For what purpose. king up the railway he wants the lights out too.Scotland why not nationalise your national Grid - you’ll have to borrow the funds yourself.

last night's show was just embarrassing.
+1Most of the audience seemed pretty financially illiterate. I've had better chats with A level
Economics students.
The SNP twit doesn't seem to understand democracy or the phrase "once in a generation".
Mind you, the SNP whinging on does mean that folks are distracted from their appalling record
of Government. I wouldn't trust them to run a stall at a jumble sale.
I guess that if there is a referendum anytime soon and it goes anything similar to the last one,
then the SNP are pretty much dead in the water for decades.
If the referendum goes the other way and the Scots are free to paddle their own canoe,
then that's a lot of public money (via the Barnett formula) that won't be sent North.
Looks like a win-win to me.
Well, Alastair Campbell really doesn't like Tim Stanley, it seems. Ouch!
Actually I thought Campbell came across as a grumpy, rude old has-been. He constantly talked over Dehenna Davison when he wasn't sneering and pointing a finger at Tim Stanley and even Fiona Bruce had to try to shut him up. And his fixation with Brexit as the root of all evils is pathetic. It was six years ago, and you lost: get over it, man!
Apart from him, a good panel - even the token musician bloke was interesting and eloquent.

Based on recent events, I was expecting last night's QT to be a bit of a car crash but I was pleasantly surprised how civil the panel and the audience were despite Campbell playing to the gallery.

IIRC Winston Marshall posted something political which upset many people, severe trolling followed him. Owing to that Winston decided that it was in the bands interest (Mumford & Sons) that he should resign from the band, which he did. He didn’t want the trolling to carry through to the musicians performing on stage.Actually I thought Campbell came across as a grumpy, rude old has-been.

It’s always been the Labour panelist’s who insist on talking over people, Nandy, Rayner, Thornbury etc.
Tim Stanley, Campbell, the Labour woman and the Ex-Mumford were good, even if I didn't agree with everything. The Tory woman less so.
AC is obviously a bit of a character (and, yes, the Iraq War was a travesty), but much of what he says is correct and I can understand why he would try to point out inaccuracies.

That is a slightly selective view, non?It’s always been the Labour panelist’s who insist on talking over people, Nandy, Rayner, Thornbury etc.

I try not to let my political leaning cloud my judgement of somebody. For example, I thought Bridget Phillipson was very calm and sensible, while disagreeing with her opinion. But Campbell was arrogant ("I'll talk over you because you're talking nonsense") and borderline rude. Telling another panellist - Tim Stanley - that "I don't respect you" marks him out not so much as a 'character' but as a rather unpleasant person. Yesterday's man, fighting yesterday's battles.AC is obviously a bit of a character (and, yes, the Iraq War was a travesty), but much of what he says is correct and I can understand why he would try to point out inaccuracies.

What, like the Eurosceptics got over the 1975 vote, and we never heard another peep from them 
From day one after the '75 vote, for 41 years they never STFU. All thru Thatcher's time they did everything possible to undermine Europe and erode the public's confidence. As was their democratic right. No one has to just shut up and lump the result of any vote. Eventually the eroded confidence to such an extent, they forced a 2nd vote and won it. As the outgoing PM might say, them's the breaks.
But now it's our turn. I'm 59, so doubt I've got 41 years left, but I will never stop undermining Brexit, and eroding confidence in the liars that brought it to us. It's been 6 years now and I'm quite enjoying it. The fact that it triggers so many rabid brexiteers is even better.
