No, I have a feeling it might take a lot more than some dick to make that lot look at all like anything other than a bunch of pointless robot party hacks.

I'm so glad Liverpool John Lennon Airport has only got one runway and Heathrow has ended up with Joey (NIMBY) Barton. 
He's planely having his finest hour

apart from his sexist gaffe i don't think barton's doing too badly.
i'm only half way through though.

To his (small) credit he did appear to blush a little when he apologised after being challenged by the audience member.

not gonna stick up for him but he does spend a lot of time in an all male and pretty misogynist environment where i doubt that statement wouldn't raise an eyebrow, let alone get challenged.
Didn't M/United host a party for the footballers where only attractive women were invited?

would it be any better without him? would the same wtf? comments have appeared if, as usual , some ultra neo liberal daily mail columnist was on instead ?
probably better for much of audience and viewers noticing how he, and many others outside of their work and social circles, speak .

its an open question, it got lots of media attention at the time.

I stopped watching it years ago, for many of the reasons expressed here.
One of the worst things about it is it's sense of self importance. In reality it's a travesty of "debate" and worse than useless.
I don't think people should bother with it, as the saying goes - it only encourages them.

Yes there was. I might be conflating things, but wasn't it the Rio Ferdinand organised Xmas Party (at which there was a rape allegation [not about him and not proceeded with])?

That's really no excuse at all.

It must have been his ego that made him come on the show. Bad move.

why his ego and none of the others?
i think he's done fairly well, fucked up early but recovered and apologised.

Genuine question : Has TTIP ever been mentioned on QT?

Oh, that's alright then. It's just fine to come out with offensive sexist drivel on what is supposed to be an intelligent show so long as you apologise later on (but only when prompted by a member of the audience).
I've read his twitter for years. He's never come across as sexist on there. Quite the opposite. He's always stood up for minorities, gay rights etc.
He's not the brightest guy but he's definitely grown up over the last few years, unlike most footballers who are thick as pigshit and quite happy being so.

again , have to say , there's a bit of sneering on here , 'what's a footballer (working class over rewarded? ) doing on an intelligent (sic) show ?!.. sexist comments appear every week without the condescending abuse ...we could take his sexism if he had a PPE...?
proof comes from lack of condescension previously to Platell, Heffer...who do they speak for,in a qualified way, platform aside? , more than Barton ?
and Clarke Carlisle ..how did he do ..on here ?

yep,ok, here he's objectifying women by looks, by using a night out , last chance in a club scenario , to describe the shit choice of all four parties ...but the lack of choice is the point . and the one he makes . one that he would have said in a pub to mates . (whether women in a boozer would say the same about 4 ugly blokes at last orders , is moot ) I reckon many would .
political discussions is only for the ex uni lot, who know how to speak ...what words to use
(reminds me he said 'girls ' as well, didn't he?;
used against me by chief accuser when SWP were trying to expel me for 'heterosexism' having used same term , as well as using cheapest operator 18-30 to take jazz funk soul lot to Ibiza ..heterosexist I was , according to their leader who was ex tory voter .
I expelled them first , their primacy of language over debate , especially in their own class (middle) terms , has always stuck with me.
I've seen a little of that on here tonight . well done to Barton for engaging , in a middle class arena , admitting nervousness , apologizing , walking in their world , knowing they wouldn't last a minute debating in yours .

Is it because that's how far Piers Morgan will be allowed in the country before he's deported?Why the fuck are they at heathrow airport?
Normally I'd be feed up with the constant attention given to ukip, but the last few turns on here or the radio version have been so awful. For a party that thinks its doing well they don't want for sharp tongued self loathing nasty people.
Ugly, ugly, cars.Joey Barton + UKIP

Ironically, had Barton used that analogy, (rather the offensive sexist one that he did), he valid point about UKIP's rise would have been well received by many...perhaps even yourself?
