It's not a game at all. It's a perfectly simple question that you could answer in equally simple terms. Yes or no would suffice.
I did answer it in simple terms. It's childish and tiresome.

Oh go on then, it’s an easy one.It's not a game at all. It's a perfectly simple question that you could answer in equally simple terms. Yes or no would suffice.
Yes.
That's not an answer, it's a comment.
As was yours. That's the point. When did you stop beating your wife?
It's not remotely the same, and you're conflating two separate issues. If you want to criticise him if he doesn't appear, that's perfectly valid to do so. What isn't, is what Sky did earlier to try and promote their own campaign for leadership debates by pretending it was identical. It is possible to be critical if he doesn't appear without buying into the Sky self-promotion agenda.
How is a group of people who want to be PM having a TV debate, not similar to a pre-general election debate?

Because it isn't a national election we vote in.

160,000 Tory members do. And they should have the chance to scrutinize them, and also gauge the public reaction to them. Because just like a general election, the winner of this content is going to be the fucking prime minister.

Sigh, this is not complex. I have not said he shouldn't be criticised if he doesn't appear, go for your life. I have said that Sky are conflating two different subjects in order to promote their own particular agenda on this.

No, it was a comment by virtue of the language used. Which I said was childish and I'm not remotely interested in that. That is your answer, you don't have to like it, you don't have to agree with it. But there you go, you don't get to make demands.
