Question Time Wrexham

[glasfryn]

probably because the Welsh consider it an English programme.
nothing wrong with the Welsh NHS treated us very well archaic but treatment was great
the accent up there is more likely to be scouse than Welsh anyway

Used to really enjoy QT but am now bored with the programme panels and audiences they now seem to attract.

No proper debate just point scoring or moronic non politician "entertainment celebrities" who know f all.

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'.

It's not a slight mis-quote though because it totally distorts the thrust of the comment which was along the lines of the Tories are very good at getting things like this done so long as it isn't in their back yard or in their voter heartland! If they are for fracking in Wrexham then they should be equally in favour of it in Balcombe.

In which case the his point was entirely wrong. Current proposed fracking sites and the party the local MP belongs to :

Ellesmere Port - Labour
Broadford Bridge -Conservative
Crawberry Hill - Conservative
Falkirk - Labour
Balcombe - Conservative
Upton - Conservative
Wrexham - Labour
Dudleston - Conservative
Preston - Labour
Roseacre - Labour
Kirby - Conservative

You're being totally owned. I'd quit now if I was you. He was acting like a total f**king nob with his comments, it's that simple.

I only flicked on for a minute or two to hear one lady trying to talk about something which he clearly knew nothing about, agree with each person the the panel in turn and then ended up by saying 'I agree with all of them, but they are all as bad as each other' Needless to say Dimbleby totally owned her at that point and moved on. I decided to switch channel at that point.

Immensely dull QT this week.

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

Starky is tremendous value. I love him

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

The accent in North Wales is different to that in the south which we are more familiar with as the less parochial of us will be aware.

 

[Easy 10]

Me and my dad usually have a sweepstake on at what point in the show he will mention the fact that he is gay. Disappointingly he didn't mention it at all the other week, which I think was a first.

Seriously Uncle? Of the two of them I always preferred Paul Michael Glaser myself.

Great joke, genuinely tickled me, but Paul Michael glazer was star sky, David soul was hutch.

I know I can be a pedantic prick !

You can also play a David Starkey drinking game. One rule being a mouthful of said drink when he mentions he's gay as though that gives him authority...

He was Starsky: David Soul was Hutch (kicks himself for knowing this)

PMG WAS Starsky

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

No. I think the point that he was trying to make is that the Tories aren't keen on fracking their seats. Nothing to do with hating the South East. I'm not entriely sure he's right to be fair.

This Labour Party hates the North, Wales and Scotland just as much if not more than the Conservative Party these days.

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!

Evidence of how downhill the Telegraph has gone recently. They've sacked most of their decent writers in favour of online content generators like the girl last night. I had genuinely no idea where she was coming from, wishy washy and instantly forgetable. The paper has lost 150,000 readers in three years. That's just over 20% of the readership.

It was a terrible episode - Galloway on next week though.

Which is normally in the first 5 minutes. He actually held off a lot longer when he was on a couple of weeks ago. He did call Medhi Hassan 'Ahmed' and tried to argue a teacher could be 'groomed' by their 16 year old pupil though. He was good value on the outrage scale.
