Question Time

[hilts]

I’m still a little gobsmacked over QT the other night, mainly because they didn’t have a diverse crowd. Why was there nobody who had changed their mind, why was it just mainly uninformed old people who seemed a little ‘past it’, so to say.

And why didn’t they just ask the pertinent questions of:

Was it the 350 mil to the NHS that you voted for?

Was it the high wages?

Was it the restricting of immigration and refugees?

And so on.

Once they realise that they have not got what they wanted, then ask them what benefit they are seeing and watch their face. Works for me every time.

You must be a hoot at parties:-)

Where were you in the crowd, or have you just answered the questions ;-)

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the audience reflect how the country voted in the last GE? That is my understanding anway. That would explain why it's always full of right-wing reactionaries and Tory plants.
It would make more sense for the audience to reflect how the vote went locally at the last GE
.

Apparently it was a special that only had pro-Brexit nutcases who still support it but can’t see benefits, as yet.

If you are going to do that, surely you’d have those who have changed their mind on it, not just people who voted for it because of the stupid stuff that has been posted on this thread.

Embarrassing to say the least.

I'm missing something. Right at the beginning FB explained that the audience was made up of 100 percent leavers, but each was interviewed beforehand to see if they had second thoughts. 60 percent were content with their original vote, 30 percent said they would vote differently now and 10 percent were unsure.

Well, they mustn’t have had any of those 40% on or they ensured they kept their traps shut.

I really hate how the media passes the mic way too often to these voices. Not only does it peddle dangerous untrue dog whistle(many times unchallenged), it perpetuates the stereotype that every white non-urbanite they meet is a racist. Those communities have serious issues outside of the racist lot they pick up. Lazy journalism…

Campbell should have jumped in and asked the bigot how does he know the "facts". Does he follow the refugees from hotels/hostels transit camps to the dole office and stand behind them listening in. He was allowed to spout his nonsense without censure.

Plus the old lady going on about the French and German roofers - what was she on about?

She used to Thatch Rooves years ago.
Apologies to Mr Kobayashi his reply beat mine.

The plural of roof is roofs.
