sparky88 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I stopped watching after about 20 minutes as it was so obviously biased against the SNP that it was almost laughable. BBC stooges in the audience to ask the questions the BBC want asked. Anyone who still believes the BBC were impartial during the referendum campaign/are impartial now really should be kept away from all sharp objectsBrother, everything is biased against the SNP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fide Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Brother, everything is biased against the SNP. If you genuinely think QT last night was fair and balanced, you're beyond both help and parody. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The very fact that some of the "Better Together" campaigners are now vociferously whining about shocking bias and political interventions aimed at skewing the result of the upcoming EU referendum suggests that they were aware of the same thing (albeit in their favour) happening during the Scottish referendum campaign. They suddenly cry foul over things in which they were engaged only a couple of years ago. Their complaints are virtually identical to those made by the "Yes Scotland" side, which they then scornfully - if disingenuously - dismissed. Absolutely, some of the comments from gove and Duncan Smith have been hilarious, it's either a total lack of self awareness or they know a supine media will never pick them up on it. And these are not stupid people, mendacious lying shitebags but not stupid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know when/where to fast forward tae the guid bits Willie?

Ad Lib Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 A swing and a miss only in your head, sunshine. It's not conspiracy when the facts are laid out in front of you in glorious HD. Do you truly believe that QT last night was representative of the people of Dundee? The audience isn't supposed to be representative of the people of Dundee. The reason they weren't all people who pronounce pie as peh was a really obvious one: Dundee is an hour's drive from almost every major population centre in Scotland so political enthusiasts would almost all apply to be on QT if it was held there. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 They're not. Since when were Question Time audiences supposed to be demographically representative of the specific town they were in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 You only need to look at the panel to see how balanced the debate would be. Balanced with respect to...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Willie Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 How do you know when/where to fast forward tae the guid bits Willie? I must have missed em all last night and I watched the whole thing!?

No, the point of having it in different places is: 1. So that David Dimbleby can have a nice meal out afterwards with the panelists at a different restaurant every time (I know one of his senior staff) 2. To introduce variety to the views and questions asked Variety is not the same as balance or representatives. Otherwise last night's panel would have had eight extra Nats, 3 extra Labourites and 2 extra Tories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtgilphead Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 You're not driving illegally enough. So, as well as lying, you appear to advocate breaking the law. It's clear to see why you're a Lib Dem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
