David Dimbleby hosts tonight from Stoke-on-Trent. The panellists are Ukip deputy leader Paul Nuttall MEP, Conservative business secretary Sajid Javid MP, writer Paris Lees, managing editor of The Sun Stig Abell and Labour no-hoper Lucy Powell MP providing some aesthetic improvement to the general look of the panel, but not much else .
Kick off tonight (Thursday) at 22.35
Chat here
Register here if necessary.
Stoke huh?…..That’s where Hope not Hates Ruth Smeeth was parachuted in, as a shoe in M.P. by the hard left unions……I shudder to think what the audience will be like…
They only seem to air the programme from Labour shit-holes now.
Funds really must be low if they can’t bus the audiences very far.
So then, what are the BBC up to? An apparently balanced panel, weird!! Their up to something them Beeboids.
OK, I think I’ve got it. The subject will be of most importance and not the make up of the panel.
Therefore Europe will be the big one here, Nuttall versus the rest. AlBeeb will be trying to protect the funds they receive from the EU whilst not revealing it to the people, they obviously do indeed ‘have a dog in the race’. It should always be seen as a massively influential corpoaration with a declared interest at the beginning of the programme but sadly never is.
So, I’ll be paying particular attention to the subject,- which will get broad agreement from the pro EU panel which will inevitably support the AlBeeb’s agenda. -As always.
Dimbleby interrupts Nuttall straight away. Dimbleby is a right Richard Head!
Bloody rude
Dumbledick was quick to move away from the EU question, first question is normally debated longer.
He said he didn’t want to hear a speech, yet immediately preceeding Nuttall’s truncated comment he had allowed an audience member to boringly do just that…
The BBC are up to something. They’ve loaded the audience with Kippers!
Kippers. Real people who speak with common sense.
First question on the EU timed at only nine minutes .
Not many Midland accents though! I put it down to our global society!!!
What should one expect from this totally biased prog-just what we mostly got & not only from the panel, but also from the audiance whose naivety on the immigration crisis was simply incomprehensible-they really do not understand the ideology of Islam with its aim to destroy Christian values & culture in Europe. Not one panelist was able to speek with any semblance of real knowledge of what is actually happening across Africa/Middle East & Indian sub continent & its resulting influence on the West. There are three elements Europe/UK has to regognise-firstly the Leftists, Labout Party, Greens, Lib Dems, SNP & Plaid Cymru, all who are international socialists, who support big government , high taxes, & mass immigration open borders, supression of speech & state control. The left have chosen Muslims as their favourite source of immigrant-they multiply rapidly-deeply hostile toward native people & culture-Muslims on the other hand tolerate the Left not because they like them but gives them financial support, welfare & handouts ref Corbyn-the more immigration the sooner the followers of the teachings of Islam can reach their goal of total dominance. Let’s not forget the very rich who are driven as we know by short-term greed. Simply a matter of supply & demand-the more people the more property will rise in value-lower wages higher profits & dividends. The smar ones will no doubt sell up at the right time & bu…..er off before the crunch.
This seems to be a very strange QT. The left are getting a bit of a bashing from 3 out of 5 plus a right of centre audience.
Can someone please organise a petition to get anti UKIP pro lefty Dumbledick sacked, moved ,changed from presenting Question Time. So biased.Incompetent. A BBC puppet.
Dumbledickhead stops Nuttall in mid flow yet again on the NHS.
Audience booed Nuttall when he mentioned the 300,000 immigrants putting a strain on the NHS.
Lefty pro immigrants and Cameron pro immigrants have been hiding.- Until now.
Paris Lees seems to have psychological problems.
The NHS is the Left’s trump card. And they play it often.
Paris Lees, self-appointed SJW and virtue signaller de jour, certainly likes to use aggressive body language – I don’t think I’ve ever seen any QT panellist doing quite so much physical laying on of hands. I wonder if anyone will be taking offence at her use of such inappropriate behaviour?
The Russell Brand School of Politics. Very touchy-feely, very stupid.
Are you sure it’s a woman????
