Agree with all that, however, can't comment on the guitarist, Jamie MacColl. Never heard of him.
Have heard of Bombay Bicycle Club, no idea what they're like.
Hey, that's cute... BBC.
Probably not my scene!

Asides, what on earth warrants Jamie MacColl on QT?
Beeb getting desperate?
Well, yes we've known that for some time, on Question Time. (copyrighted in case BBC pinch it for their lyrics!)

Hang on a mo...
that surname...
ahh, his aunt was someone in music, quite famous, unlike him.
Kirsty!

Just looked at his twitter feed.
Jeezus, he's another save-us-from-old-people wet-behind-the-ears' lefty know-all.

Still, perhaps the band is ok?

You said guitarist from a st band...

Understatement of the day!

I might watch tonight now.

[Halb]

Truss and Campbell will be fkwits.
Butclet and MacOll, unknown.

The Lesser Hitchens will provide insight and fkwittery in an equal 50/50 share.

[anonymous-user]

Ming is a clueless idiot.

[Hayek]

Peter Hitchens FTW.

Only just caught this so I'm 10 mins behind.

[williamp]

how do so many of the panel know facts to hand, when they "dont know what questions will be asked". They must have access to the full encyclopiedia under their desks.

[Laurel Green]

Without earpieces can only assume they know the questions to be answered.

ETA: Hitchens making a lot of sense this evening.

[fido]

Liz Truss has a really annoying monotone voice. Doesn't answer the bloody questions or takes absolutely ages. :angry:

[williamp]

so we cant cann people without British pasports "foreigners". Its not a derogatory term...

"He called them foreigners" my god the inhumanity. Next time I go to another country and someone calls me a foreigner I will smash them in the face because apparently it highly offensive.

I think you need to look up the definition of what the word foreigner actually is, it is not offensive, unless you perceive it that way. It is probably less offensive than being called a sensitive snowflake...

[Laurel Green]

Hurt feeling all around.

I know I was trying to be sarcastic.

Ok, wasn't sure... Soz then...

[Laurel Green]

Hitchen's on a roll.

[williamp]

we're getting close to thr whole audience admitting they are members...

[skahigh]

This guitarist bloke is useless, he appears to think he holds edgy views when in fact he holds no real views at all, or at least, none he's willing to share.

Not far short was it...

Hitchens has the policing stuff imprinted in his mind, writes about it all the time.
