Question Time & This Week

Listening to Conservative bullshit about Brexit just makes my blood boil. How does no one on that panel call them up on it?

General Conservative bullshit actually!

And the smugness. Oh how I wish those poll numbers are wrong or they dramatically decline to see the panic and horror on those smug punchable faces!

Andrew Neil clearly loves a bit of Brexit.
 
Michael Portillo gets properly nasty and jingoistic about brexit these days.

You're asking quite a lot in making the ex-Bullingdon Club member hosting Question Time or the former chairman of the Federation of Conservative Students and research assistant for the Conservative Party hosting This Week to hold the Tories to account on anything.

Edit: In fact, I'm amazed anybody who steps foot on a show hosted by the latter manages to sit through his rants without pointing out his judge of character led to him employing David Irving.

Even the Labour MP on the panel doesn't call them up on it. It's absolutely disgusting what they can get away with. If I was anywhere near that audience I would have heckled David Davis everytime he opened his mouth because all that came out of it was unsubstantiated speculative bullshit. And he's supposed to be in charge of Brexit. Deary me!

Dimbleby would cut them off anyway. There is a rather big story about investigations into election fraud at the last GE, not that you'd know if you watched Question Time for the last few months. Time always runs out just as they were about to get onto that issue.
 
A lot of English saying it's deliberately biased and left wing on QT tonight. Absolute rubbish. It's representative of the vote in Scotland, and it's great to see the tories getting an absolute kicking. Can't pull the wool over the eyes of everybody. It's apparently bad that the Tory is getting booed? What about Sturgeon getting booed last week?
 
I like David Hayman. For mine he's the best actor/entertainer I've seen on QT, most of the others turn my stomach.
 
Edinburgh is supposed to be a good place for the Tories :lol:

Didn't see it last week. Not sure the Tories are getting a kicking tbf. The Labour bod has got grief too.

Oh god, Merryn is going pro-Brexit.
 
Napier and Heriot Watt :rolleyes:

Maybe the SNP should ask Edinburgh and Dundee about their life science funding in an independent Scotland.
 
Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish versions of Question Time are always absolutely dreadful.

Why is that? Because the room isn't filled with tories and brexiteers? Only British politics matter? The left wing attitude of the audience is representative of the area.

Thought my hairline's bad at 28.

I agree generally on Thornberry, the "how dare you" act is pretty unconvincing.

No because much of it is dull and provincial. When it's held in Hampshire half the show isn't about local Hampshire issues.
 
Douglas Murray is such an epic variety of bellend.

It's Tory in the context of Scotland. Which would be quite meh when compared with their dominance in England.

Supposed to be challenging for 2 or 3 seats in the area though, but then I'm not sure they're the types to go and shout about it on QT.

Be interesting to see how Labour do in this election in Scotland compared to previous though, it seemed popular in the room however unrepresentative it might be.

It'll be very interesting. In several council areas they're actually being sound cnuts at the moment and aligning with the SNP instead of the Tories (happened in South Ayrshire for one I believe, some other places too) and such behaviour seems commendable when they're actually going for policy-based alignments instead of focusing on the union.

Ironically though, a slight increase for them at the expense of the Tories benefits the SNP: statistically, the more the union vote is divided the more the SNP are likely to win. Areas like Edinburgh South (Labour's remaining seat) and East Renfrewshire among others are the sort where the vote will go Labour/Tory if people consolidate behind either party, but will go SNP if there's too even a split. So it'll be very interesting to see what happens. My own area somehow ended up with more Labour councillors than SNP last week but will almost certainly stay SNP in June.
 


Rayner I quite like, Priti Patel is awful. Green instead of UKIP!
 
At that awkward moment of life where I'm agreeing with the Lib Dem most.
 
Oh my God, This Week is doing Twin Peaks as their intro.

She was comfortably the best performer on the panel.

People don't like her accent and working class background and it's clear to see all over social media. She made a right twat out of Patel all night and dealt very well with more or less every issue.
 
Tory cnut lad in the audience, picked twice, unfortunately for him. Next night he's out in town, someone will recognise him and a serious twatting will ensue. 'Please, don't hit me, I'm the best and the brightest'.
 
Delingpole is an unremitting twat still I see.
