Fiona Bruce Question Time

This. If that doesn’t convince you then maybe you are the one with the problem.
I dont think it was just his answer re LN. How he branched out onto Jews,israel, zionism was thought provoking and educational. Yet very well presented.
 
It was somewhere trite to say 'experts ' know nothing. Such comments just play to the gallery and are simply a wild accusation against people he does not know and a subject he has not researched in any depth.
 
Very sinister patters emerging from the Question Time audiences.

Apparently one 'audience' contributor from Thursday has been identified as a former UKIP candidate and it seems he was specifically invited to be in the audience.
Similar thing happened in Scotland with it emerging that the same UKIP guy had been on 4 episodes over the past few years and invited to speak each time.

I get that Question Time appear to screen the audience so that they have a range of views, but hand picking audience members and calling on them to speak just seems a bit too Orwellian for my liking.

Its not just the audience. Following Labour's complaint of the treatment Diane Abbott received I watched the show, again, on YouTube with a mind to draw comparisons between how Fiona Bruce interacted with all the panel. What let the Labour complaint down was the lengths it went to. However, I do feel that Diane Abbott got a raw deal from Fiona Bruce when you compare the interruptions and talking over from Bruce on Abbot to how she dealt with the rest of the panel.

I'm no Labour supporter or Diane Abbot. They're definitely not my cup of tea at present.

Fiona Bruce is no David Dimbleby when you consider impartiality.

I think it was Bruce [allegedly] stoking up anti Abbott feeling in the audience in the show warm up that upset many people.
 
What 'problem' would that be then? How dare someone would disagree. FFS.
I think the comment was aimed at the people who were criticising LN in the LN thread without really listening to his full statement on the matter, and then the furore after JB supported LNs comments without listening to JBs full comments.
 
When the program has been filmed in my area I've been able to spot local political 'figures' amongst the audience... Wouldn't know if they've been specifically invited or used 'influence' to get a ticket... Just assumed, therefore, it's the case everywhere...
 
Goodness me, the ERG/UKIP section of the Tory party is shortly going to inflict massive damage to the UK's wealth, health, security and social well being and QT spend about 75% of the programme with the panellists and audience ganging up on Barry Gardiner about the ills of the Labour party. Absolutely dreadful producing and editing, they have gone down the 'entertainment' route big time.

The new BBC Scotland TV channel have a QT type programme called Debate.
Anyone sick of QT should watch it, the first programme was like QT for grown ups. Hope it continues at the same standard
