Question Time tonight

[Calamity1971]

IT WAS A WORK EVENT!!!

He paid the fine, get over it. THERES A WAR ON.

 

[Calamity1971]

Nothing he’s said since I tuned in has sounded all that Tory.

Tbf, I’ve spoken to plenty of Tories who are disgusted with this lot.

He's not being as Tory as usual. He did say he spoilt his ballot last election.

 

[Calamity1971]

Jumper man being a prick again.

 

[stavros]

He could well have a good grasp of it for all I know.

Doubtful, given that he claimed three times that "Northern Ireland is in Great Britain".

Well, same bit of shelf...

 

[stavros]

The reaction to his comments from the people of Ireland:

 

[stavros]

So then, this week we had a Tory minister, a writer for Conservative Home, and Amber Rudd's former spad, and still they were all upstaged by Alyn Smith's eyebrows.

WE WERE ON A BREAK!

 

[Calamity1971]

Buckland losing his shit with an audience member. Keep it up Buckland, you look like an even bigger twat.

 

[stavros]

No QT next week, replaced by another hour of royal rectum snorting.

Bruce introducing Tom harword of gbeebies as a journalist

 

[Leighsw2]

Tonight - two centrists (the Liberal one a bit more left wing than the Labour one), two Tories (one of them a centrist) and one extreme right UKIP-type. This is the BBC's idea of the legitimate political spectrum in Britain in the third decade of the 21st Century.

The ‘debate’ on the RMT dispute was nauseating. Streeting was surprisingly okay, but the rest of the panel (including the two liberals) and sadly the audience were collectively engaged in a level of smearing and lying that would make the Daily Mail blush. Depressing.

 

[stavros]

I haven't watched it yet. I had seen the line-up and was hoping for Stewart to tear into Philp, for some Tory-bashing-Tory enjoyment. It's sounds like I'll be disappointed.

 

[Smangus]

Can't watch this shit any more.

 

[weltweit]

Is BBC R4 Any Questions also discussed on this thread?

It is a very similar program.

I'd say they have marginally fewer non-political wankers on AQ than QT.

Having said that they did have Isabel "dead pig" Oakeshott last week, so not perfect.

Newcastle audience tonight. Bunch of fucking Torys.

 

[Calamity1971]

Matt ' high pitched ' Vickers needs a kick in the bollocks.
The gammon banging on that immigrants could be rapists and murderers needs several kicks in the bollocks. What a fucking shit show.

The audience was obviously packed out with Tories. How representative is that of Newcastle where I believe it was held?

newcastle upon tyne or newcastle under lyme?

 

[Serge Forward]

To be fair, Newcastle under Lyme was solid Labour for years as well.

 

[Calamity1971]

newcastle upon tyne or newcastle under lyme?

Tyne.

 

[Pickman's model]

Tyne.

ah then an audience composed largely of tories would be unlikely

You can't move for Tories in the north east these days. Old mining towns as well. Fuckers.

They definitely outnumbered labour. One of the most depressing Qt's in a long time, and there's a lot to choose from.

Woman describing Johnson as a maverick, and that was appealing to voters. What she meant was, I know he's a lying cunt, but that's ok with me.

 

[stavros]

They don't want a leader making Star Wars references, but one who makes Peppa Pig speeches to business leaders.

Bloke from Iceland had previously seemed not bad, for a high-swinging corporate type. His "people want to talk about stuff that really matters" schtick grated last night though. That's exactly the narrative the Tories are pushing, so they never have to admit the innumerable fuck-ups they've made.

The best bit was when he said people are only spending 25 quid a week on food now, and it kept him awake because he worried for people. Fuck right off, more worried about his profit margins the little Tory prick.

She was an arsehole. ' everyone knew he wasn't a saint when they voted for him' . Durham is full of her type, and that's why I don't go to the pubs anymore.
