'fraid I hadn't realised there
was going to
be a
BIG DEBATE tonight on ITV

...until, that is, reading about it less than an hour beforehand in today's edition of
METRO.
So, thus informed, I switched on the telly and settled down to watch. At
first, I thought,

...
poor Boris
! Him being the
only man on the platform among
five feisty women ...
each of them with their
talons outstretched. Thankfully, two of them -
one a Conservative and the
other from Labour - were on
his side of the fence, and together they
held their own in putting up a
good, strong argument in the face of [
similar] cross~party
opposition which
also included Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon ... a
notoriously~tough wee cookie by
any standards.
