Question Time tonight

[stavros]

The bloke who suggested "exterminating" those caught with knives seemed to do it with a straight face.

Could not believe that. Amazed I haven't seen more outrage about it.

Particularly horrific was the suggestion that knife crime is committed by "a particular breed" who need exterminating.

I think last Thursday's offering was quite a sobering watch.I watched on iplayer and was a bit puzzled to see that Mr Dimbleby's programme was apparently"not suitable for children".The programme over-ran its hour slightly as Mairead McGuiness interpolated a short speech about the anniversary of Krystallnacht.All of this prompted by the neo-Nazi remarks of the "bloke" referred to by Stavros and Spackle-frog above.It almost seemed like a water-shed moment for the programme and for a second silence reigned.

No doubt others who also asked for the extermination of people in the past also did so in similar fashion.

The horrific moment is captured here:

Question Time audience member applauded for call to punish knife carriers but then goes too far (click for more)

 

[Poi E]

Goes to far and gets a few murmers from the audience. Tut tut. Still, there's always Strictly.

 

[stavros]

Tonight, we have Claire Perry MP, Stephen Kinnock MP, Liz Saville Roberts MP, Mark Serwotka and Tim Stanley.

I've found Stanley particularly irksome in his past appearances. We shall see if lives up to past glory.

How long do you reckon they'll spend on Brexit? I reckon it could top 30 minutes tonight.

 

[hash tag]

Serwotka; acerbic. Poisonous.

 

[Mr Retro]

What an absolute cunt David Dimbleby is.

Claire penny out cunts him tonight.

Barry Gardiner seems to have become QT's Corbynite of choice, with five appearances since Jezza took the reigns. Not quite Faragian levels, admittedly, but even so.

Have just watched qt, goodness that Perry woman is vile; a real Tory

Or penny as I called her ^^^^^
Yep, vile.

 

[Shechemite]

Wonder if Jezza will sue. Would be hilarious if he did.

 

[Riklet]

Jesus Christ why do they keep getting useless Barry Gardiner on, especially at a critical time like this.

Talk about not answering the question. Makes Labour look like a total joke.

 

[Poi E]

Is that a real person? It just sounds like a Private Eye rent-a-quote sort of name.

Satire dead etc.

 

[Cheesepig3]

What is wrong with exterminating people who repeatedly stick knives in other people?

 

[Poi E]

The death penalty is a treat saved for the occupants of the highest office.

Because the feel-good-factor of such a proposal doesn't solve anything. Plus, it's pretty much old testament style vengeance and retribution. Plus exterminating people has some unpleasant historical context, y'know.

On next week's panel, Sir Herbert Gussett, Dave Spart and Polly Filler.

 

[Poi E]

Actually, I've seen them all on the programme.

 

[stavros]

Dimbles said that Benjamin Zephaniah will be on next week, so perhaps E.J. Thribb could accompany him.

 

[Libertad]

Dimbles said that Benjamin Zephaniah will be on next week, so perhaps E.J. Thribb could accompany him.

And Penny Foreham.

Thanks; I'd not really given it a lot of thought.

There are breaking reports that Fiona Bruce will be taking the chair next month/year. I'm not sure she would be my first choice.

Nor mine?

Mel and Sue were cruelly overlooked, IMHO

 

[hash tag]

Radio reports say that various people have had screen tests including Emily Maitless and Fiona Bruce came out best

Mel n Sue

 

[Poi E]

I suppose someone with a "regional" accent would have been too much for Aunty.

 

[hash tag]

Well Fi is Scottish I believe, though you would never tell from her accent. More like Surrey meets Eton meets hampstead, village that is

 

[billy_bob]

Ant's not busy right now, is he?

He'd be better than the walking, talking Mail headline that is Fiona Bruce.
