My patience is being sorely tested by all these reckless reckons and their callous, ostrich-like underpinnings. If there were even a modicum of good faith about engaging in genuine and transparent debate, like 'hey guys, can we put our heads together and try to figure out what is the best way for all of us in our plucky team of five million to get out of Dodge safely, and here's what our (named) experts have advised us and can they talk with yours (in a respectful manner, Fran!) and let's see where that gets us' - then that actually would be useful. I'm sure the government isn't so arrogant to think it has the franchise on good ideas. But no, its all about point scoring and game playing and appealing to sectional interests at the expense of the greater good and continuously sniping and undermining the collective effort and making out as if incompetent, lazy Boris-clowns are in charge, when the overall state of play tell us its quite the opposite. The moral recklessness of playing politics over peoples lives and livelihood is not anything remotely approximating good leadership. Its utterly unforgiveable.

I love this format and as a former English teacher, I can tell you, the speeches are spot on. There's always that kid who relies on a whiff of past charisma, another who just turns up and does something random, and the group who think some sort of distracting role play will cover up their total lack of ideas and research. 10/10 column.
