Question Time tonight

[Lord Camomile]

I studied philosophy.

I can't bring myself to watch

it's worth it just for the smarmy overconfident face

Eh, hasn't done much for me so far...

To the best of my knowledge, the invention (more accurately described as the “development of”) mRNA vaccines involved incremental research by a lot of scientists, and Malone was in amongst them at one of the steps in the story. Though since then he has got a bit bitter and weird and has been saying a lot of weird and easily refutable things.

[Dogsauce]

I bet the nice-but-dim contrarian has a framed picture of Toby Young at home.

 

[stavros]

Even Tim Stanley had a dig at him

Tim Stanley also seemed to want Johnson to get away with all his misdemeanours, on account of it making some sort of film plot.

 

[stavros]

I haven't watched last night's yet, but I see George Eustice represented the government. He always lives up to expectations.

You're in for a treat then. You can actually see his soul leaving his body.

 

[eatmorecheese]

Yep, people were laughing at him. And I love the story of Insulate Britain buying his office so the rent he pays goes to them

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

I'm surprised the likes of Eustace don't realise that they will be tainted by their association with Johnson. Yet they continue to be trooped out to back up Johnson's latest faux pas or maintain that black is white. Johnson won't last forever, hopefully not much longer. When he does go where will all his wanky mates end up?

Always tainted for being a tory

 

[stavros]

Always tainted for being a tory

For people who are unlikely to ever vote Tory that's true. However that party are remarkably good at creating the impression that their current leaders are wholly distinct from their predecessors. For example the Johnson apologists always use 2019 as the starting point, rather than 2010.

If I was a betting man I'd tip Jeremy Hunt for their next leader. Not only was he against Johnson in the final two in 2019, he's also got the balls to criticise the management of the NHS as the chair of the Health & Social Care Select Committee.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

That deserves to be immortalised in gif form:

"That's nonsense" would make another good one

It's so nauseating how much fawning of the Queen there is, on QT and elsewhere, without it ever being challenged. She may not have taken kickbacks for honours, allegedly shagged a teenager, or made multiple bigoted comments, but she is only a single woman.

The queen did all that? Blimey!

You mean the management of the NHS who are implementing reforms he pushed through when he was Secretary of State for Health and Social Care?

​

Yes, that was my point, which perhaps didn't translate well. He has the gall to critique the results of what he and Lansley pushed through.

question time on a Wednesday at 20:00

 

[stavros]

Helle Thorning-Schmidt put Zahawi nicely in his place, with regard the UK's post-EU standing the world.

A classic from him - one second 'we're the best, we've led the way' two seconds later after it has been shown he's talking shit 'it shouldn't be a competition'

 

[Calamity1971]

Suella braverman losing her shit was a highlight. Vile twat.

 

[Supine]

Ukrainian mp was great. Wes was good. That Suella woman was terrible. Really really terrible.

 

[Calamity1971]

Ukrainian mp was great.

She was amazing. I cried at her speech at the end of the programme. Suella only had a handful of Tory wankers applauding her.

What was that about & when? I could only stand five minutes - till we got max fucking Hastings

 

[Calamity1971]

Near the end. She said Britain has always been brilliant at welcoming refugees. Wes streeting called her out and she lost it. Couple of women then had a go in the audience . Max Hastings said he doesn't have a good word to say about Johnson and then said he lives in the pockets of billionaire oligarchs. Suella had a good kicking all round.

 

[stavros]

Hastings may use every opportunity he gets to lambast Johnson. However he hired him and kept him employed during his editorship at the Telegraph, after Johnson had already been sacked from The Times for lying.
