Perhaps the Tory pressure on the BBC is having an effect. Discounting Dimbleby, this will be one of the very rare QT’s where there is more of right of center panel than left.
No doubt the BBC will ensure there are enough left wingers in the audience to diminish the effect as much as possible.
It’s that famous BBC balance at work.
Shame about the other 51 weeks of the year.
After watching it I’ve revised my opinion of Odone, and Hancock the Tory is aptly named.
4 to 1 – the usual BBC ‘balance’.
closer to the edge on itv4 why torture yourself with qt
Bloody hell, this is frightening, some of those crashes are horrendous, they are crazy!!
Seems that tonight’s audience has been expressly selected to only applaud Chris (look at me in my pants) Bryant. Nobody else on panel getting applause.
No chat tonight? Just got in as some genius has decided to shut the road between Wrexham & Chester. SNP woman is f***ing scary.
She is the new darling of the bbc, she appeared on sneering nicky campbells CBBC show on Sunday mornings, the ‘BIG’ Questions…possibly the most puerile programme on TV.
She loves the sound of her own voice, she spouts cliches for fun, she doesn’t like to be interrupted yet is happy to interrupt others..she makes sturgeon look like a cuddly toy. Absolute horrible c***.
And she wants 16 and 17 year olds to get a vote on the EU referendum. I bet she would go as low as 7 year olds if that option was possible.
well that is 7 years after she was allowed to get married
and yeah she is an orrible gobshite
Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh and Chris Bryant are having an argument with each other even though they both agree with each other!
That takes nothing less than the village idiot approach to debating.
@Dave666 – A mad harpie for sure.
Lammy’s on This Week. Might be a laugh.
2 black people telling us we have to take in more immigrants. Just saying.
How about a human rights representative – who doesn’t have to live with the consequences of mass immigration – demanding more compassion and support from European nations towards immigrants.
Irony and ignorance come to mind.
shocker portillo talks sense
THIS WEEK Andrew Neil – EU Libyan Boat Crisis
Lammy and that Black Lady Reverend being interviewed by Andrew – – they certainly full of right platitudes but absolutely not one solutions between them other than let them all in, but will not give numbers to how many we should take! Pathetic and typical Labour type replies that mean absolutely nothing.
What a total mess the EU has got itself into with this unlimited supply of Libyan boat people. Half a million on the shores of Libya now and they say another million ready to move across the Sahara.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33100264
The likes of Italy Greece, Malta, France, Sweden, Germany and many others are now being overwhelmed with this mass exodus via Libya. The EU Commission are asking member states to take many tens of thousands of immigrants each to disperse the problem, (UK has an opt out).
When I personally drill right down into my emotions, I conclude that I must not be tempted to blame the migrant or refugee whatsoever, which I have noticed is becoming a common practice nowadays in media blogs throughout Europe. What I say is but for the grace of God go I!
Had I the misfortune to live in some failed state in Africa, or facing war in Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan and seeing an escape route to Northern Europe, I would surely do exactly the same as those Libyan boat people to improve my kith and kin life chances.
In my view, the blame is definitely being laid in the wrong place if we take that easy route criticising the migrants’.
The EU is solely to blame for this mass migration by sending out the wrong signals on ease of EU entry and not having a common sense immigration and asylum policy. The EU should be using its Foreign Aid budget to finding a solution in the home countries of the migrants or speedy repatriation of the economic migrants as a first step.
Maybe the EU could negotiate with some African country to be a refugee, asylum staging post, where Libyan boat people for example could be transported utilising the EU Foreign Aid budget to pay for the camps and compensate the accepting African Nation.
Whatever happens, no doubt electoral pressures by the migrant recipient states will be making their votes count in next round of EU elections for sure, just like we haves done through the ballot box with UKIP. For sure Eastern Europeans for example would certainly not be capable, or ideologically approve, of such mass migration of coloured people since they are plagued with prejudice. I actually saw it with my own eyes many times having lived in Poland many years and traveled in most other Eastern European countries.
There is of course a big obstacle to any common sense solutions being implemented by the unelected EU Commission and autocrats. Ideologically they see absolutely no problem to mass import of immigrants!
The big obstacle to any common sense solutions being implemented by the EU, is a general lack of common sense. You have some very good ideas there. Sensible ideas. But we will never see any of them put into practice, partly because of left wing ideals, and partly because those placed in positions of authority must first undergo an operation to remove all traces of common sense.
After reading about the kids in Malaysia stripping off and urinating on the ‘holy’ mountain causing an earthquake, why on earth did we bother with military invasions of Iraq & Afghanistan when all that was needed to to piss on their ‘holy’ sites and these countries would be destroyed by natural causes?
i am sorry to say this because i voted for ukip,douglas carswell is coming across as a limp wristed liberal every time he opens his mouth just lately on question time,he seems out of place with ukip,cant see him lasting much longer as a ukipkipper,could always join the liberals and be there new leader if he jumps ship again.
Yes he is quite normal with a grasp of reality. Completely unsuited to ukip.
