[Misc] Question Time 17/09/15: Official Match Thread

[Bozza]

Toksvig talking about not knowing who the non-voters will vote for when they vote next time.

1. If they vote. It's a big if.
2. Labour won in 2001 with 59.4% and 2005 with 61.4%. Then some non-voters came out: 2010 - 65.4% (Tory/Lib-Dem); 2015 - 66.1% (Tory)

Pathetic crocodile teas from McDonnell

whats upset him? someone mention the Soviet union collapsed? (no wait, they'd be very real tears)

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

What a shower. Who nicked the skull off Salmond's pirate badge?

 

[Bozza]

Who's the one who is a sure fire double of Mrs Doubtfire

Steve Bruce.

 

[Beach Hut]

McDonnell really is spouting shite as for big ears he is like a seriously annoying head boy

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Politics has got interesting. I am not sure Noddy's mate is doing his cause much good.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Who'd ba a poliician. If I had to account fr every utterance made down the pub (or in Westminster, or on telly) over the last 30 years, I'd be finished.

30 minutes on occasions.

That was a good question by the lady in salmon.

Has Alex just eaten her?

 

[Bry Nylon]

Corbyn was advised by people in his own team and those outside not to appoint McDonnell as Shadow Chancellor. Looks like good advice; he has too much baggage. He will never be able to present his own economic agenda or critique Conservative policy as he is continually going to have to justify his past.

 

[Husty]

The torygraph journalist is a and McDonnell is a terrible speaker.

Not if the new politics includes not having to justify your past. Explaining why he used to be a liberal never harmed the conservative, Winston Churchill. The road to Damascus does have a legitimate diversion.

 

[HCxUK]

Pretty awful all round. McDonnell doing nothing to show that he would be an effective chancellor, speaks with no authority and seems a touch idealistic.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Interesting to hear people rather than just the media preconceptions. I think you may be right Bry, but he is not coming over as wierd as anticipated. Appointing him looks a mistake though. Loyalty I suppose.

Thing is politicians cant say parliament and politicians need to be MORE accountable then suddenly become miffed when its put into practice and they get asked difficult questions.

 

[pastafarian]

never thought i would hear the "Jesus Christ was a refugee" card played on question time

 

[Beach Hut]

Lovely from Salmond, would he open the door and allow half a million immigrants into Scotland ?

 

[Bry Nylon]

Agree. Looking at this panel, anybody holding the position of (Shadow) Chancellor of Her Majesty's Opposition should be bossing this show without breaking sweat.

Why is it a card ? What does that mean ?
