Fiona Bruce Question Time

[Rlburnside]

I did see the whole show, everyone single person on that show, including Bruce, embarrassed themselves.
Remember Thornberry said “She” would vote against leaving, not the Labour Party.
We criticise MP’s for being dishonest and then for being honest, which way do you want it?
Is it any different to what the tory party actually carried out, how many of them supported May then voted against her?

Think your being harsh on Iain Dale, I thought he was the only one to come out with any credit he tried to debate in a reasonable manner and never resorted petty name calling, Fiona Bruce never gave him enough time to speak.

I’d agree to a point he was doing better than the others until he joined in on interrupting the SNP Guy when the tory was interrupting him to prove a point, it all got very childish and Bruce lost control.

Surely it’s no more sense than the tory party electing a leader that campaigned to remain then trusted her to negotiate the best deal to leave and then blamed everyone else when she failed.
Thornberry only talked rubbish, May actually produced it.

What is it you bleat on about deflection? Someone mentions the Tories, and some people respond by having a go at Corbyn... You're close to doing the same thing here Paul.

Iain does a good on the LBC evening slot - gets good guests and tries to give a fair but critical hearing to both sides of the Brexit debate - though I disagree with him on many aspects of Brexit.

 

[Hobbit]

Again, no Labour aren’t, the opposition are, Labour are just one of them.

Not sure why you’re bringing the EU into it, I voted to Leave, but if the money wasted by TM on contracts to leave the EU last year had been put to dealing with the NHS or Child Poverty etc, we wouldn’t be as badly off.

Oh please! £5m on a dodgy contract. Absolutely wrong but in the great scheme of now £1bn a month.

There's a 'ell of a lot wrong with the UK in terms of weather distribution but £5m lost, or almost lost, to a dodgy contract is a drop in the ocean.

I’d disagree, my post was in direct response to Chris admitting he hadn’t watched the programme just the clip posted, further on in the programme she tried to explain (without success) what she meant. I also stated no one on the programme came out with any credit.

Lot more than £5m Bri.

But even it had been “just” 5mil, that’s a hell of lot of food for kids imo.

Just finished watching this. Fiona Bruce is out of her depth, that is for certain. Labour have more clowns in their party than all the circus's in the world. Thornberry? Good god. What a shocker she is. SNP Ian, spouts the same thing, and is very boring now and should not be on any debate about this. We KNOW WHAT THEY WANT!!!! The Lib Dems had another nutter on and made their party look stupid.

Who won? THE CONSERVATIVES !!!!! By a country mile.

Not sure anyone won ,
It just shows the lack of good debaters we have if this is supposed to represent the three main parties.
Thought the journo came out ok but Fiona lacks the control of past chairs.

And the NHS cost £10bn a day. Its semantics. We can all choose an analogy to support our argument. The dodgy Ramsgate contract was IIRC £5m, which kicked off the whole who gets what contract.

I think there's very few coming out of Parliament with any credit, not just from QT.

Bri, the link clearly shows the dodgy Ramsgate contract cost the Government nearly £50m.
It may be semantics to you, but with schools now setting up foodbanks, with more up here than anywhere else in the Country, I think it’s a disgraceful waste of money.

I've dropped a zero somewhere...

I di a lot of charity work around Blyth for the food banks. I absolutely can't disagree that the need for them in this age of instant technology is something any and every party should be ashamed of.

But that's getting us off track, or is it.

Are the Tories damned if they do and damned if they don't. They got hammered for the lack of No Del prep, and in the last 8 weeks they've been hammered for wasting money on No Deal prep.

Linking the money spent on prep for No Deal is the right thing to do, even if it is £50m or £100m. Its about value for money/money well spent. The food bank issue is a totally separate issue and has no bearing on Brexit. Yes, absolutely, food banks shouldn't happen but what has that got to do with Brexit.... lets blame potholes on the lack of money spent because of Brexit... bit silly isn't it.

Whilst the Ramsgate issue cost too much and is typical of Graylings inability to organise the proverbial p up in a brewery most of the money went to Eurotunnel - a French company!

Without coming across as rude Bri, it wasn’t me who brought Foodbank and the EU as having a connection in to the thread.
I mentioned how Poverty and Foodbanks have risen while the tories have been in power and clubchump brought the EU in to it.

 

[drdel]

There's suggestions that the EU are talking about the backstop. Perhaps they find Corbyn as much of a liability as us!

However, we seem to be just ignoring what's going on in the Brexit world today and simply bickering at each other. I feel the Fragger's finger getting itchy again !!

Well if you are going to reference someone at least spell their name right.
All I said is foodbanks have risen while we have been in the EU .
That’s a fact.

If foodbanks had been introduced in any point in history they would have been used. I do not belittle their cause but I do question the arguement they are a reflection of current politics.

 

[clubchamp98]

Not really they are mainly due to domestic policy.
I am just stating it’s a fact.
If anyone can disprove it .
Just proving facts can be distorted like statistics to prove a point.

The gist was if we didn’t give the EU so much money we would have more to spend on our own domestic agenda.
I would say that is correct, but depends if our politicians decided to spend that money and not just hide it to spend when there is a GE.

 

[clubchamp98]

Does every thread now get hijacked in to another load of Brexit

The whole programme was about it so it’s not a surprise.
But it did show up how poor our Mps are at debating this subject.
But that mirrors the whole country. Imo.
