Question Time Was An Absolute Disgrace Tonight

[Svejk]

An all time low for the BBC and that's saying something.
Dimbleby will surely be sacked. And with any luck, sued by Nigel Farage.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Never watch it for try to keep sane despite tsunami of stupidity reasons, Svejk. Did stumble on a snippet while channel hopping and recorded remainder of it 'cos of Melanie Phillips.

[saintpeter48]

He did say a few things against Farage, it seems that the BBC just doesn't like UKIP, millions of people in the last General Election who voted for them cannot all be wrong!

[vetuste_ennemi]

Millions of people CAN be wrong, St Peter. But that's not the point here, is it? The Dimbleboys can't conceive that the moral axioms they've acquired by sucking at their mother's breast may be viewed as absurdities by people who've lived in the real world.

[Svejk]

Melanie Phillips is always very good, imo.
Even(only) the left-wing comedian came to the defence of Farage and UKIP.
Carswell ran his usual bid for the leadership of UKIP. He has to be sacked before he inflicts any more damage.

[Gromit]

UKIP have just one MP, and you think he should be sacked? Are you getting jealous the Labour and Tories are imploding, and you wish UKIP to follow suit?

@Svejk

I've seen worse renditions of this programme. At least, this week, there was minimal talking over one another. I suspect they'd had a briefing before it got underway.


What did Dimbleby say about Farage that was actionable?

[vetuste_ennemi]

no name, no pack drill.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Not you, Hypo.

[Lynn_M]

I didn't see it, but let me guess: Dimbleby was once again pushing the leftist narrative.

It's something I've come to expect from the Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation

[Jackdaw33]

Like that one, Lynn.

[sandyRoe]

Can nothing be done to winkle out these lefties who insidiously work to undermine and denigrate all we hold dear?

[sp1814]

Melanie Phillips is back???

[douglas9401]

Aye she's back. You don't notice the measured voice of reason till it's gone. :-)

[Old_Geezer]

Details ?

Opps. That doesn't appear to be working.

[youngmafbog]

I would not expect anything less from him or the Bloated Braodcasting Corp.

High time both went.

[Old_Geezer]

Ah finally. I assume the point of issue was Dimbleby's inexcusable reference to the queue poster as being racist, and telling Douglas Carswell that he objected to Farage on racist grounds (implying Farage is a racist) when he had said nothing of the sort ? Plus nonsense about changing the party name. I'll carry on looking but that is well out of order.

[Svejk]

As i recall, he didn't just 'imply' Farage was a racist, he said he was, twice, and that UKIP was a racist party.
Got to do something, will return to this.

[Old_Geezer]

I also see that the 'remain' supporters are still pushing that blatant lie regarding the £350M we were down to pay to the EU. Surely by now they know they have been caught out and would stop claiming it ? Surely they couldn't continue to be that daft ; but it seems some are.
