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

[Thorodin]

Abbot's complaints are as predictable as her inadequacy in intelligent company. No question of any racism or misogyny, it is entirely a case of ridicule at her continually being paraded to front the party and failing miserably. Sometimes wonder if her party do it purposely to hasten her voluntary retirement. She must be a perpetual embarrassment and totally unsackable. I feel sorry for her, that's the biggest insult really. She'd be better off and more useful in back of office duties.

When you become MEP, I'll tell you.

In return for the office manager job...

Job's yours..............You do realise I will be MEP for the Southwest and Gibraltar?.............office will be in Gib

Fine by me. The travel budget is sufficient I believe.

What port do you want me to pick you up from, in the Type 45 loaded with coke and hookers?

Jump on as we pass under Tower Bridge while playing Land of Hope and Glory over the Tannoy and flicking the V's at the lovely Mr (Sir) Geldof on his gin palace.

And I simply pointed out that I didn’t say that it was ‘leavers’ that embarrassed the UK as you seem to want me to have said.

That may well be true but in another of your posts , " why do Leavers not want another referendum", after recieving multiple replies you suddenly change tack and state that
what you actually meant was "why are leavers scared of having another referendum".
Can you see why some folk may be experiencing some difficulty deciphering some
of your questions?

Excellent.

That will work out quite nicely...we can pick up some faux leather office chairs while we are there...........you never know we may even come across billynomates, aka the Gnomenicker, while in the harbour.

Not sure how she can play the racism card when there was an Asian prof on the panel, and theyve had countless Black and Asian panellists in the past who haven't been roundly criticised like she was. It had nothing to do with colour, she had absolutely no substance in any of her responses .

Here's how

Equally I can see why you hate her

Because you've convinced yourself he's a racist?

People hate her because she is profoundly thick.

^^This last night just another example of how thick she is which is in no way related to colour gender or even political leaning she is just thick.

Momentum suggests that Fiona Bruce was wrong to say that Labour are behind in the polls and Diane Abbott was correct saying they were level pegging.

I believe Labour's strap line "For the Many, Not the Few" came in for it's first big test this week.
The Many voted for Brexit.
Mr Corbin should meet with the PM & help deliver Brexit for the Many. Instead he seems to be trumping his toys out of the pram.
Using Brexit as a call for an election diminishes him in my eyes and I feel the catchy strap line has failed it's first test.

I'm looking forward to tonight's QT. I give her a triple thumbs-up and know Diane will shine.

[Welshbeef]

In some ways I feel sorry for her she is being the face to the public for the party and the party’s position who don’t have a clear policy.

Labour are just as divided or even more so than the Tory’s on EU. The Tory’s have had a few decades to get some sort of debates happen labour tucked that problem away and let the tories rip in public then enjoyed the Blair win (let him and brown give away so much of our rebate plus sign us up to the Lisburn treaty - not even a parliment vote).


Then again every time I’ve seen her on tv she makes some serious balls up. Maybe it’s stress maybe she didn’t like public talking/engaging an audience who might not be aligned to her views in fact some of that audience have strong opposing views.

Then again maybe she is thick - I care not but if she was representing my constituency she would not receive my vote regardless of the party she stood for

The Cheer On Question Time that will terrify Corbyn's Labour. (I think you can read a couple of articles free)

https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2019/01/the-cheer-on...

The evidence was already there on the Government's own petition site, where No Deal is more than twice as popular as any other choice (without any media publicity, natch) but it was nice to see it confirmed.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions?q=no+deal

So just as Corbyn Monoxide (great name whoever coined it) goes all in on "take No Deal off the table", an audience from a working class Labour area give "No Deal" the loudest cheer ever heard on QT. Finger on the pulse that man I tell ya.

I wonder if JC watches QT, although I'm sure Diane will fill him in on the details if not!

Your word, not mine.

Fairly typical of your kind of left though, what with the labelling and all.

Much more than a whiff.

Yes it is my word. And the fact that you think I'm "left" simply because your boorish attacks on her have a whiff about them when in fact I vote anything but "left" confirms that you also can't see past your predetermined bias.

Your protestations are devoid of substance due to your propensity to throw the ist, ism & phobe label.

Equally, the fact that you think I'm sexist & racist simply because your social inadequacy deems legitimate criticism of a public servant who has a proven track record for idiocy & hypocrisy confirms that you can't see past your predetermined bias.

I realised I’d not worded my response correctly so admitted it and clarified that point, which by the way has absolutely nothing to do with the point that you have quoted. So I’m not sure what your point is?

So that means 61% didn't vote Tory, therefore a clear win for Labour (that's how it works, isn't it ?)

How can you state it has absolutely nothing to with the point I quoted , while not being

sure what my point is?

But of course now you've explained it I can absolutely see how someone could
ask "why do leavers not want another referendum" whilst what they intended to write was
" why are leavers scared of another referendum"

And if they don't, we could always hold a People's Election

I’m really not sure what point you’re trying to make. I admitted i worded a post incorrectly and corrected it. That post you quoted had absolutely nothing to do with that post.