Good question, this Paris Lees seems an agressive socialist with hopelessly naive ideas, why do we have to put up with these sort of people on Question Time (the naivety, not being a socialist – each to their own)? But as to gender I am a bit baffled, it was born a male but it now claims to be female thank to hormonal tweaking, but that surely leaves the DNA unchanged, so what is Paris Lees? I am forced use the pronoun ‘it’ because I see no alternative. Rather sad really.
FFS why is it that as far as these dikheads are concerned immigrants are always the bloody doctors and nurses, never the patients…
They can’t see the wood for the trees…
Yes that is a ridiculous risposte as the number of doctors & nurses is a miniscule fraction of all the immigrants coming in.
The Migration Observatory have just published a survey on this. If I understand the rather ambiguous tables correctly, 7% of recent migrants (defined as last 5 years) are working as ‘Health Professionals’ (this is not otherwise defined as far as I can see) . This sector represents 1.4% of total employment. Now we know from this week’s unemployment figures that total employment is about 31 million, so 7% of 1.4% is 30,000. But gross immigration over the last 5 years is about 2 million. So only about 1.5% of these immigrants have become ‘health professionals’.
So, Geoff and CranbrookPhil. You appear to be quite correct !
Yes Phil, …like all the ‘Electrical engineers’ among the boat people……..pathetic.
It also ignores the immorality of taking the brightest from these countries instead of training enough of our own doctors.
Immoral – spot on. Something very wrong when UK born doctors are emigrating and foreign doctors are immigrating. One fears getting ill.
Most of these immigrant doctors and nurses sell the Beeg Eshoo rather than the Lancet.
I should hope so! The Big Issue is less of a Left-wing rag.
Geoff….exactly, and if your’e a woman…and the doctor is muslim…you will fear being groped or raped, a very real fear at that.
Correct me if I am wrong. Was that a win for the sensible people? What the hell is going on at QT HQ?
I think its called Charter Renewal.
Renewal of a certain agreement – WRT to Corbyn and 10 years of a Consrevative government???:-)
Not sure it was a victory for normal folk. From what I heard the usual myths were allowed to be expounded as accepted fact without challenge. Particularly by the astoundingly ignorant, former criminal, ‘award winning’ columnist’, Paris Lees.
The EU was responsible for keeping the peace in Europe. There is a net financial benefit from migration. The NHS wouldn’t survive without immigration. The immigrants, all highly skilled neurosurgeons and astrophysicists, do the jobs that Britons won’t do. An influx of 600,000 new inhabitants has no affect on a country’s infrastructure. All the unidentified benefits we receive from being in Europe. It’s the nasty Tory austerity cuts that are responsible for everything. Why do we need to worry about a strong economy ? We can just spend more on the NHS, Local Government, Education, Welfare, Housing, Foreign Aid, the BBC, Quangos, Fake Charities, incompetent Local Council Cabinet Executives, etc, etc …..
As for the number of Doctors and health professionals present in a supposedly balanced audience. GPs are taking early retirement because of stress. No they aren’t. Some will I have no doubt, as they do in many lines of work. The main reason they are retiring is because they can, with salaries, pension pots, and at an age that most private sector workers can only dream of.
From what I heard the usual myths were allowed to be expounded as accepted fact without challenge.
And that is what the BBC do so well to sustain and feed the far left agenda
So, for example, ‘immigration brings a net benefit’: so where are all the spare hospital beds, surplus of doctors and nurses, choice of school places in every town and neighbourhood, eased traffic congestion as a result of building more roads, pressure taken off public transport through an expanded rail and bus network, spare energy capacity, additional reservoirs etc etc etc?
Like you say, never the sniff of a challenge.
I’ve just been watching QT on catch-up.
Stig Abel of the SUN made an interesting comment that UKIP is the only party that has a unified approach to Europe. Labour and the Conservatives are split.
Nuttall of UKIP was allowed to speak after 10 minutes into the broadcast. He was giving a very eloquent response when Dimbleby cut him short and told him not to make a speech.
Paris Lees was allowed two speeches without interruption and said how Corbyn was a nice guy who stood for peace and that we the UK have not been at war with France since the EU was formed so that’s good then.
Sajid Javid (Cons) toed the party line.
Lucy Powell (Labour) toed the party line.
Applause for Left wing comments was louder than for Right wing but the same amount of people seemed to be clapping.
I activated the ‘OFF’ switch after 17 minutes and went for a libation.
