Question Time tonight

He seems pretty thick tbh...I assume he's a mason and that's assisted in his progress?

They're not talking about things, though. They've settled into that cosy all-political-chaps-together consensus. Let's bicker a bit and not rock the boat too much.

That's right, but that's their job...and the role of the state braodcaster. God grief, we can't have the masses actually being exposed to the real drivers behind their impoverishment.
 
Phillips more or less spouted the LM position on child sexual exploitation line for line. She's clearly been spending too much time around Claire Fox and the IoI.

Didn't watch it as always but Matt Forde was always funny on Radio 6 he was on either Russell Howard and John Richard's show or Adam and Joe can't remember which.
 
Mad Mel's assertion that she's better placed than most to comment on immigration because some ancestors of hers came to the UK 100 years ago was a bit "some of my best friends are black".
 
Have any drinking games been formulated based on Question Time clichés? For example, a shot whenever a coalition spiv says "We inherited such a mess of an economy caused by the Labour party", any mention of "hard-working families", etc.
 
Well, tonight saw one of the most baleful discussions on benefits for years: a hard faced woman who was basically on her arse instead of attacking the govt and tax dodgers , asked "why do the unemployed get more than her?", the right wing panel all agreed with her on this very bald assertion, especially Platell, even Jo Brand waffled on about, "the dignity of work"

no mention of how little most people on benefits get, a brief mention of the cuts by Chukka, and the audience seem to agree with the woman, it was Romford after all, but still depressing.

I've definitely seen one on Twitter, as well as a bingo card. The tory will always come up with 'a difficult decisions' at some point in the evening, it's written into their contract.

Nobody dared to ask about it tonight, did they, without fear of being taken outside and shot.

I was waiting for that, I'm usually one of those on here who defend working class people(being one myself) and issues, and hate the 'chav' bashing, etc, but there was just something about this woman, a total lack of empathy and that is how my mother for example would have described her, same goes for most of the audience, even the liberal types who seemed to cheerlead for immigration but seemed to brook no support for those on benefit.

If she were on apprentice wages and not working a full week, it might very well be the case that she earns less than the dole.

We can write off Romford to UKIP then.
