Question Time tonight

[brogdale]

david strarkey is an obnoxious rent a cunt whose blatherings post-2011 riot were unreconstructid scientific racism

This.

Though, within his first rambling diatribe in response to the 1st question, he clearly defended freedom of expression with the key point that..

...religion has got no privilege whatever...

Unfortunately, he also said a load of other utter bollux.

 

[Andrew Hertford]

Why is David Starkey famous? He's one of those people whose name I hear but don't know who he actually is.

"Katie Hopkins with a PHD".

 

[Nine Bob Note]

I missed this?

"Starkey has some serious blunder form on Question Time, including insisting that a 16-year-old pupil could “groom” a 44-year-old teacher; stating that violence, not consent, should be the measure of rape; and saying that Princess Anne looked like a horse."

 

[SpookyFrank]

....and saying that Princess Anne looked like a horse."

Even a stopped clock etc.

 

[brogdale]

Tonight..

Conservative Employment Minister Esther McVey MP, Labour's Diane Abbott MP, Deputy Leader of Ukip Paul Nutall MEP, former President of the Liberal Democrats Tim Farron MP and the Editor of The Independent Amol Rajan

'kinnel.

Mind you, just imagine what a leaders' debate with 7 will like!

 

[bemused]

When they get to Chilcot I wonder if Abbott will remind everyone she resigned over the war but omit only after everyone else did and she felt silly. Her vs McVey should be good value.

 

[rekil]

Abbott is one of the known half dozen or so who blocked ProleDem on the twitter machine. Dunno why, for being asked about abstaining on the workfare vote, as instructed by the party whip possibly. Why do you hate the intergalactic working class Diane?

Resigned from what?

 

[bemused]

Resigned from what?

For nothing, I've confused her with Claire Short ..... tit I am.

 

[stavros]

Having just finished last week's episode, I hit upon the idea that they should cut off the mic of those who will not shut up like Starkey. Failing that, a Graham Norton-style chair for all participants, but without a cushion behind them.

 

[DotCommunist]

or just give starkey a dry slap and throw him out

 

[stavros]

Or get someone better than David Dumbledore in the chair, who'll tell them to answer the question posed or shut the fuck up.

 

[Kesher]

On 5th Feb

Galloway is like Starkey on QT, good value.

 

[rekil]

Galloway is one of Proletarian Democracy's bitterest enemies - in the top 10 for sure.

Spoiler

 

[JHE]

Galloway is like Starkey on QT, good value.

I suppose aging prima donnas are often good value. They'll perform for peanuts and do all the old numbers their fans adore. The clever ones can even spatter their performances with pious fragments of Arabic or gobbets of Tudor genealogy.

Say something about muslims

 

[ViolentPanda]

Say something about muslims

I'm quite disappointed that he didn't mention "al-Respec", frankly.

 

[Nylock]

The night's still young(ish)....

 

[stavros]

Nicky Morgan and Tristram Hunt both on this evening to argue about how to reorganise our education system for the 94th time.

Not forgetting Gorgeous George Al-loway's educational vision...

clare. not claire.

 

[weltweit]

Apparently a Jewish group has complained about Galloway being on QT tonight.

 

[butchersapron]

And?

Every person apart from Galloway on tonight (presenter included) is Oxbridge.

 

[LeMoose]

Tristram Hunt is hopeless.

 

[friedaweed]

 

[brogdale]

It's the Galloway question.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Tory minister talking about our 'proud tradition of offering asylum', a proud tradition her government is doing its best to undermine.

 

[brogdale]

Wow..that last contribution from the audience....anti-semitism correlates with rise of Islam in Europe.

'kinel

 

[Nigel]

One of the main issues that should have been countered, left in the lurch !
The Zionist lobby in the audience booing about Galloway highlighting 'mass murder'; i.e war crimes, crimes against humanity in Gaza not objecting about that little nugget of racism & Islamophobia !
