Question Time, back to it’s normal time of 10.45 this week comes from Uxbridge, the constituency of new Conservative MP Boris Johnson and a Tory seat for 45 years. So expect the audience to consist of the sweepings of the local Student’s Union bar and a few dozen public sector workers.
The panel includes Conservative Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary Tristram Hunt, Leader of UKIP Nigel Farage, musician and campaigner Brian May and Editor of The Economist Zanny Minton Beddoes.

Well, there you are BLS, typical Tory scum taking it for granted that real people can afford tube rides! Thanks to the Savage Cuts, most genuine workers are forced to walk barefoot, of course, to any demo or similar location, only the frequency of giro facilities and food-banks allowing an effective performance on arrival.

Surely all the “carefully chosen” workers and Leftards should either be walking or riding a bike to QT anyway. After all, don’t forget about Global Warming that is one of the “Progressives'” and McBeeb’s favourite stick to bang us greedy, free-thinkers with.

Lot’s to talk about…Perhaps they’ll start with the BBCs deputy political editor Norman Smith, and his live claim on air, that Nigel Farage is a cunt….Yes, that’s what he said..

The “lovely Norman” – BBC anchor defending him a couple of months ago over similar slip showing – was trying to put as much disgust into quoting that he suffered from Freudian Slip malfunction. You’d think that they were his words not quoting. It is difficult keeping your bias hidden when the bile is roiling inside. Maybe he should get some counselling for his Farage trauma. Nigel does upset them at the BBC as they displace all their impotent rage at losing the election onto UKIP. One might complain about bias but the BBC is in huge denial and they might lose it again and call me a… cult.

Here I was, thinking that after the Euro elections albeeb had learned their lesson. The lesson that says, no matter how much you bad mouth UKIP, all that happens is their vote share increases.
Having tried their best during the GE campaigns to ignore UKIP, as part of their master plan to thwart them once again, they then found that hasnt worked either.
Hence, albeeb and the rest of the media are basically fucked.
Good.
Bring it on….keep farage on the front page, be our publicity agents.

‘Would the panel explain whether Nigel Farage is a racist c***nt or merely a racist’, and if he is banged up due to anti extremist legislation how will this facilitate a quick return of a Labour Government?

All day 5 live have been on about the ‘civil war’ within UKIP and the breakup of the party, how Farage is a megalomaniac and he resigned then ‘changed his mind’ , and without him they are finished ( does he eat babies too! )……Mean while in the real world I live in UKIP polled nearly 4 millions as opposed to labours 9 millions despite a vicious anti UKIP media. They also have hundreds of councillors and control a council.
Labour having lost the election, lost their leader and Balls are apparently back on track because it has been sorted all they need is a new leader. The fact that the electorate didn’t vote for them appears to be a question that has been carefully swept under the carpet, because it would mean having to admit that Labour has been a dying party for a decade or more and has out lived it’s purpose. ‘Talking and listening’ to the electorate is meaningless they all say that. It is clear labours purpose in life was destroyed when Thatcherism clearly showed that the working classes actually wanted to better themselves and aspire to be better than their neighbours and not be simply great full for an extra lump of coal to put on their fires at Christmas hard fought for by the unions.
It appears now analysis is being carried out that UKIP hit labour very hard up north and of course they were destroyed in Scottyland, it is clearly no longer a national party, and as such it will never form a government again without an ideological shift which of course has to be immigration UKIP proves this. Labour clearly will not shift on open doors immigration, they are therefor doomed to the dustbin of history, I for one rejoice at the slow and painful death of labour (having been a labourite in the past ), and they can take the BBC with them.

I remember back in Thatcher’s heyday, there was serious concern expressed that Labour was sinking and disappearing and that the necessary counterbalance it offered was no longer likely. This was not just the Left that was concerned, but reasonable people on all sides.
But Politics is unpredictable and momentum swings one way and then another, and to write off the Labour party for a decade is just as silly as to think in 1997 that Toryism had been routed forever by the New Centrist Blairites . It doesn’t happen like that.

I would have agreed with you once, but we have a new additive I the mix, immigration. labours Arthur Neather admitted publicly that immigration was to ‘rub the rights nose in diversity’ and give labour a new client voter as they clearly new the indigenous white population were lost to them, this is why labour despise the indigenous population.
labour can only ever be re electable if they denounce immigration, this clearly they won’t and if they do they lose their new client base the ‘immigrant classes’. Labours good polling in London proves the point.
As I have said before if Britain becomes colonized then yes labour could possibly be re electable but they won’t be ruling the Britain I live in, it will be a third world slum.
And maybe labour will have been shunned by then as the Muslims will no longer need labour they will have their own organizations.

My honest opinion on this thread, for what its worth,
China is a huge open market. China looks up to Britain as a great place of culture – we the UK can trade with China without the EU’s control.
The EU like Labour, is finished along with its ‘Euro’ currency!
India is the biggest democracy in the world, it looks up to the UK as the ‘mother of democracy’ it has great connection with the UK – The Commonwealth, Tata etc.
When the country voted (I voted against and I can’t find anyone who did? ) for the Common Market, it did not involve political control of this nation.
Great Britain was not ‘Great’ because of the EU.

Nigel did well on QT tonight, against all the odds. Even the audience didn’t seem to be quite so predispositioned to discount whatever he had to say (after an uncertain start). He definitely picked up more studio applause as the show went on and – unusually – he got the chance to make his points without being mobbed.
Most shocking of all was that none of the panellists and not a single member of the studio audience invoked the usual lazy ‘racist’ insults against UKIP,
Winning almost 4 million legitimate votes in the General Election seems to have focused even the minds of QT’s normally rabidly socialist militants. Things are changing and UKIP’s cleverest next move will be to capitalise on this.

