Question Time tonight

[SpookyFrank]

He's a cunt. Timpson's charged Mrs Sas £15.00 to change a watch battery. The batteries are pennies... lots of lovely profit in that transaction.

(I couldn't get the back off it, or I would have done it myself.)

There's always a bloke in the market who'll do a watch battery far cheaper than timpsons. Your local independent hardware shop will probably cut you a key for a pound as well, not the seven quid or whatever it is for forty seconds' work at timpsons.

You obviously do not know of JT who sounds like he is a very good employer and is also very philanthropic. There are many many worse employers and many many less likeable people.

I particularly like how he donates to the tory party to avoid tax. Or. as he puts is, saving the tax-payer money by paying for some of their running costs.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Throw it on the floor, always works.

May work in terms of getting the back off, rather dubious about the watch continuing to work though.

He did, may still do, a business advice column in the Telegraph. His advice was never employee friendly. More along the lines of 'Not getting enough work out of them? Get rid.'.

It was more get prison workshops going - you don't even need to pay min wage. And you look like a philanthropic saint.

QT is looking a little more interesting tonight with Ruth Davidson and Alan Johnson. Also Tim Stanley (Torygraph), Laurie Penny ( New Statesman) and Tim Rice (Leave).

BTW JT and his wife fostered nearly a hundred children, which, at times, caused them much trouble. From what I can gather,, he looks after his staff and treats them well.

 

[stavros]

Tim Stanley is becoming ominously omnipresent on discussion programmes. It's quite a nice change having only two politicians on though.
