) about Kensington being one of the richest boroughs in the country yet having one of the cheapest council taxes - regret I can't remember the full quote either, but this is exactly the same here in Wandsworth

He didn't go down well at all. Completely misread the mood of the audience in the room and they were pleased to see the back of him and his visually repulsive shirt.
Now, millions of people are angry after recent events, there has been a political swing in the UK and he was right about the make up of the panel but that doesn't mean that people are gonna suddenly start liking the shouty and the entitled.

I think that the general election result has been the most exciting one in over 40 years with a socialist candidate bringing the labour party back from the dead to make it appealing to working class voters again.

Haha not seen him in years, used tp play on the same 5s team when Militant had Summer Camp. Always got on with Steve, sound lad. Is he still SP?
I dislike this idea that 80% of people voted for Brexit parties at the GE. Most of this is made up of the vote for two parties whose leaders, past and present, backed remain, and now are carrying out the edict from the referendum. Saying that they're definitively "Brexit parties" is a very odd interpretation.

Yes, I saw that. Very disappointing.
Why?

How does that pertain to her being on QT?

Have a read through the thread.
I'm familiar with it, the charge is that the Canary is more clickbait than not. Fine, I'm not disputing that. What I am trying to understand is why one of its editors, founders even, should be a disappointing pick on Question Time, which is a completely different format. Does she hold questionable views? Is she poor at comporting herself in a manner befitting the format of the show?

You aren't familiar with the 'charge'. Read the thread, because it answers the questions that you are asking.

I wouldn't mind so much if she was going on there just as the person in charge of The Canary, but in reality it's someone with pretty dodgy views going on there to represent the left.

Or, more likely, to represent Corbyn.

Yes, more accurate to say this I suppose.

Has the SNP ever been represented by the awful Wings over Scotland person?

Why is she due a place on the show? What in her analysis/political work/life experience merits exposure on national tv?
The fact that her shit politics - which are damaging - have a following on social media doesn't mean that they aren't shit politics.

Who else could she purport to speak for?
You've seen the other guests on question time, right?

She went to Oxford so she will be able to get on well with the rest of the panel...

No. I presume they are there to put the case for late capitalism? It's a shame that the 'left' spot on the back of the last few weeks is being filled with a empty bag of wind.
I mean, look at this shower - is there anyone on this list who's politics aren't shit and damaging?
