40 minutes in and I haven't heard one Welsh accent in the audience so far. Are these people all shipped in from Oxford?

Wrexham is just over the border from Cheshire & their accent is nothing like Ruth Madoc's in Hi-de-Hi.....

Immensely dull QT this week.
Needs Starky. That cantankerous old tit always livens things up. I'd have him on every week.

The young Nigella Lawson look-a-like is nauseating.
The BBC predictably staying clear of other current news topics. Will be interesting to see how long they can keep it up.

Appreciate the geography lesson, that explains why, in the first half of the show a lot of them sounded as though they were from the Home Counties with no hint of Scouse I guess.
If anyone wants to see the contempt Labour hold the South East in then watch the bit where Hain suggests fracking should be limited to West Sussex #Tw@t

They're on very good terms with the folk in Chester, I hear...

Worst QT for a long while. I'm fed up with the Welsh banging on like they're special, I think Sussex is special but I don't go on about it all the fvckin' time.

Not old Stuffy! He's the living embodiment of pompous, bless him.

I think you'll find Hain was using it as an analogy in that fracking would never take place in a safe Tory seat where votes could be lost.
Yep, that got right on my tits. I was admiring his honesty until that point and then he kindly reminded me why voting Labour would be a really bad idea.

The Telegraph blogger, Maltby, how dire was she! Couldn't appear to string a cohesive sentence together and some very odd views. If women want to smoke and damage their unborn child then that's up to them! Not sure she really thought that through as, of course, it's the rest of society that will have to pick up the bill for the baby's health and possibly educational challenges. However, it didn't sink as low as the ridiculous comments from the alleged student of psychology who compared the scheme to give smoking mothers shopping vouchers to selling your child!

Exactly. He's such an insufferable ARSE every time he's on, I find him hilarious.
Which shows him up even more if that is the case given one of the biggest test drillings and associated demos was in ...... West Sussex.
Exactly. It was a cheap political point to curry favour with a Welsh audience at the expense of the mean nasty south east of England with all their money and stuff.

Nicely mis-quoted!
Agreed, and it makes you wonder given the studio audience was all of 200 when the viewing audience around the whole of the UK, including viewers from West Sussex, was multiples of that. Why play to the smallest audience ?
Yes, possibly a slight mis-quote - more like 'we don't want fracking in anywhere near Wrexham but it's OK if it's somewhere like West Sussex'.
