Sounds like it fits the standard Question Time guest list of "three party hacks, a racist, and a wildcard".

Jesus rod liddle. What tabloid shite.

I have it the radio, was thinking the same, just a slanging match with very little substance.

Ian Lavery, who announced at the Labour conference that they need to "kill off the Nationalists in Scotland". All bants.

The gall of him wanting to politically destroy the SNP. How awwwwful. I dont think he quite meant go Edward Longshanks on Sterling eh.

Dunno if I can be arsed to watch it any more. Same old fuckers all the time. It's either hideous rightwing blurg or hideous liberal smug. Or both. If anything the latest panel looks like a more normal realistic one.

Worth an hour of my life?

 

[Ax^]

mogs view on Brexit

[Ax^]

pedantic legal niceties are are actually a fundamental importance to protecting all our liabilities

Like I said. All bants, eh? not calling up martial imagery from the glorious bloodshed history of the Union or anything. Fuck Labour.

"In 2015 we had a general election that decided that we would have a referendum."

Mr. Mogg was seemingly oblivious to any other parts of the respective manifestos or previous performances which may have influenced voting.

It was either Mogg or Liddle who said that fewer immigrants would push up the pay of those on the minimum wage. My immediate thought was that that would only happen if the minimum wage increased.

Finally, have the European Research Group had any research published and peer-reviewed? They've been around for some 25 years, and suddenly seem to have been thrust into the limelight, sometime after the referendum. Are they accorded any respect and authority by those outside the media?

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Apparently Lavery had a go at Liddle, who looks even more like a sloppy Boris clone than he did previously, but tbh this sort of Punch & Judy setup just reinforces what a waste of time Question Time is.

Has Dimbles got more authoritarian recently? He seems to be quite pointedly directing panelists back to the question asked these days, as they go off on what barely pass for even tangents.

Dimbleby kept his cool pretty well on the whole . Lavery was getting to his feet, possibly with a view to fisticuffs, when Liddle went off on one about Corbyn's alleged support for terrorism on a global scale.'I'm not your mate' etc.Towards the end Hazarika and Liddle exchanging insults.Definitely a more than usually febrile atmosphere.I put it down to the Brexit process quietly driving us all round the twist.Again the most worthwhile contributions came from the audience.

It's difficult to bring myself to comment on last night, but Rees mogg and his investments stick with me. You are so confident about brexit, you moved all your investments to Dublin.
not true. A little to Dublin and Australia and Singapore and America and

Don't forget DD retires in December and they are auditioning for a replacement.

I have recollections that his company has or has had sizeable sums in Gibraltar. Whether he counts this money as being UK-based I'm not sure. What I am sure is that barely any of it is seen by HMRC.

Kathy Burke should be given a crack at it.

Talking of whom, when I try to do a Rees-Mogg impression it sounds like I'm talking in the club singer style.
