Question Time tonight

[hash tag]

They seem to be getting a proper hard-on for his appearance. I've no idea where he stands politically, so am I missing something?

Last night she described him as a superstar of television or something along those lines. Perhaps she shines a torch for him.

Another TV star on tonight, representing the Lib Dems:

 

[Elpenor]

Swindon fan

Swindon (little slugs with no personality) is of course famous for the launch of a fledgling leadership bid

 

[Calamity1971]

Tory looks like he wants to hide under the desk.
Paddy McGuiness ' I'm not known for my political brain, but then neither was Boris johnson'.

 

[hash tag]

I've just started on lasts nights QT and have not got through Streetings first answer yet and I've had enough already. He is giving a stereotypical politicians answer ( particularly one in opposition). Heres why we are not doing what we said and goes on to speak about the general issues of last few years. Vote labour and next election? It's a tough call.

 

[stavros]

Yesterday's byelection results may not have been in at the time of recording, but was the best they could lead with really the Labour antisemitism stuff?

 

[stavros]

That Telegraph hack was insufferable, the subtext of her Gaza points being, "7 October, so Israel can do what they like".

Yet again the audience outdid the panel on the subject of Gaza, even with the SNP presence.

Someone brought up our arms industry and how good we are at making and exporting arms which was a refreshing call.

That reminds me... dole office sent me down to ROF in Patricroft in 1978. Turned up for the job interview to show a bit of willing and straight off told them to fuck their weapon making shite. For some reason I didn't get the job

Yes, I seem to remember Bruce shutting down that line of questioning somwhat.

Surely.

Or this?

Surely.

If only.

 

[stavros]

She swiftly moved on from an audience member bringing up the suggestion of genocide again. There must be some dictat from the DG not to explore that before the ICJ finally decides, in several decades time.

 

[BusLanes]

QT is in Croydon tonight but I'm struggling to see what connections Lammy, Lucas, Warsi or Tim Stanley of the DT have with the area or South London

 

[stavros]

I suppose Lammy is a London MP, and according to Wiki Stanley is from Sevenoaks. Lucas represents Brighton, and BHA have a big rivalry with Palace, so I guess she's an obvious pick.

Warsi is MP for... ah wait, no, she's never been an MP, sitting unaccountable instead in the Lords.

Which is in London.

 

[stavros]

It would've been good to explore the notion one audience member put forward, of shutting down the tax havens, but maybe that's in the same camp as genocide.

And I'd like to know from Tim Stanley how one goes about paying more tax than one owes. As far as I'm aware that option doesn't exist.

Thought you could make voluntary payments?

A very quick search suggests it's only to confess to underpayments that HMRC have missed.

Cardiff tonight, with amongst others Guto Harri.

 

[Raheem]

You can gift money to the Treasury, although that wouldn't be classed as tax.

My quick search found this

To donate towards general public expenditure, all that is required is a simple email to the Treasury providing basic information.

From https://www.taxjournal.com/articles/want-to-pay-more-tax-
No that much has been donated. £48k towards national debt and £2k for general expenditure in 2020.

My approach is to not use gift aid when offered. Means extra money goes to the treasury and it costs me nowt.

Most of the ways I saw was for self-employed by not declaring tax deductibles so you pay more tax than you need to.

Edit: changed do to so.

I would have to say yes and no to both.

 

[Calamity1971]

My fellow scousers haven't let me down yet. 20 mins in and the Tory is getting a battering. Big up for Stephen Flynn as well.

 

[hash tag]

I saw the bit where that nice tory was saying that Hester should either be ostracized or forgiven.
What about punishment or retribution, being charged with offences.

 

[stavros]

How long was that Mad Mel monologue about a second holocaust? Why didn't Bruce, or anyone, shout "bollocks" at her? If I'd been Flynn I'd be asking lawyers if there was anything libellous in all that.
