Balanced Question Time panel tonight - of course not! VOL 2

[The Don of Croy]

Liddle vs Greer? Game on.

Rod Liddle is good value - a Labour member who supports some very un-pc thoughts and is not afraid to voice them.

Might be worth staying up for.

If I recall rightly , Boston voted brexit by the highest % in the country. If not highest, then close to it.

70%+ I believe they said last week.

Another panel designed to increase the sales of TVs.

then the Audience should be quite vocal. However I doubt the BBC will allow this.

I will bet my bottom Euro that the audience is doctored to reflect a 70% Remain quota. The BBC will have been absolutely scouring the public sector and NHS for audience members.

[ahem] Do you mind? The correct term is "our NHS"

[uk66fastback]

Do they (the Beeb) construct these audiences to represent the national vote or the % vote of the place where they are?

We went to the one in Peterborough a few years back and remember when we applied online being asked for let's say, 'political sympathies' ....

We might have been the only two Communists in the audience

joke

[Thorodin]

Oh, I doubt it. They are all liars. Well, most of them.

I see no point whatsoever in having Emily Thornberry on any sort of panel, when she can and will cry 'sexism' to close down a line of discussion she either doesn't like or doesn't have the intelligence to explore.

Hopefully (but I doubt it) the pompous , sneering , arrogant , rancid creature will get the treatment from the public at large that she deserves in bucket loads.

"Our NHS" is code for "their NHS", the subtext being that "their" are the workers and unions.

How dare you, show some respect for her Ladyship

I'd love for one of the audience to ask whether she ever uses her title - I'd wager a fair bit of cash that it comes out of the drawer when booking flights etc.

Best quote I've heard on her Ladyship came from Chris Woodhead - "I celebrate her good sense as a parent and deplore her hypocrisy as a politician". 'Nuff said . . .

Has Emily Thornberry got a frigging QT season ticket?

She has nothing better to do.

She and Owen Jones should be packed off somewhere never to grace our screens again (I'll pay double the license fee if the BBC do this).

She's about the only vaguely TV friendly person the shadow cabinet have got in that she can just about avoid saying anything too blatantly Trot.

It's a low bar however and she only just clears it.

Emily Thornburry not appearing on QT...

"I'm representing HM Opposition at Shimon Peres's funeral in Jerusalem. The inimitable @RichardBurgon is appearing for us on QT tonight"

[CambsBill]

I'm amazed Abbott hasn't been rolled out to laud the great leader in the week of his deification

Christ, Burgon would be out of his depth in a shallow puddle.

Desperate.
