Question Time tonight

[weltweit]

Why the fuck is a ukip mep on it anyway?

Because I predict there will be a question on immigration.

If previous weeks are anything to go by at least.

 

[weltweit]

Anna Soubrey is a dolt. Mind you that said I don't think even a liked tory like Ken Clarke could defend the regressive nature of this budget, but Soubrey isn't even trying.

 

[treelover]

Lively Sheffield audience,

 

[zxspectrum]

Is Anna Soubry actually an act? An elaborate if annoying piece performance at.

 

[belboid]

The kipper and Rachel bloody Johnson both to the left of Chukka, shock horror.

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

That kipper woman is full of shit. I just searched the UCAS website for David Beckham Studies. To my utter disappointment there is no such thing.

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

Chuckle blaming the Greeks and talking about 'structural reforms'. Prick.

 

[DexterTCN]

SNP guy talked total sense all the time.

 

[gimesumtruf]

Talking heads but some of them do an awful lot of dogmatic damage.
Chukka Ummna = smirking when accused of being tory lite. He defends Blair but like Clegg, Blair is toxic.

I don't know how any politician can give away sovereignty to those tom, dick and harry's in the EU.

 

[gimesumtruf]

Now it's your moment of the week without touching my sidearm(RC).

 

[belboid]

SNP guy talked total sense all the time.

Well, except when he attacked cuts in corporation tax, and then had to admit that doing so was also SNP policy for Scotland.

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

And Chukka ends the show by endorsing Liz Kendall, a person who somehow manages to channel the ghost of Thatcher through the mannerisms of a CBeebies presenter.

The pearls, the pinched face, the breakfast presenter hair, the way her face jabbed forward when she spoke. She was like a spitting image puppet of herself, or probably how Quentin Blake would illustrate a mean-spirited posh Tory lady.

 

[gimesumtruf]

Fate gives me a hard time in 5 year stints , what did I do to deserve it ?
I'm glad you are here to suffer with me.

She is simply, awful. The unfettered arrogance is drawn all over her face. How she frowns with unconcealed contempt as if to say "talking over me? I'm a tory ffs!"

While she CONSTANTLY talks over everyone else.

 

[susie12]

She's like a reanimated Thatcher. Hideous hideous woman.

 

[campanula]

Bloody hell - glad I turned it off as offspring's TV would probably be kicked to fuck in the corner. I am guilty of head in sand tactics but only to save my sanity, so am admiring of, and grateful to those who can force themselves to watch these hateful clowns, then report back to the rest of us.

 

[zxspectrum]

i expected a more tory-compliant audience, so, in question times, that was a pleasant surprise.

 

[danny la rouge]

Well, except when he attacked cuts in corporation tax, and then had to admit that doing so was also SNP policy for Scotland.

I didn't see the programme, but it's worth noting on a point of information that cutting corporation tax in an independent Scotland *was* SNP policy under Salmond, but isn't now: that's one of the changes Sturgeon brought in.

(Hypothetical in both cases anyway, as Scotland doesn't have power over corporation tax).

 

[brogdale]

McDonnell.

Anyone gonna watch?

 

[J Ed]

Yes, for the first time in about a year

 

[weltweit]

McDonnell.

Anyone gonna watch?

Yep I will watch..

 

[YouSir]

McDonnell.

Anyone gonna watch?

For about ten minutes until I get pissed off.

 

[belboid]

Liz Truss too, should be hilarious

 

[brogdale]

Liz Truss too, should be hilarious

spesh with Salmond on her case as well!

 

[weltweit]

Liz Truss too, should be hilarious

 

[brogdale]

Gone down in my estimation...

Speaking on BBC Question Time, he also said he was sorry for an "appalling joke" about former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

In 2010, he said that if he could go back in time he would "assassinate Thatcher".

Challenged on this remark by a member of the audience, he said: "It was an appalling joke. It's ended my career in stand-up, let's put it that way, and I apologise for it as well."

Here is a link to that story you quoted:

John McDonnell sorry for IRA comment - BBC News

He tried to explain his IRA comments too:

Speaking on Question Time, he said at the time he made the comments it had looked like "we were going to lose the peace process".

His remarks were made at a gathering in London in 2003 to commemorate IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands.

He said his choice of words had been wrong, adding: "What I tried to do for both sides is to give them a way out with some form of dignity otherwise they wouldn't lay their arms down."

He added: "And can I just say this, because this has been raised with me time and time again - I accept it was a mistake to use those words, but actually if it contributed towards saving one life, or preventing someone else being maimed it was worth doing, because we did hold on to the peace process.

"There was a real risk of the republican movement splitting and some of them continuing the armed process. If I gave offence, and I clearly have, from the bottom of my heart I apologise, I apologise."

 

[weltweit]

Pisses me off all this BBC commenting on Question Time BEFORE the show has aired!

Securty, security, security... *yawn*