As the fastest growing Political party, UKIP are expanding at the rate of 423 percent every five years. So at the current rate of increase, the vote in the next Election would create a 16,411,676 vote landslide victory for UKIP.

An interesting demonstration perhaps of how hype can be overcome by reality.
It is hardly surprising after recent coverage that any public audience would be reticent. However, if points were getting heard enough to be appreciated on merit then that is all that can be asked.

It is difficult for Nigel to do this when he’s trying to define the full UKIP manifesto at the same time as proving to the country that UKIP are not just a one-issue party.

I do believe that Dimblebore must be frightened for his job, and the BBC for its licence fees. He interrupted hardly at all. The audience was neutral; the bussed-in Marxists were absent; there was no howling-down of the Right. And – joy of joys – the two non-leftists were allowed to present their cases. I found it a totally different programme. I can’t believe that the Beeb has repented; it must be pure fear that their past is at last about to catch up with them. I trust that it will, soon and hard.

When will QT drop the celebrity fourth member of the panel? Invariably they have no clue of the reality of politics, they are predictably left-leaning, & like Brian May last night often believe in conspiracy theories. The problem is that those gullible watching would believe them, or agree with their tired dogma merely because they are famous. These people ruin the debate.

QT is a ratings mine, like any other broadcast property where the market rates of executives depend on eyeballs.
So celebrity will always have an appeal. But is a May really any less qualified than a one-trick pony like Dianne Abbott, or most of the ditzy ‘senior’ pols from any other party? Bennett?
From the sound of it he did more damage than good to whatever he was there to promote. But I agree, having a doofus punchbag like they use for the regulars on ‘8 out of 10 cats’ is a waste.
Odd that a science-trained musician with money enough to inform himself properly seems stuck in a restricted groove still.
One thing is for sure though, in such shows if the choice is between the smart and the usual suspects, when it comes to the idiot box producers will select the latter.

Entertainers really should try to avoid sticking their oar into politics. It simply alienates a chunk of their audience. I speak here as a massive fan of Queen, particularly their earlier work.
Of course, they do it for their ego, without which they probably wouldn’t have become entertainers in the first place. And one thing I’ve learned over the years about Brian May is that he has an ego the size of Jupiter.

Yes, the celebrity member is completely ridiculous, and often embarrassing, but entirely unsurprising. This is the BBC after all.
Last night we were treated to Brian May insulting the public by claiming that we are all too ill informed to vote in a referendum about Europe. I suspect that what he really meant was that we might not all have the required left wing point of view.
I was also highly amused when Jeremy Hunt had to carefully explain to him why a referendum is necessary in the case of something that might affect the constitution, but not for a ban on fox hunting.

“Today” programme interviewed Steven Woolfe MEP (his website identifying him as UKIP Frontbench Spokesman on Migration and Financial Affairs). The good news a) he supported Farage a bit more thoroughly than O’Flynn, b) Justin Webb didn’t interupt. Worse news a) “we are not a right wing party”, b) he wants the party to distance itself away from nasty comments about health tourists. It seems that the party leadership want to retrench to what it says on the tin & focus on leaving the EU & to stop talking about the effects of immigration.
This is unfortunate for me, as though I hate the EU (No in 1975), I think the UK is too economically weak to cope with withdrawal at this time (& the referendum will not support leaving) rather I hoped UKIP would be serious about non-EU immigaration
8 likes
Thanks; I had a listen, from 02:15:00 here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05tpwc1
Couple of points:
1. Woolfe is very good, but he was coming close to Tory ‘speaking out of both sides of the mouth’ here. UKIP has to be ‘less negative’ (presumably like treating foreigners with HIV), but he still says the people want a national health service, not international. That sounds like a distinction without a difference.
2. I like Raheem Kassam. There; I’ve said it. I always read his stuff on breitbart. He’s a straight talker – I thought that’s what UKIP was about? Is he to be burned at the stake because he said we shouldn’t allow people to swan in from all over the world for free health treatment? We even have a name – the Lagos Shuttle – for pregnant women flying – FLYING – in to have their child here and get it British citizenship. Can Kassam not even question this? Hello?
3. I despair when I read how you think the UK couldn’t survive political separation from Europe. I’ve always been convinced that there is no hope of winning a referendum against the forces lined up to scare the voters. Your remarks re-enforce that fear.

Thought Woolf acquited himself very well-and Webb said a few daft things but wasn`t slobbering all over his legs like that mincing mogodon mutt Humphrys.
So I got the gist of what the issues were.
Woolf-like Evans- is a good potential leader.
And I do think that UKIP would have done better had they put their “stars” into winnable seats…and might it not be true that Farage and the leadership did not WANT the likes of O Flynn elected, and so compete with Farage winning Thanet?
Why did he NOT stand in Kent I wonder?…it`s his home base and would have got Evans, Woolf and Nuttall into seats up and down the Eastern seaboard, as well as Peterborough, Boston and the like.
Well worth a private enquiry-but keep the septic BBC out-they HATE UKIP-and we remain the unforgiven.
Did enjoy though those vox pops of the BBCs around Grays in Essex before Wolfie spoke!
As ever, the BBC were asking questions that nobody on planet earth gave a damn about-not exactly what the set up for a UKIP attack was intended to show us.

The UK is too weak full stop. Leaving the EU will add to its problems both economically and security wise.

I never watch QT, but having heard that Nigel did well (as always) thought I would give it a go. As some have already remarked, he definitely won the audience round so that at least they listened whether or not convinced. Dimbleby is irritating, though, if slightly more subtly, notice how he quickly changes the conversation if it goes slightly off the BBC approved track, and also his habit of slipping in some snide remark at the end of someone’s comment without giving them the chance to respond.

The BBC is a little anxious about its future right now. Hence it’s pretending to be impartial for a week or two.
