Question Time tonight

[stavros]

There was a proper ding-dong battle on last week's epsiode, between a couple of hacks concerning trans stuff. It was quite refreshing to see debate, rather than party dogma.

Who is on tonight?

No one, as they'd have turned up on the wrong night.

I can't find any details yet who's on it tomorrow night. It's coming from Swindon.

That's what happens when you're off work. You think every day is Thursday

 

[stavros]

George Freeman, Lisa Nandy, Sarah Olney, Matthew Syed, Inaya Folarin Iman

So Tory, Labour, Lib Dem, former table tennis player/hack/Labour candidate, and a GBN hack.

George Freeman MP:

"Using AI to find drugs is good."

what did he actually mean? Did it become clear?

what did he actually mean? Did it become clear?

I think he meant it in the context to develop new medicines and treatments. But then we also know what happens in the back rooms of Westminster.

Robert Jenrick thinks Ukraine is local to the UK, in terms of taking in refugees. Albania and most of north Africa is closer.

I also didn't know Lionel Shriver was such a nutter. It was like playing Daily Mail headline bingo with her, e.g. police resources being spent on making sure wokism dominates Twitter.

Shriver has been on a few times, Every one of which she has come across as a complete idiot.

'Look how well Ireland is doing with low taxes, if weveryone dropped their taxes that low, they'd all be doing just as well!'

He doesn't mention the think tank representatives, and the opacity regarding their funding.

That is a great letter. But I don't expect the BBC will do much about it.

Tonight is the Tom fucking Harwood show. Shut up you utter cunt.

 

[stavros]

How long before they run out of GBN pundits to have on? They have so few viewers on their regular channel it's totally disproportionate how much airtime they get from the Beeb and others.

 

[hash tag]

Just starting to watch it and the northern island thing. Jurgen Maier is just sat there laughing at Hardwood

It's since changed, but the Wikipedia entry for tonight and next week's shows looked interesting first thing this morning:

I've long given up watching this for the reasons outlined. Has there been any change since the open letter?

Lol I don't watch it. Frankly it's a joke. I only watch clips of it on twitter or here the bias is appalling.

Fiona fucking Bruce making excuses for Stanley Johnson. i rest my case:

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

The audience was good last night, the Tory floundering, looking uncomfortable and repeatedly avoiding answering questions. Yet again the government's attempt to divert attention, onto small boats and Gary Lineker, seems to have failed.

How come Jenrick is on there everytime I hear about QT? I don't watch it, but it gets clipped on social media so I watch it vicariously and oop, there he is again with his fat face, built to tell lies

If you look at the open letter I posted a link to upthread and the stats contained therein it is not difficult to discern the right wing bias.

It would appear that unsurprisingly Stanley Johnson's friends were lying when they said it was a 'one off'. Fiona Bruce ought to have known this:
