for Boris to navigate...

The Guardian's reporter thinks that some of the anger aimed at Corbyn seemed contrived. Quelle surprise.
Only caught the last half of Corbyns, seemed to do alright but struggled on Scottish question. He's much better in these formats.
Has Boris gone already?
Has Boris gone already?
I think they're saving him for last.
I really like this format of questioning
Just me or does Fiona seem to really hate Sturgeon?
And there's the WW2 reference, always one.

Swinson going for the tight dress look as usual.
What the feck is wrong you?
She's getting roasted.
He's dull and pathetic.
