    Rhetorical qs don't have them.
    Of course they do. Just don't expect to be answered.

        Nope.

        No question mark at the end of a rhetorical.

        Are you wrong on this.

          Are you wrong on this.
          Some common examples of rhetorical questions from daily life are as follows:

          “Who knows?”
          “Are you stupid?”
          “Did you hear me?”
          “Ok?”
          “Why not?”
          .

                What's the point ?

                  If it's a rhetorical question,
                  why does it matter!

                    This is the same Joey in the Irishman, Dylan seemingly got a bit of stick for depicting him as a hero.

                                  The question mark doesn't make it a question (rhetorical or otherwise). The question mark denotes the tone of the phrase. Punctuation marks are used to inform the reader as to how to read the sentence.

                                  So in the example Lazare was criticising, he is incorrect. The question mark is necessary to inform the reader that the tone is supposed to echo a normal question.

                                  Important to remember Lazare - you might have picked that one up from me but you have to be careful when dishing out the smug. It can backfire spectacularly (as I have come to learn over many years of dedicated smug).

                                    A friend of mine is going to Buck House and on to Windsor Castle this morning to complete a bit of business with the Royal Household, he's has been working on the deal for a very long time and has everything set up to deliver this morning
                                    Would be hilarious and disastrous in equal measure if it is true.

                                                        So their polling figure nationwide (say 2.5%) is effectively meaningless until/unless you look at Scots only polling.

                                                                There are plenty of reasonable conservatives out there, if you can learn to ignore the trolls. I like Joanna Williams from Spiked Online. She isn't trying to be controversial for the sake of controversy, but generally hits all the major talking points.

The key thing to remember here is that the right these days are far more interested in values than facts. So many of them like Boris because they don't really care what he says, it's what he does that matters.

                                                                                        I mean Andrew Neil (@afneil) is doing blindingly good work punching in every direction. Rory Stewart is a must follow. Dmitry Grozoubinski @DmitryOpines is excellent, but he's pro-EU so possibly not what you're looking for either. Peter Foster @pmdfoster is excellent on this line also.

                                                                                        On the other side of the Brexit scale the likes of Claire Fox @Fox_Claire would give you the hard Brexiteer line. Lately she's been heavily swung on party lines and by campaigning but she's usually a lot more nuanced.

                                                                                        If I think of others I'll throw them out here.

                                                                                          I flip flop so much on the value of Twitter. I've been flicking on it more recently as I haven't had as much time to read and zero interest in audiobooks atm.
                                                                                          That said I've listened to about 15 David Mcwilliams podcasts in the last 2 weeks, pretty easy listening.
                                                                                          For those interested, I've been told that Malcolm Gladwell was atrocious for his live show.

                                                                                          I have a week off before the new job starts, the thoughts of regaining 15 hours of commuting time is nothing short of amazing.

The only other tactic is to demonise the opposition and somehow convince the public that it was in fact them that have been in power for the last decade.
