Question Time


Elixir

Recommended Posts

Salmond, and moreso Nick Clegg, gave Davis a hard time for spouting a line that he obviously does not personally support.  The desire of so many politicians to hold government office even at the cost of betraying strong personal views is a sad reality that exists across the political spectrum.

IMO it is even a greater indicator of May's political ambition.  She was almost anonymous during the EU Referendum as she wanted to provide the minimum ammunition to would be detractors when she got the top job.  If you have no principles then you can't be accused of betraying them.

Someone just shared an Express article on my FB timeline stating that Salmon got his arse handed to him by Suzanne Evans on the programme - the reader's comments are full of gushing Unionist bravado and the usual SNP bad guff.

Imagine thinking your country is that shit that you get a stiffy over UKip.

... and - do these folk not understand that the Scottish elections are designed to minimise the chances of a majority government!?

The fact that the SNP require Green support for Article 30 seems to be a stick to beat the SNP with for some folk.

To be fair, most of the people commenting on these extreme pro-yoon pages are almost PhilyerBoots/GlenMinter levels of rank stupidity.

I thought Clegg was great.

It's a shame he wasn't as much of a thorn in the Tory side when he actually had a position where he could do something useful.

Seems very representative of the entire political spectrum as seen thru the eyes of the bbc......emoji38.png

That Kate Andrews character appears to be given Faragian levels of BBC promotion. She's been repeatedly on Newsnight, The Big Questions, Sunday Politics, the Daily Politics...

Also, with UKIP now having no-one in parliament, why are they continually invited on QT?

They are nothing more than cheerleaders for the Tories.

Probably because they got  over 4 million votes at the general election.

Compare that to the 1.5 million votes the SNP got then you've probably got your answer right there.

Glad to be of service !
