I forgot to watch QT and just switched on when someone was talking about immigration. He had been here since he was 11 or something, was that him?
Bizarrely, I also forgot to watch TW and just switched on to see some Irish fella talking about terrorism, I think. Who was he?
Both programmes are excellent, I think. I must remember to watch them.

Apparently saying "I can apologise" is the same as apologising.
Kwame Kwei-Armah pissed me off with his "There are billions of people starving and that is more important than fox hunting" response. I'm sorry mate but you're there to answer the questions asked and debate the issues raised so get off the moral high ground or fuck off to the World Hunger Debate. By his standards the entire concept of political discussion is a waste of time until everyone gets a bite to eat.

Not sure why Charlie Kennedy was allowed on television last night or who to blame, the BBC or the Lib Dems. Have the Lib Dems given up on the election or merely given up on Question Time?
― Walking Close to Melton Mowbray (Tom D.), Friday, 13 March 2015 10:44 (nine years ago) link
Yes, heard a bit of QT on the radio last night (its now broadcast simultaneously on Radio 5) and Kennedy's slurred speech leapt out. Wondered if he had possibly suffered a stroke or similar - he seems to have been away from our screen for a while - but intoxication prob the more likely explanation.

I caught about 15 mins of this, there did seem to be something wrong with him...on whether there would be a coalition between SNP-Labour he:
1) called out everyone was talking a lot of claptrap for the last five mins on the question2) asked Dimbleby to repeat the question 3) was adamant there would be no coalition - which was actually agreeing with the Labour answer4) did not give much of a reason why he was so sure - amazing that some form of coalition is the likely outcome, given the polls and that we have just endured one for the last five years.

Have the Lib Dems given up on the election or merely given up on Question Time?
The forecast is that they'll get about 20 seats?! A Labour - SNP - Libdem coalition could be an outcome?
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 13 March 2015 10:59 (nine years ago) link
everyone was talking a lot of claptrap for the last five mins on the question
Which puzzled me, because for that previous five mins maybe more, nobody had managed to say anything grand that got the audience to burst into applause at all.

Tim ’Wetherspoons’ Martin and yet another member of the Spiked extended universe on the show this week.
Beatrix Von Storch of AFD on Newsnight yesterday. It’s a shame Tommy Robinson is otherwise occupied as he’d have his own mid-morning show at this rate.

I wonder what proportion is that and what proportion is Good Liberals imagining the public is vastly more right wing than them and giving the audience what they think they want.
Even so, when you have actual Tory politicians and Brexit campaigners on the show, idk what the imagined audience for contrarian fash/ libertarians would be.
