  • i mean, it was decent of neil to give johnson the questions in advance.

  • Well. It's fairly obvious that those were all the questions that Johnson basically doesn't have any answers to. It sounds as if the BBC have given up on Johnson doing it, so I don't think this was a bad thing to do (and there's obviously no guarantee that Andrew Neil wouldn't ask other questions, or indeed follow-up questions). I can't say I'm a huge fan of Neil either, but I think it's quite clear that he wouldn't allow himself to be talked over like Marr did.

    I don't know how important it is whether or not Johnson attends--it could once more just be a convenient distraction--, but what it reminds me of is his 'chicken' nonsense with Corbyn--who's the chicken now?

  • The BBC should empty chair him and do that 30 mins of fact checking as mentioned earlier. See if Pob wants to turn up and try to get himself into that one; I bet he doesn't.
