Posted February 6, 201411 yr I thought it's be nice to have a dedicated thread for this, I'm sure many of is watch this. Tonight's is a little ridiculous with Starkey/Galloway dominating in panto fashion. Tessa Jowell is as false as ever.
February 6, 201411 yr George Galloway is a bit too extreme even for my tastes, but God do I wish someone as passionate as he is was in the frontline of politicians. I'm surprised they let racist David Starkey on again.
February 6, 201411 yr I LOATHE it. I watch if I've got nothing else on and I catch it on the TV, but the incessant applause and bollocky populism really does set my TITS ON EDGE.
February 7, 201411 yr Author I LOATHE it. I watch if I've got nothing else on and I catch it on the TV, but the incessant applause and bollocky populism really does set my TITS ON EDGE. ok hoi poloi, we cant all be as highbrow as you and yes i do occasionally watch loose women, what of it?
February 7, 201411 yr PEDANTRY: hoi polloi more accurately refers to those I'd have ROUNDED UP in the audience and submitted to re-education programmes :hitler:
February 7, 201411 yr I'm afraid the combination of George Galloway and David Starkey was too much for me so I didn't bother last night. A dedicated thread for the programme is a good idea though. I often follow it on Twitter (sometimes even when not actually watching the programme :lol:) but that is far too busy to be able to read all the comments.
February 7, 201411 yr I went through a phrase of watching it, but then I got really bored - most of the panel bullshit to get the populist approval anyway. I might watch last night's though, I'm always interested to hear what David Starkey has to say even if I don't necessarily agree with him
February 7, 201411 yr I find that this programme irritates me far more than a debate programme should (or maybe that's because people like David Starkey and Melanie Phillips irritate me, I'm not sure).
February 13, 201411 yr YES at this Scunthorpe audience laying into the establishment for pampering the south-east just because they have to suffer the horror of some damp carpets. Edited February 13, 201411 yr by Danny
February 13, 201411 yr YES at this Scunthorpe audience laying into the establishment for pampering the south-east. I KNOW *.* "If it's not within 10 miles of London you don't care"; so true <3
February 13, 201411 yr This is the second successive week when they have not had a Lib Dem on the panel. Therefore, I am not watching it.
February 15, 201411 yr This is the second successive week when they have not had a Lib Dem on the panel. Therefore, I am not watching it. Oh, someone noticed. Worth noting that my friend was the one who asked that first question last night. Smashed it, I hadn't really known any recent examples of large scale flooding up north.
February 15, 201411 yr YES at this Scunthorpe audience laying into the establishment for pampering the south-east just because they have to suffer the horror of some damp carpets. It's not really as simple as that though is it. I agree that the North should get as much attention but the South East is still struggling a lot
February 17, 201411 yr It's not really as simple as that though is it. I agree that the North should get as much attention but the South East is still struggling a lot Sure of course it is, but the media favors attention on the South East. There's been some ridiculous weather in the North of England over the past decade. It's awful when anyone's affected by natural weather causes, but there's a sense of injustice from the North definitely. I can't remember all the coverage, but it would be interesting to repair the coverage the North of England got in the 2007 floodings compared to now.
February 20, 201411 yr The Tories are frequently accused of having a problem with women. Philip Hammond is not helping by constantly getting the name of Labour's representative wrong. He clearly thinks Labour only have one woman front-bencher so it must be her.
February 20, 201411 yr Who's on/what's he calling her? Liz Kendall on but Hammond seems to think she is Rachel Reeves.
March 20, 201411 yr For as much stick as Question Time gets, in my view the fact it moves around the country makes it one of the most accurate "weather-vanes" of political opinion. For the second time in a few weeks (after Scunthorpe a few weeks ago), northerners are rightly venting their fury at politicians pandering to the south east constantly and taking away from the rest of the country to give to the south east. Yet the establishment remains blissfully unaware of it.
March 20, 201411 yr The thought of seeing people defending the Budget put me off watching it this week. The point about moving around the country is a good one though. One of the worst features of our electoral system is that a party's MPs end up coming from very similar constituencies. One of the strengths of the Lib Dems should be that, even with fewer seats than Labour or the Tories, they represent a more diverse range of constituencies. Sadly they haven't used that strength in the coalition.
April 9, 201411 yr Among the panelists tomorrow night - unless there is a late change - is Sajid Javid who has just been promoted to the Cabinet after Maria Miller's resignation. Hmm, I wonder what the first question will be :lol:
