Question Time tonight

I enjoyed that audience member saying the UK used to be "the best at almost everything".

And Dimbleby, and any other presenter, ought to shut down anyone who states that a majority was won last year for anything else but leaving the EU.
 
There was actually a majority vote for staying in the single market. 48% of people voted to stay in the EU, for a start. Of the other 52%, at least 2% must have bought into the prevailing leave vote narrative that it was possible to leave the EU and stay in the common market.

Be that as it may, the question wasn't posed to the electorate last year.

I'd also wager that not everyone, including myself, had thought about the single market or the customs union, to name but two of a myriad of other factors.

You're right. Those aspects are are too arcane. It was about immigration, or the NHS, or housing, or English nationalism, or the Tories, or buses, or sovereignty, or Greece, or supra-national neo-liberal institutions or bananas.
 
On the panel tonight: Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, Labour's shadow justice secretary Richard Burgon, Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas, Mirror columnist Susie Boniface and David Cameron's former director of communications, Craig Oliver.

I'm convinced Jacob Rees-Mogg is a pastiche created by Iannucci, Morris or Brooker.

And whatever happened to Oliver's predecessor, that nice Mr Coulson? They should try and get him on QT. Someone must have his mobile number.
 
A fine collection of ruddy-cheeks tonight, a couple of thumb-heads, a lesser-spotted young Tory not-quite-shaver, and a single deployment of the word "signifier". A decent scorecard.

*fills in I-Spy book*
Best thing about empty signifier woman is she ended up saying something completely meaningless herself as far as i could make out :thumbs:
