[Kizzy]

I still don't see why Swinson gets to be part of the debate, of her 20mps 5 are tories and 3 labour! They should all have been up for reselelection immediately, their costituents did not vote lib dem!

I record it BBC1HD
and Fast Forward her.............................

[Kizzy]

She's after a bit of power so her job it to take votes from labour in preparation for coalition #2. It'll be a pincer movement on Corbyn as she has no policies of her own that she doesn't ditch at the drop of a hat depending on popularity with the public.

If she took any notice of important indicators like 'popularity with the public' she'd crawl away back into the hole from which emerged! The only good thing about her appearing is she obviously hasn't noticed that the more people see her the more disliked she is! Dreadful bint has got a bigger ego than Thatcher!

:yuk:

[Twosugars]

How come she even won? Wasnt Davey better?

[Grim Reaper]

How come she even won? Wasnt Davey better?

God knows and yes in that order!

[Grim Reaper]

And as for Sturgeon well I'm with old Longshanks on this one.." the worse thing about Scotland is that it's full of Nicola Sturgeons"!

[Twosugars]

I like Nicola :)

So which way you're leaning Grim?

[arista]

How come she even won? Wasnt Davey better?


Yes he was more Qualified
but they had to have a female ONLY

No Kizzy
SNP is more able to join with Labour
if they are short in numbers.

[Twosugars]

They will rue the day they elected her.
Vacuous, vain and vicious

[Grim Reaper]

I like Nicola :)

So which way you're leaning Grim?

Well I'm not sure I want to say where my inclinations lie mostly because we've been getting on so well Twosugars and I wouldn't like politics to come between us! :hee: In actual fact it doesn't really matter because I haven't got a vote! Being a supernatural entity means I don't actually exist on this plane and am therefore not on Electoral Role! :shrug: However I do find myself getting irate whenever Sturgeon gets involved!

Well we can only hope... That would be ok with me. Anything to keep the Tories out.

[arista]

So First in Sheffield
7PM Live (30mins each)
is Jeremy Corbyn.

Then 2nd
SNP


Then 3rd
LibDem



Last is PM Johnson.

[The Slim Reaper]

Allowing Johnson to go last so he can lie unchallenged about everyone that precedes him is completely on brand for the current beeb.

But each MP gets 30 mins with a Live and
"Possibly Angry" Audience


Fiona Bruce

I would vote for her to run the UK...I wish someone would ask her.

Swinson got some strap on her bra

[Kizzy]

The audience ...and I'm not just saying this were quite hostile to Corbyn there were only one or two who were sympathetic to his vision.
Not interested in nicola or delores umbridge...I'll wait till they send in the clown.

[Beso]

Swinson clapped someone who told her the libs are a right wing party...omg..that was cringey.

Seals clap... that means nothing. The questions were accusatory, negative and in the main hostile.
There was one really positive guy at the end and he was totally ignored!

Nicola is the only true leader on top of her brief

[Beso]

Well done the host..fantastic..I was perched for an ankle chuck out...but in the end relieved it didn't happen.

Blame the Scots.

Blame the Scots.

I'm glad he's being more direct in his responses now, it's clear for all. Neutral on brexit, against a 2nd Scottish ref for at least 2yrs.

What's bojo going to rant about now?..He might actually have to comment on his own omnishambles of a party.
( do you remember that word being a thing?)

I concentrated on him saying he has been in power for 180 odd days..all consumed by brexit, yet has made progress on other things...I get him...this student loan question as well..what Boris is saying us that he can provide high paying jobs for the qualified students..I've seen this in practice in london. .it works..


Give him a chance us what I say, cause the rest are unproven.

[Black Dagger]

I'm embarrassed for Johnson.

Swinson was just a joke lmao

[Crimson Dynamo]

Swinson was exposed badly as a total flip flopper. And her shoes, nail polish and dress all did not match

[Beso]

As usual though, sturgeon was the stand out.

[Kizzy]

I take it all back... thought the audience were rent a mob but they kicked bojos arse! :)

[Crimson Dynamo]

Well one rude guy rather spoiled it by being a total dick

[michael21]

Took the 22 Nov date

Nice old grandpa... what a load of crap, he was nothing of the sort.

[Nicky91]

a ''nice old grandpa'' which is just pathetic how low they sink to bring down the opposition :laugh3:


as if loudmouth bigot conservatives or a wacky deluded corrupt idiot of brexit party are good choices


i do think Corbyn would make a good prime minister, at least someone who takes that function seriously


and this coming from a outsider to british politics, i mean my point is i see everything, and all i saw was all these years of conservative mess ups, chaos

[jet]

Thanks to New Labour under Blair....and thanks to the SDLP's John Hume and the UU's David Trimble, who both won the Nobel Peace Peace. Corbyn had nothing whatsoever to do with it, quite the opposite, so I dont get your point.

Yes, she is close to ideologically to Corbyn. They are both anti - British, IRA supporters.

Abbott, who will become home secretary if Labour wins the election, said in the 1984 interview that Ireland “is our struggle — every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us. A defeat in Northern Ireland would be a defeat indeed.”
The interview was found during research by The Sunday Times in Irish and republican archives

Hate to break it to you, but many people in the UK think NI should be united with ROI.
Dianne is not alone in this and it's certainly is not anti British. Britain occupied Ireland and the Irish have the right to self-determination.

Having said that it would require a referendum in the NI.

You aren't breaking anything to me dear, I've lived in N.Ireland all my life. Yes, they do have a right, through democratic consent of the majority which will likely happen in the next 5 - 10 years. I have no problem with democracy, its murder I have a problem with.
You agree with Dianne and Corbyn then that the IRA had a right to murder thousands of men, woman and children to acheive their aims rather than by peaceful political means? Okay.
FYI the ROI repeatedly said they couldnt afford us and were quite happy with the staus quo.
You are really ignorant on this subject.

There is nothing to argue. You either support the terrorism of murdering thousands of innocents or you don't. Maybe if you lived in the midst of the carnage for over 30 years you would get it. Seems like that is what it would take for some people to open their eyes unfortunately, their excuses for the IRA's actions and for Corbyns/Abbotts support are ignorant and sickening.

I dont support terrorism.
But it wasnt one sided was it. Plus Britain is responsible for oppression of the Irish for centuries.
We see around the world and through history that terrorists for some are freedom fighters for others.
We see former terrorists turning into later statemen.
That's how the world often works.

[Grim Reaper]

It seems to me that the best way to sort the shizer that we're all in and that we are all currently being fed by all sides, is by the judicious use of 36 barrels of gunpowder! Would be a dreadful shame to wreck the buildings though!

British oppression ended centuries ago, we weren't living under some sort of murderous dictatorship you know. Sure, there were problems but being part of the UK served N. Ireland well. If they really had to murder, (and I don't condone ANY murder) then target the security forces who chose to put themselves in positions of danger.
There was NO excuse for 30 years of blowing up innocent men, woman and children going about their daily lives in shops, restaurants, pubs, bus stations, fun runs, etc. NONE.

read this Wikipedia article who they are, and no they aren't just murderous psychopaths


''the Real IRA sees itself as the only rightful successor to the original Irish Republican Army and styles itself as simply "the Irish Republican Army"


they are freedom fighters, but where politicians use words for independence, they are more radical with physical violence (bombs and guns)

Question Time four-way leaders’ debate gets peak audience of 4.6m


More than 4 million people watched a BBC Question Time audience grill political leaders on their general election policies, a slump in the number of viewers who saw Boris Johnson’s head-to-head debate with Jeremy Corbyn earlier this week.

A peak audience of 4.6 million watched Johnson, Corbyn, Jo Swinson and Nicola Sturgeon battle a barrage of hostile questioning from an audience in Sheffield during the two-hour programme on Friday evening.

The average number of viewers throughout the show was 4.23 million, representing a significant drop from the 6.7 million who switched on for ITV’s leaders’ debate on Tuesday, in which Johnson and Corbyn faced each other. However, the figures are higher than Question Time’s normal audience of about 2-2.5 million.

The special Question Time episode also drew nearly double that figure, and significantly more than the 2.4 million average audience of the popular Graham Norton chat show was aired later in the evening.

Fiona Bruce chaired a bruising night of live questioning from audience members on Friday, during which Corbyn revealed he would take a “neutral stance” should there be a future Brexit referendum if Labour wins the election. The Labour leader was also confronted with questions about his party’s record on antisemitism and nationalisation plans.

Johnson was wounded after questioning on his trustworthiness, and was also accused of fomenting racism with the inflammatory language he used in his newspaper columns, including one in which he described Muslim women wearing burqas as looking like “letter boxes”.

The Liberal Democrat leader Swinson faced a torrid time as she was questioned about her voting record in the coalition government, as well as her party’s pledge to revoke Brexit.

Meanwhile, the Scottish National party leader and Scottish first minister Sturgeon confirmed she could support a Corbyn government in exchange for an independence referendum.

A BBC spokeswoman said: “We’re delighted 4.2 million (with a peak of 4.6 million) people tuned into the Question Time Leaders’ Debate Special on Friday night. It is the first in a series of programmes which will culminate in a head-to-head debate between Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson in December.

“We think it was a quality programme which put the audience in charge and will have proved genuinely informative for our viewers.”
