Why are Eddie Izzard, Russell Brand, Vivienne Westwood, Emma Thompson and their ilk given so much airtime when they have very little but bluster and confusion to add to any topic?
Being "famous" should not give you some special dispensation to try and influence political debate surely.

Now he's like a gobby kid in a playground, not funny at all, and desperately needs to get over himself.
I found Izzard to be a really bad debater. Even the audience didn't like himHe was OK when he first appeared many years ago.

and Dimbleby had to give him a verbal warning a couple of times. Not even
the modern day Arthur Scargill aka Owen Jones needed that sort of treatment.
Let's hope the BBC keep Izzard off QT for a long while, until he learns
how to shut up and learn how the program works.

That went down like a st sandwich didn't it?
She was getting some sympathy then about three quarters of the audience couldn't help but think 'fk right off!!'

Also reminded me of, 'you are all different.'
'I'm not.'

One of the things I like about QT is that the panelists normally say nothing until they are asked to speak, and they then address the audience or the question asker, not another panelist.
It is incredibly irritating when someone does not respect this etiquette.
Which political colour of politician tends to be the most shouty shouty? I bet there is a pattern.It is incredibly irritating when someone does not respect this etiquette.

Which 5 would make up the worst-ever panel? Brand, Izzard...

....throw in David Starkey and Peter Hitchins and you have a show we'd all be watching! Mental.
That old speaker - Bernard Weatherall or something - he was on there once - possible the worst panellist ever. He literally replied with two word answers, every time. No wonder the tt never appeared again.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
