Questiontime

[Jairzinho]

Mong of the week in the audience. 

 

Every fucking week some spacker says the economics of one human is the same as a country. Every fucking week.

[Jairzinho]

He's such a little cunt, Dimbleby.

 

"Oh, look what a charming little man I am"

 

Cackling little gerbil head.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Is Ken Clarke's top button not done up properly there?

 

Sack him!

[Jairzinho]

Ha, fair play to Ken to the UKIP cunt, "Do you have a shadow cabinet?"

[Hooch]

Jairz you've smashed this tonight.

 

What, am I the only one on here who imagines forumites actually being the people in their avatars?

[Red Phoenix]

Every time Clarke speaks, it's like he's trying to run the show's time down as much as possible. No wonder Bilderbergers need several days to meet if twats like him are rambling on.

Get to bed you senile old yellow bastard.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Well said, that man in the hat.

[Jairzinho]

Well said, that man in the hat.

 

Fucking send him back.

[Jairzinho]

Just answer the question, you ridiculous Tory trollop.

[cloggypop]

Yanis is a fucking dude.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Royce Gracie playing a blinder.

[Red Phoenix]

Good to see Yanis speaking, but fairly maddening watching that. Dimblebot mentioned that he couldn't gag Clarke either as he was rambling, he could've at least tried though.

[joeyk]

I find Julia Hartley-Brewer strangely bummable. Massive cans.

 

Proper toff though.

 

I like Yannis already though.

Very bummable...

It's a really fucking shit format that essentially prevents any meaningful debate, or even decent single answers (such is the utter stupidity of most of the audience's questions). Deliberately so, probably. 

 

It doesn't help that on tonight's show, for example, only one of the panellists knows anything about Economics. So there is one fairly fucking enormous topic that can't be discussed.

 

Didn't see the point of Ken being on the program with Julia representing the Tory party. Although he was admittedly excellent at time wasting.

[cloggypop]

Pauline Black is boss.

[joeyk]

Very bummable...

She talks some shit though.

Have been thinking the same thing since Galloway got a ton of shit thrown at him about Israel/anti-Semitism a while back. It seems like it's almost designed to move on from anything other than basically the media narrative, with a few other views thrown in here and there, until someone distracts again.

 

I actually thought Yanis mentioned something about not invading countries in the first place, but it was as someone from the crowd was speaking/about to start, so it didn't really go anywhere. I think he's right with the class war comment though, absolutely, and good that he at least got that in.

That Galloway episode was a complete stitch up. They invited him on to the show in the place with the biggest Jewish community in Britain, then allowed those 3/4 teenage bellends in the audience to essentially spend the entire show shouting abuse at him. 

 

Be interesting to see Charlotte Church on next week. She's significantly more clued up that I had imagined. 

 

To be effective on the show you basically have to think of three or four hard hitting statements and then just shoe horn them in to slightly relevant questions.

 

Could really do with a decent alternative to this program. Would probably need crowd funding though and, initially anyway, just being on the net.

Bumblebee announced her as 'The 'left-wing' singer Charlotte Church'. The fascist bastard!

Yeah it was a fucking joke the Galloway one, how they thought that was acceptable I have no idea. Charlotte Church will probably be good on there too, she seems to speak her mind and won't accept a load of bullshit like many others would do.

He should be the contents of a pritt stick.

[Mook]

Charlotte Church is on next week?

 

Count me in.

[Gnasher]

Not getting the criticism of question time. I for one learnt something very worthwhile from that programme, its if I'm a bit skint and normally buy 3 beers if i cut down to 2 beers i will be less stint and all my problems will go away.. Now if we just apply that mantra to the whole British economy the country will be less skint, its apparently that simple, it must be because two people on the panel nodded in agreement.

 

Well done the idiot in audience for his enlightened wisdom and well done the BBC for making us all look a bunch of brain dead mongs in front of the Greek fella.

That message from Thatcher really did get into the general consciousness didn't it? That household finances are comparable to the macro economics of the world’s 5th largest economy, I can certainly remember times where I deployed quantitative easing when I required extra funds to buy a frozen pizza.

 

 

 

It's indicative of the standard of education around economics and allowed the narrative of 'Labour spent all da money on public spending' to emerge combined with Liam Byrne's stupid fucking note. Instead of the reality which was the banks being bailed out to a huge extent by the taxpayer, which enabled the economy to continue functioning and not completely collapse.

 

 

 

Sometimes I wonder whether it’s even worth bothering to try and reach people via education or whether the left should just hit the public with non-stop moronic but catchy slogans like the right do, real lowest common denominator shite; They're all Tax avoiders, They hate the NHS, They want to shut your kids school, They fornicate with decapitated farmyard animals etc.
