Hip to be bear Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Question time from Scotland, so plenty of Labour support in the audience.......... Lord Forsyth...(ex tory minister).....spelt out the difference between deficit and debt and laid it out for the sheeple to see. Usual Labour rubbish from Douglas Alexander. Lib Dems getting a spanking......Ed Byrne, the comedian, being a left wing wet... Good telly for once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lib Dems getting a spanking......Ed Byrne, the comedian, being a left wing wet... Good telly for once! Ed Byrne's understanding of Labour's dismal record is comedy. Of course, like all the other 'champagne socialists' he can well afford to sit there dictating to the believers how it wasn't Liebour's fault... They'd all be in uproar if the cost of borrowing in this country skyrocketed because we can't get a grip on debt and our structural deficit . They simply can't have it both ways... I can well understand the anger at the bank bailouts though and I feel for the person at the back who thinks she will be homeless. The young shafted as usual... Edited to add last paragraph.

Lib Dems getting a spanking......Ed Byrne, the comedian, being a left wing wet... Good telly for once! I agree about Forsyth but he can cannot compete with the populist rantings of Ed Byrne. Even the Lib Dem guy was getting booed by the audience, the Labour support in Scotland is far more brainwashed than anywhere else in the UK they are all far more likely to believe Byrne than Forsyth any day which is rather sad.

Hip to be bear Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Snp lady trying the usual Trident red herring.... Ditch trident and save the local services.........blah, blah, blah..... Even one of the audience had done the maths...... From my understanding, Trident is a £100 billion project over 40 years......£2.5 billion per year, albeit loaded at the front end. Surely a saving of this size is trifling in comparison with a deficit of £160 billion per year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovelyhead Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 No worse than in much of England and most of Wales too! Why are people so short sighted and stupid?! Are question time audiences representative of the British public? I think they might be. I say let the UK crash and burn. Lets really give them all something to get worked up about. Most people are living in some sort of Disney La La land where they deserve every thing they want because their worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulu Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Massive anti SNP feeling within the audience. That is because the Labour 'rentamob' are in town and up here the SNP are their biggest threat.

Most people are living in some sort of Disney La La land where they deserve every thing they want because their worth it. I actually thought exactly the same thing. Coped with watching this for about 3 minutes before I had to turn over. Let Labour back in, let the UK implode, they deserve it and I will just ****** off somewhere else. The cheers that Labour still get and the audience cheering and whooping when that twit Byrne says the deficit is not Labours fault ? Let them rot. They deserve it. The only hope is that QT audiences are hand picked for their ignorance and stupidity. If not then we are truly ******ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hip to be bear Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Futile isn't it. No, Labour should be criticised, lambasted, embarassed and shamed for their disgraceful abuse and destruction of our UK economy for generations to come as far as I am concerned!

I think like me a lot of people wanted NuLabour back to face the country with the mess that they created. Mind you it hacks me off when some Tories don't admit that we had a deficit in 97. All MPs should feel that they live under a microscope so that they buck up their morals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyhead Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Indeed. Although I would need a bit of breathing space to disappear if it happened. I would want to watch from afar. The worst thing is that I reckon that Labour will be in power again in 5 years time. It's just like groundhog day. Labour ****** it up, Tories come in and sort it but are out of power for a decade, then Labour ****** it up again rinse and repeat. I have voted SNP for the last 10 years. No more. They are just a populist party the same as the rest. From now on I'm voting for the Jedi party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is the Tories only plan to balance the deficit by then - the debt will still be over a trillion. I reckon they will just get in and go on and on about the deficit, never mention the debt again, and assume the idiot UK public will not bother to work out the difference. They would probably be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the bit when he tried to explain Keynes. He forgot to mention the bit about saving money in the good times to foist upon the bad. Tosser. With regard to the potentially homeless girl, this is the very nub of the issue. Rents will have to fall. The floor has been removed. Im fairly sure the councils will just quietly reudce their rents, to meet the new, slightly lower, floor. The private sector will be harder to crack, BUT CRACK IT MUST.

I liked the shot of the Liebour youth audience member nodding sagely in profile with barely a first growth of bumfluff on his chin. Nice bit of editing/direction there BEEB. Twaats. Since the election ive weaned myself off of day to day politics, having more or less got the result i wanted. ie the removal of the most toxic malignant nutjob ever to walk in to Number 10. However,tuning in tonight, its very clear that the new government need to rip the BBC to ******ing shreds. Not all of it, just the "news gathering" remit.
