Fiona Bruce Question Time

[Hacker Khan]

When you say "good authority", do you mean that you heard it through the aerial on top of your tin foil helmet?

No stupid, everyone knows BBC news policy gets decided in a weekly meeting attended only by The Guardian Opinion Editorial writers, Shami Chakrabarti and the ghost of Fidel Castro. Someone must have leaked the minutes from the latest meeting so seems completely legit to me.

Crikey, it's that all youve got?

Re BBC - a) just watch the trend over the next few weeks. They have their Charter to protect. They got a decent nudge about this from the DCMS before Xmas...

And b) Does anyone actually still think we are leaving the EU?

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Have it on good very authority that BBC have softened stance on Brexit now that they know it has been stopped.... watch and see!

'Very good authority', 'top airline executive' are you the BBC's Nick Eardley by any chance.

 

[bluewolf]

Crikey, is that all you've got?

What more do I need to make a lighthearted joke with the Forum EU Conspiracy Theorist? Is there some sort of qualification I need?

Apologies for any over reaction on my part that might have been aimed at the post after yours! (no offence intended to either of you)

I quite like that title... can I get a hat printed! But I expect to have been proved right by the time of the summer meets!

No offence taken at all mate.. If you are going to get a hat made, I expect it to be made of tin foil and have an aerial though

And it wouldn't surprise me if you were right. My own personal theory is that the BBC actively supports the Government of the day. I suspect they've been told that the license fee will be up for review if they don't..

lets just say on my last visit 6 months ago, I saw many more copies of the Guardian than the Torygraph!

Now let me try to understand this. He has to put tin foil on his helmet and then use an ariel.

And put a pair of straws up his nostrils!

Btw that's probably why there are special considerations re electrical appliances in bathrooms!

Well how would he receive transmissions from our alien overlords if he didn't have an aerial? Duh..... 😉

Having now watched several of her outings in the chair... I feel Ms Bruce needs to read up on what the requirements of chairing a discussion are... As she seems to have taken on the mantle of being chief interrogator...

But on his helmet, really! :-o

Trouble is people complain if she does not hold people to account for their claims. Then when she does she is an interrogator. Damned if you do.....

I would certainly be avoiding sitting in the chair to her immediate left... As that appears to be the 'guest' she selects most for additional interrogation...

Which summer?

Watched QT last night, thought the ex Crystal palace chairman spoke very well indeed. From a business point of view and from a Joe public view as well. But once more I spent the night shaking my head at some of the comments from the political panellists. It is like they are still oblivious to what is going off in this country. It seems by the comments that Labour will get a kicking in the EU elections, but the Tories will as well so that's ok. Both parties dismissive of Brexit party coz in essence, UKIP are now irrespective when they were the popular vote so the Brexit party will be. So the main parties can carry on as per normal.
Quote of the night for me was the woman who said she voted remain. She also said she knew what she was voting for. But she voted for Brexit yesterday as it now about democracy, not remain or leave.
Quite frankly though the show once more wound me up to the extent I went to bed with my flippin head spinning, never slept a wink thinking about the arogant planks running or trying to run this country.

Being a charlto n supporter i always thought Jordan was a knob, but listening to him on radio and seeing him last night I think he is excellent.
He certainly have the so called economic a lady a lesson or 2.

A very sensible voter!
I was torn between that option and spoiling my paper.

Fear not. They (politicians) don't - and never really have - run the country, except in times of dire crisis such as wartime. They, at least some of them, may set policy, but it's the Civil Service that actually runs the country!

I fear that last sentance will not suffice for me to sleep like a baby tonight. ☹️
