:lol: Well, if Corbyn's performance tonight is any measure, he's well advised to avoid debates.

I'm absolutely aware of Johnson's character and past, and it's far from squeaky clean ( is anyone?) - but I'm prepared to give him a chance. He's committed to seeing Brexit through and - frankly - he's a million times better than the other truly miserable excuses for "leaders".

Nope because I couldn't care less. Genuinely don't give a sht. Honestly, right now I care more whether I can be arsed having another drink before bed. Just as I don't actually give a toss about the "conspiracy" of Johnson's "missing" second of laughter, as I've said before several times. It's all utterly irrelevant. You love it simply because it validates your views and later on you can cry to anyone who will put up with you that it's all a conspiracy.

Hope that you slept well ?
However, where do you stand on the primary TV channel "air brushing" out the Prime Ministers mistakes - you didn't manage to answer that one.
Inserting footage from 3 years ago to cover his mistake, although small in itself, shouldn't be happening in a UK democracy.

The fact that you cant be arsed to answer would suggest that you condone this type of thing

Lovely thanks.

If you read it again I did answer. You've even quoted it. I simply don't care. I don't care about the "missing second" either (as I've said from the start), but I find the outrage, wailing and conspiracy theories from the left hilarious.

It's such a nothing issue. Have you even watched it? Would you have known it was upside down? I've just watched it again and unless someone points it out you'd never know. I honestly wouldn't care even if Corbyn had done it.

Of course I'm aware that's not your primary point - you think there's a conspiracy. But, bear in mind all other broadcasters, all other bulletins, all social media outlets and indeed the live footage used the correct version, what would be the point in a 'deliberate' edit? Also bear in mind it had already broken online - in the press and on social media - it was already out there so again what would be the point?

You're just so utterly convinced there's a BBC conspiracy you get suckered in by the fake outrage in the press and on social media. And it validates your views. Fact is, it was a cock-up, it's been explained in detail by the production team and that'll do for me. Move on to something actually important.

Sorry Mr Cronus but, I had moved on from the missing laughter at Mr Johnson, which, I am now convinced never happened
The more deliberate change was with this years laying of the wreath by Mr Johnson.
The live footage shows him laying the wreath upside down but, the re-runs go back in time (3 years) to show him laying the wreath correctly.

Was this to protect the dignity of those who have fallen or, to protect "our leader" and just who made that decision ?

I've replied on the cenotaph 'incident', twice. Once last night and just now. Come on lad.

I'll have to read your posts more carefully in future
Pat of it had been air brushed out on my PC - it has some additional security to protect me from any form of extremism (parental controls or something like that ).
FWIW, Boris has had the usual honeymoon period with the media, which is the norm - just to stop the natives from getting too restless.
However, on a more serious note, the bloke is never going to change from being a "maverick" politician and as long as someone keeps on sweeping up behind him, he may be ok.
Personally, as I've said many times, I'm more annoyed that the Tories can boast about spending pledges that return us to where we were 10 years ago, before the cuts that they imposed.
It's like having your car impounded and then having to be grateful when someone passes you the keys.

If only Labour had "promoted" the other Miliband, we may never have arrived here and we are still left with staying in the EU or sucking up ever closer to the USA and the latter is a worse option than leaving the EU.

So Channel 4 added subtitles claiming Johnson said the word 'people of colour' rather than 'people of talent'.

Deliberate? Conspiracy? Mistake?

"Unacceptable from a publicly owned broadcaster...shouldn't happen...self-evidently and clearly wrong; positively Orwellian in fact"...etc...the outraged left are suspiciously quiet on this matter.

I actually don't care but anything that makes C4 news squirm is good by me.

Don't expect to hear anything from the left wing echo chamber on here. Never known such a myopic bunch. And don't forget only the conservatives tell lies... Corbyn and the rest of his ilk are as pure as driven snow.
Don't know why you bother Cronus... right wing all bad, left wing all good. Never mind that we'd be destitute if Corbyn actually got to implement his crackpot policies just like the poor sods in Venezuela.

Please explain how I'm a snowflake. I'm not taking offence at anything or professing faux outrage. Just stated a couple of facts as I see it.

To be fair if he spoke with a northern accent there is no way it would've been 'misheard'. Phonetically I imagine upper class types pronounce it as kalah, which can be mishead from talent if the audio is dodgy.
