Last night's Question Time

[Steve Hunt]

................seeing as my old one seems to have vanished

Anyone see last night's programme?

Starkey on cracking form as usual. Highly controversial, especially with islamic terrorism question.
Anna Soubry - simply awful
Douglas Alexander - came across a lot better than I would have believed

[the rotary club]

Where was the pound shop Enoch Powell?

[andyrich666]

I listened to it in bed, I think I missed the end of it.

Starkey says what people think but are too scared to say, so he should be applauded for that, I don't think he got his points across fully though as was interupted too much. A man I would like to see what he said after a few beers.

Soubrey - Well her and facts do not go together.

Ahmed, Well fucking hell they had to have the token apologist on.............

.I had an unpleasant dream last night about farting in a crowded lift and nobody farting back in solidarity

[the rotary club]

Starkey - 'Katie Hopkins with a PhD.'

[therealHJ]

It was a classic example of the dhimification of the BBC

Alexander is a cunt

Soubry will lose her seat in May thank goodness as she is terrible

Mehdi Hasan didn't know his arse from his elbow; statist / anti-statist and Islamic terrorism apologist / Islamic terrorism critic

Dumblebum is useless he allowed Hasan to constantly talk-over Starkey

Despite being in a Tory area the audience was stuffed full of leftists as usual

The programme should be euthanised to put us all out of our misery

I caught the program this morning, luckily, as a recorded show, I could bypass the dross, such as the mainstream lipservice politicians, and Medhi Hassan - the one who thinks us non-muslims are "cattle" (according to the only one worth listening to).
Unfortunately, it was only 10 minutes worth.

It should, - although there is a version (australian, I think) where they have dispensed with the mainstream politicians, and only had a cross-section of individuals on the panel, - the one I saw made for a highly interesting show, and the BBC should consider it to breathe some new life into the tired program.

All this moaning from you and others yet you all still watch it.

Perhaps that's why they leave it as.

What else is there too watch ??

It can be funny, the problem is its full of people who are too offended to hear the truth.

Last night about the teacher, should it have been on there, if so, ill say it, fuck it if I was him id do the same, but you can imagine what kind of response I would get for that.......

[the rotary club]

Breaking Bad for me last night!

[Steve Hunt]

Breaking Bad for me last night!

I have just got the box set. Compelling.

Did you read my earlier post?
I watch it from recorded so that I can forward through the dross.

How did your hero perform, in your opinion?

I watched the whole 5 season's over the Xmas period - awesome TV, now on True Detective, only 15 min's in though

Be careful RC! It would appear that Roy has adopted the Alan Brazil method whereby one only watches 10 minutes out of 60 and yet I suspect he will know all there is to know about the whole programme.

Yep it's great innit.

I am glad I'm not the only person who hasn't seen it!

I'm ignoring your hero comment just in case it's another attempt a goad fest.

To be honest I never knew about it, but obviously it was big media wise because everyone I talk too knows about it, I only came across if after finishing all of Homeland, went on to rotten tomatoes to see what else had been highly rated.

If it had not been for that I still would not have a clue what people were talking about.

So maybe some parallel with BBCQT, that people watch as they as well may not know what has been going on in the week or so ?

Just as I'm ignoring your 'signature' - I'm please we can both rise above such things.

Remarkable isn't it?

Presumably you think they bussed them in? And the local people were excluded were they? Good of them not to kick up a fuss..

On the other hand, public opinion might not be where you think it is.

[therealHJ]

Hillman you know the BBC design the audience, why do you persist in this charade?

I could ask you the same question.

Yes, the BBC "design" the audience. In fact for precisely the opposite reason; to prevent it being stuffed by people from one group or party. It would be such an obvious target for extremists that they'd be stupid not to.

You are drifting into Twing Mk2 ; if reality doesn't suit, blame the means by which you perceive it. Sad.

Target for extremists? That's exactly what the BBC want, left-wing extremists that is

You'll be telling us next that Dimbletwat isn't a Socialist.

[Hillman avenger]

Oh dear

You chaps are going to have a bumpy ride over the next few months.

It really won't work lobbing the "socialist" label at everybody who disagrees with you or points out the fundamental deceit this government is practising.

As for Dimbleby, I have no idea what his politics are. I've seen him give people I support a hard time. I guess you have to expect that intelligent, educated people will have views on the world. Or would you rather idiots do the job?

The question is whether they allow those views to affect what they do; in which case you'd have to ask the same about Evan Davies and Andrew Neill. Fortunately they aren't allowed any way to just do what they want, not least because the BBC has rules about those things.

To my mind if Dimbleby can bear meeting Starkey every few weeks, the best of luck to him.
