Balanced Question Time panel tonight - of course not!
Discussion
Peak stupid has been reached; hull breach imminent. 'we should have more renewables and cheaper energy' or words to that effect. Jesus christ and the bloody orphans. The stupid then gets deeper by complaining about 'subsidy' that's not a subsidy for nuclear power, then demanding that the mindbendingly expensive Cardiff barrage should be built, which will need much the same non-subsidy but for 90 years instead of just 30.

Can we have a week when we don't get a question on the EU or NHS. It's the same drivel rolled out each week without fail.
Never the EU vote is within 6 months the biggest decision in 50 years. NHS it has issues one way or another and is paramount to UK population we all pay for it we need to understand it.
Lots of ridiculousness tonight. The highlight (read lowlight) was Leanne wood realising that farage was right that a higher minimum wage would increase migration and having to quickly jump to the default ' blame the bankers and tax the rich' and we will all be wealthy'.

Great end with audience member calling to account Carwyn and Wood on their claim to either not take, or hand back their pay increase 
To not even know how they get paid!
Reminded me of the Goggle exec currently in the press claiming he doesnt know how much he earns.
But given his package i imagine it can differ a few million month to month with all his perks lol

Mr Farage must be really enjoying this.
The thing is Farage is spot on Q. Would BREXIT be able to impact migration?
A. Clearly yes we could close all our boarders is we so chose or let everyone in or some. Up to us. Stay in EU we cannot prevent anyone from within the EU from migrating to the UK.
Q. Why don't the govt do anything about the tariffs
A. We cannot change them we are part of the EU. They have to change it for us and for all. In the same way Texas cannot change the tariff on China the USA does it for all.
Love that FM idiot. £ has plummeted this year he's had 6 weeks+ to realise that.
Love the FM saying that all the steel infra jobs could buy Welsh steel... Um how? EU rules apply. Oh no it would be specialist - oh so no one else can make specialist metal only Wales? Boxed in gave the easy clap answer but thankfully some backbone to follow up the questioning to expose him fabricating the truth.
Why subsidise banks and not steel?
1. Had the banks gone under every single business would foreclose any cash they had in the banks would be lost ditto their suppliers etc all overnight.
2. If steel industry stops entirely the impact to the UK as a whole is tiny
3. If the banks collapsed the UK would be ruined and people personally would be ruined.
If the audience speakers (those brave enough to speak up, supporting Farage, or Brexit or immigration, or steel/tariffs) and the level of applause that met their interventions (given that there is a silent majority are still typically British politely embarrassed into silence due to the disapproving "you're nasty... They're just people" liberal view) id say we're split right down the middle on Brexit at the moment.

Apparently Romesh Ranganathan is a comedian, compared to some on the panel he was seriously lacking.
Farage was the only one speaking sense, which is more often the case whenever he speaks.
David nailed him though - so your in agreement that you don't want uncontrolled migration like Nigel .... Oh um no I just think it should be monitored...Farage was the only one speaking sense, which is more often the case whenever he speaks.

I think on the issues discussed tonight, people would vote to leave. Fact is we don't control our borders and on policy, our hands are tied too. But they of course aren't the only issues. I'm keen to know more about if Norway does pay a 75% fee and does have to implement eu laws, and if so, why. Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
