    It's not called balance, it's called knee jerk jumping to the defence of a party you swear you've got no time for. I don't know why you should feel so defensive about Johnson and his cronies when they are getting such an easy ride from the majority of the media over this election campaign.

    ""The First Minister refused to say whether Angus Robertson, the Nationalists' then Westminster leader, told her about complaints made by female staff at Edinburgh Airport in 2008.""

    Guess is just not right a party enough to give it momentum into media headlines or even comment on CCMB .
    Well, putting aside the fact that you can't bring yourself to criticise a conservative directly when the evidence is presented to you, I will address the rest with the good faith it doesn't deserve.

    Heisenberg makes a good point about profile but you aren't comparing apples with apples to begin with. One story is about someone who is now facing justice for his alleged illegal behaviour and the other two appear to be protected by an establishment force field that is strong enough to encourage someone like Epstein to drop dead on cue. You really don't understand why people might wish to talk about one more than the other?

    Now, we should probably wait for the court case to be concluded to discuss Salmond any further but it's interesting that your opinion on this doesn't mirror your opinion on the Epstein case where you initial reaction was to blame the female victim.

    I'd give it a couple of hours before this receives the normal "they're all it" replies from the usual suspects.

    The Tory party is jam packed with liars

    Sadly they will probably win the election as the labour party locally and nationally are not brutal enough and fail to twist the knife when opportunities are presented to them on a plate

    Corbyn has good principles but he should be attacking Boris and his mob at every opportunity

    But the labour party are just too wet , let the youth wing free on the electorate and we might have a chance

    As it is we have school teachers and champaign socialists putting leaflets through doors , hoping for the best

    All parties are packed with liars. That's what politicians are, and have been since Ancient Rome.

    The only difference is which lies they use to persuade idiots to support them and hand them personal advantage.

    Do you honestly think your bunch of liars will do anything more constructive than another bunch of liars ?

    The question is which gang will harm us least and that, plus the perception of anti semitism , is what will probably do for the Monster Raving Labour Party.
    If the population is now so dumbed down that they can't see the future problems of borrowing billions to nationalise everything and run down production with reduced hours, bigger minimum wages and huge taxes for employers, well that's your best hope of winning.

    It could happen - who'd have thought we'd be teaching six year olds about gay sex instead of arithmetic ? If it does though , do you think anyone other than a bunch of Islington champagne socialists will be better off ?

    Johnson seems to have a lot of allies in the BBC.

    And yet despite all of this friendly coverage, it seems that whenever I watch Newsnight during this election campaign there is an announcement along the lines of "we tried to get a Government representative on to comment on this, but were told that no one was available".

    Johnson has yet to agree to a mauling from Andrew Neil. Maybe running away will be less damaging than having his lies exposed again?

    Boris Johnson has not yet agreed to date for Andrew Neil interview, says BBC

    The BBC has said that Boris Johnson has yet to agree a date for an interview with Andrew Neil, as part of the leader interviews series that Neil is doing. It is not hard to guess why Johnson’s team might be having second thoughts. Neil is the most aggressive and forensic interviewer on TV, and Nicola Sturgeon and Jeremy Corbyn were both left looking diminished after their encounters with him this week.

    Is it conceivable that Johnson might just refuse point-blank to show up? In a healthy political culture, that would be unthinkable. But sadly there is no law yet saying someone cannot be appointed PM without having given a lengthy interview to Andrew Neil, and Johnson did try to suspend parliament for five weeks for his own political convenience. So it doesn’t seem impossible that he might pull out entirely ...

    For those asking when Boris Johnson's interview will take place, we're in ongoing discussions with his team but we haven't yet been able to fix a date
