I have an interest in politics but don't have an opinion on everything. Question Time use to be good when it was a subject where both sides had a point. The best bits were when I could say "oh, I hadn't thought about that". Nowadays on Question Time they just talk past each other. For example, it would be nice if a Leave voter could really say something that made it obvious why leaving was such a good idea. Instead they just talk to their own crowd and maybe Remain does as well. Zero enlightenment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The format has died a death, politicians reading out loud from their head office list of talking points and the token celebrity trying to come up with something left field to impress their twitter followers. Here's a suggestion, select an audience with shared problems and aspirations, say zero hour workers, and let them ask the politicians what they're going to do to help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. One's more lazy? Edited November 1, 2019 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or on the Today programme, or Sky News, or a factory floor in Stoke . . . Patronising and insulting, but sadly par for the course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Could be worth a watch this week, just for the giggles. Kirstine Hair [emoji848]No fucking way! The Conservatives obviously are very poor on vetting their attendees. I really hope she gets ripped to shreds on numerous issues, the main one being that she didn’t vote on the Brexit referendum as the issue was “too complicated” for her pretty little, born into money, farming c***s, mind to comprehend. She’s as vacuous a person as you could ever hope to meet.I’m really fucking embarrassed that she represents my constituency. Bint! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji1787]She and her lackeys doorstepped one of colleague's pals a day or two ago and was politely told to bolt. Another lackey turned up half an hour later and was less politely told to bolt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kejan Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 She doesn't look terrible, but she looks really weird. Like she should be 50 years old but is only 30 but without the haggard features. I was quite shocked when I found out her age, genuinely thought she was 55. Political insight for the day for you all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
