Excellent response. In the first place, and more importantly, your examples have got nothing to do with the BBC's news delivery and attempt at political impartiality/neutrality, which is what is under discussion. As regards your two points: -- if their letters really were "misleading [,]...

No, they're not. They might be evasive or 'economical with the truth', but that's something entirely different from lying. Statements like this are corrosive of representative democracy, a form I'm not particularly attached to, but it is what we have, and there's no point eroding it unless...

I do agree with the first part, but not the second. Debates were initiated by Gordon Brown, and have subsequently been rejected or watered down by two Tory PMs. The first debate had the (then) big(gish) three parties, and it worked pretty well. The current polls indicate that this election is...

Agree with all that, although I must confess I didn't really notice Amber being clapped who, to repeat, I thought did OK in a very hostile format (I'm speaking of the number of panellists obviously against her, as much as the vociferousness of the audience). So, not so much an answer, but more...

I'm immediately retracting my suspicion of lack of trust :blush: This is a thoughtful response, although I think there's a likelier explanation, and that's the 'lefties' tend to be more vocal at such events, rather than the 'shy Tories' who, as the last election demonstrated, are a...

Dimbleby was about as incompetent as May tonight.

Wood squandered possession, tried to play on the counter-attack and failed to capitalise.

As you claim I have some enormous problem with understanding things, perhaps you could provide some evidence (rather than your opinion) for your claim. Start with your opening salvo: "even the BBC admit it's hard to police as people fib when applying for tickets". Perhaps you could provide us...

There are other explanations, which I don't need to offer, but will do if you can explain what evidence you have for your position. The BBC is publicly funded and made a clear claim that the audience is/was 'representative'. I trust the BBC on this, you quite clearly don't (and probably have a...

I didn't know this, but thought she gave as good enough show as she could in the circumstances, and showed some courage. And, like you (I think), I'm no fan of her politics.

The audience was specially selected by a polling company to be 'representative' of the country, in terms of: -- political party support, and undecided voters -- support for/against Brexit Given that, why are you so convinced that the audience was largely Momentum/Corbyn cheerleaders?

My local MP completely fired up tonight, and on brilliant form. The debate is actually a piece of political theatre (although I'm running a tad behind time). Beyond her poor communication skills, you can clearly see why Theresa May wanted no part of this, Amber 'Money Tree' Rudd has such a hard...
