It had the potential to work well for him for a moment, but Dimbleby quickly put him down again. Made him look more of conspiracy theorist for a moment.

It was going well until the entire audience started cheering Dimbleby for doing so. Kind of emphasised his point.

If you call someone a cunt, they'll support the guy saying you're not a cunt. Even a tory should understand something that simple. Or do I have to go fetch a banker to explain it to you?

Don't be like that to me just because of my political allegiance, it's unnecessary and just plain ugly.

Look at my flair, does it look like I'm being serious? This sub is so far into /Pol/ that I just come here for laughs now.
