I think he should go for one of those DAYL call out videos where he hops about in front of a scrap yard, throws a few punches and then lets Kussenberg or Bruce in to offer an alternative highly pitched challenge

He has no need to appear.
It's what the electorate has to gain from seeing AN destroy the bumbling halfwit. I would enjoy it a great deal. He has no need to appear.

You’ve got to be pretty desperate to voluntarily choose to be grilled by someone who has obviously sat for hours thinking up some way of tripping you up
It's not my idea of entertainment.30 minutes of dancing between Brillo and Boris, using the BBC default interview technique, asking a question then interrupting 10 seconds into the answer to ask a completely unrelated question.

And this is the problem. Regardless of party some interviews are set up to "catch out" or as you say "destroy" the politions not interrigate them about their policies.It may seen fun to the general public and a "gain" but all it does is drive them away away from such interviews in the future.
Do you think Corbyn will sit down with Neil again?

Its because Johnson is incapable of talking about anything except "get brexit done", he literally can not have a conversation without repeating those words over and over while completely ignoring the rest of the conversation.
So pretty much as all of the interviewers do too? As mentioned above, they ask a question then interrupt with something else before the person even gets a chance to speak. Completely pointless exercise.
The point is that for many years those in the running have always faced interview, one on one. I think what AN said could actually be more damaging to the mop head Bullingdon twit than what would undoubtedly be a shoddy performance from the twit if he were to be interviewed.
Boris Johnson is, in my opinion, the worst thing that is happening in UK politics at the moment. The chap is a bellend who I despise.
He is odious and utterly untrustworthy as the many women in his past have discovered.

Yep! all agreed. Boris Johnson is, in my opinion, the worst thing that is happening in UK politics at the moment. The chap is a bellend who I despise.

The only thing is, bad as Johnson might be for the UK, Corbyn will be a thousand, thousand times worse. But as we know regardless of party, they all do it. Livingstone had several kids by several different mothers.
In this country people cannot vote for what they want, they can only vote for what will be the least worst / damaging for the UK as a whole, and in this case when compared to Corbyn, that is most definitely Johnson.
Voters realise that Johnson is a cowardly liar but they think he's simply the apex predator in a political system dominated by lies.
That he turned up for a head-to-head debate with Corbyn on ITV and will attend another on the BBC tonight, as well as being interviewed on the BBC and ITV's breakfast programmes, means that he's probably done enough to escape the charge in voters' minds that he is running from scrutiny.
Personally I dread the prospect of a BoJo government. When Tory grandees like Heseletine and Major are urging people not to vote Conservative that signals a level of disgust with the type of politics the Conservative Party has descended into.

Thing is, Corbyn is being very open about what you'll get from a Labour government, including large investments in infrastructure and the return of utilities to government control paid for by a rebalancing of wealth. You can disagree with the aims, but you know what you'll be getting.The only thing is, bad as Johnson might be for the UK, Corbyn will be a thousand, thousand times worse.

Johnson on the other hand is being deliberately vague about what he will do, other than repeat idiot level 'get Brexit done' type slogans. He knows that his vague promises and downright lies don't stand up to any sort of scrutiny, so he avoids it.
All people can do is speculate on what a Johnson government will do in office. Looking how he's purged the party of moderates and at the previous pronouncements of those left, it's a fair bet that we'll be in for a significant shift to the right, including an erosion of employment protections, reduction in environmental protections, stripping back of state provisions and of course the further privatisation of the NHS.
A significant number of those cheering Johnson on and shouting about 'the will of the people' are going to have a shock once he gets in I suspect.

They don’t. They push for an actual answer whilst politicians try to say something unrelated to turn the conversation the way they want without actually answering the question. Something along the lines of:30 minutes of dancing between Brillo and Boris, using the BBC default interview technique, asking a question then interrupting 10 seconds into the answer to ask a completely unrelated question.
{ see also Maitliss, Wark, Bruce, Marr ]
“Can you explain your statement on X”
“Well, if you look at our party manifesto...”
“I wasn’t asking about the party, but about your statement”
“If you let me finish... the party manifesto”
And it goes round and round with the candidate refusing to answer the question until the interview has to move on to another question that won’t be answered. They all do it, and it is useful because the public can tell when the politicians want to avoid an answer. Boris is trying to avoid scrutiny, probably for the same reason we have seen nothing from JRM, he will be seen as the idiot he is.

The things the labour party are touting they will hand out for free, is all nonsense, because anyone with more than a few brain cells knows, that nothing is free, someone, somewhere has to pay for it.
Public services are only possible when there is a private sector which produces the cash needed to pay for the public sector. No healthy private sector, means no healthy public sector. The only thing labour know about the private sector, is that they want to tax it to hell and back, and if they do that, the country is finished.
What is the point of working hard if a labour government will just take what you have earned off you, in the punitive taxes that they always apply to those who have bare faced nerve to want to get on in life?.
