Question Time.

[Destruction]

Michelle Dewberry predates my Apprentice-watching days so I have no idea what she's like.

Is she the blonde piece from Hull that Sky News trot out in the mornings?

 

[Alty]

She's certainly blonde and from Hull so I presume so.

 

[Destruction]

She's certainly blonde and from Hull so I presume so.

She's always come across as intelligent when I've seen her but then she's conversing with that tosser Eamon Holmes so it's not difficult. Imagine she'll be fighting the corner for the North tonight, good luck to her.

Can't Labour self-combust already and get Alan Johnson in as leader? I'd actually take them seriously and consider voting for them.

Nice fella but he'd basically just be a continuation of New Labour centrism.

Zahawi got absolutely rinsed by all the other panellists and the audience. Cringeworthy.

I thought Greer was on form. Putting the Chinese issue in wider historical context was worthwhile.

 

[Red]

Yeah,bit tough for Zahawi having to go on Qt when the topics are steel and tax credits. I didn't feel sorry for him though.

 

[Alty]

In Edinburgh this week. Shite panel so I mightn't make it to the end.

 

[Alty]

Two things occur to me after that.

1. Billy Bragg, even if I don't always agree with him, always comes to QT well prepared and has a good understanding of the issues he's discussing. Better than some politicians, frankly.

2. Dugdale and Corbyn have a big job on to turn around Labour's fortunes in Scotland.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Was just about to quote the following...

Shite panel so I mightn't make it to the end.

... to say this is obviously COMPLETE PIFFLE.

RIGHT AS EVER!

 

[Alty]

As a special treat I'm going to avoid checking who's on tonight so I can enjoy the surprise.

 

[Alty]

I'm definitely a bit in love with Victoria Coren.

 

[Destruction]

Chuka must be good mates with Pagnell, proper fence pals.

 

[Alty]

Coren and Hitchens were good. All the politicians were poor. Meh.

 

[Destruction]

Fucking depressing is what it is.

Only 4 and a half years till Boris Johnson gets voted in mind.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Hitchens were good

Unless Christopher has somehow returned from BEYOND THE GRAVE I refuse to believe this.

APPALLING MAN

 

[Alty]

Unless Christopher has somehow returned from BEYOND THE GRAVE I refuse to believe this.

APPALLING MAN

He called for the resignation of Jeremy Hunt, lamented the mass sell off of council houses and highlighted the total hypocrisy of our attitude towards Assad bearing in mind our relationships with the leaders in Egypt, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

Strong night for P-Hitch.

 

[mowgli]

Coren and Hitchens were good. All the politicians were poor. Meh.

Coren by far the best panelist last night she spoke so much sense compared to Greening, Chuka and the Mick Hucknell lookalike who were all a waste of space.

 

[General_disarray]

If you ever wanted an advertisement against democracy just show them an episode of Question Time....

Some of these people shouldn't be allowed to vote.

 

[Alty]

Certainly one of the strangest audiences in a while. But then it was Stoke.

Not a great panel at all. The fact Javid came out more or less unscathed shows how ineffective the rest of them were. I wonder if he would fancy a crack at the leadership when Cameron goes?

 

[Dave-Vale]

Didn't find out it was in Stoke until last week or I would have tried get tickets for it. Haven't had chance to watch it yet. Dreading hearing the accent.

 

[Dave-Vale]

Stig Abell's comment regarding Corbyn's mis-quote about Bin Laden's death was absurd and irrelevant. Despicable man.

Good to see local bloke Alan Barrett giving him some stick.

"Listen pal, I'm speaking, shut up".

 

[mowgli]

Anyone watching PMQ's? Osbourne looks completely out of his tree again fuck knows what he's on but he keeps looking at the ceiling while Mp's ask their questions.

Cameron is bad enough but Osbourne looks sociopathic. Imagine him getting in!

 

[Alty]

Belfast tonight. Usually one of my favourite locations but Soubry being on the panel means there's a fair chance I'll want to smash the telly up.

Something tells me they've changed the panel, actually. Probably in reaction to Paris. I think the line-up that was talked about last week was set up to be quite NI-focused, whereas now it'll probably be predominantly about terrorism/migration/the EU, with one question near the end about Peter Robinson's legacy.

 

[TheArtfulDodger]

Legacy, the man's a fucking cuckold blert.

 

[Alty]

Legacy, the man's a fucking cuckold blert.

Hahaha. That whole saga was properly bizarre.

Didn't happen mate it was in London concentrating on the terror threat,christ it was dull and predictable.

I reckon Mrs O rides cowboy.

 

[Red]

I'm definitely a bit in love with Victoria Coren.

She is delicious. Gorgeous, witty, intelligent and fairly handy at poker too. What more could a man want?

 

[Alty]

Quite a lot of support for Corbyn in the audience last night (notwithstanding the Spanish woman who said his followers are all closet communists ).

Mary Beard is a decent sort, isn't she?

Nice to see Vince Cable given a chance to get out of the house.

Caroline Flint is so annoying.
