Question Time - Nicola Horlick Being Pretty Apocalyptic

[The Knimbies who say No]

Yeah, I read a piece by Horlick in the paper about how she resented the 'superwoman' tag. Basically she said it's much easier to have a high powered career if you have enough money to contract out your children's upbringing to someone else. I paraphrase somewhat, but that was the gist of it.

Like others, I question her judgement in light of her involvement with Madoff. Just seems like another bullshitter, which appears to be a desirable quality for hitting the upper echelons of life in the UK.

[Venger]

Well, for Nicola Horlicks things are Apocalyptic

The tide went out and she was not wearing trunks.

April 2012

Georgina's has cost £300,000 to open — a relatively modest sum for a London restaurant. And Horlick, who has put up most of the money herself, insists it will break even within months. "I wanted to do this for Georgie, but I would not have done it if I had thought that it was not going to be commercially viable."

The growing band of retailers calling for the Government to overhaul business rates to protect the high street has an unlikely new ally.

Nicola Horlick is seeking investment for a restaurant in west London.

The day they have Max Kieser on QT I'll be glued to the telly with popcorn in hand, until then ...

[RIP]

Qt, like most of the BBC, is left-leaning, Guardian-reading, Israel-hating, Keynesian, Eurofanatic - Shall I go on?

Yes please. We've got nothing better to do.

[Tankus]

@ venger..........or maybe the food was just shite......?

[The Knimbies who say No]

Dimbers will be calling her to dispense her sagacious views soon on QT perhaps?

[crashmonitor]

Just at a time when London has experienced a mini boomlet it doesn't look good for the entrepreneur to lose her £300,000 investment in the restaurant business. I never understand the concept of starting a business in something that you manage as opposed to plying your own trade, you are going to struggle if you are having to buy the skills in.

I rarely watch QT. It's standard BBC left-leaning debate-lite. Dimbledore just strikes me as a sort of rather bumbling, old, out of touch gentleman who still lives in the golden utopia of post-war statism.

So working mothers do go out at night to dine? Do they ever see their kids?

I believe he lives in the 'golden utopia' of £15,000 an episode...

Yes not even moving the production team to Glasgow was enough to shift him.

As for Horlick, ah yes the dreaded 'socialist' business rates. Its never the payment to the rentier is it?

To be fair, the Government is the biggest rentier there is.

i never watch it. for me, its stage managed. from what i understand there is no freedom to ask what you want and if you do it is cut. is that about right? why would you watch what is effectively a soap box for politicians.

Yes, and the only one we can vote for.

David Dimbleby is at loggerheads with BBC executives over a plan to move production of Question Time from London to Glasgow.

Of course Dimbleby and his family and friends etc will have no influence on what the BBC does.

He's much worse than bumbling and out of touch, he clearly thinks there's nothing wrong with the status quo and does his best to suppress or ignore informed criticism of it.

That just about sums up QT. The audience participation is complete cliché nonsense. Forget the audience and get on some decent panellists.

[@contradevian]

I actually watched it last night. Well I was working and it was on in the background. (feck all else on).

Just seemed to be repeatedly hijacked by public sector (NHS) workers in the audience - whatever the question was.

Indeed by the time the audience had recited their NUPE prepared speeches I'd forgotten what they were talking about.

Left in no doubt that the real purpose of the NHS is to keep NUPE and its members in business. Good luck to any government tackling that.

Good starter question about whether the poor young, should support rich pensioners. Don't know how that question sneaked past the official censor. Come on, own up.

Just wonder whether this audience participation is really about David Dimbledy participation. Let's face it he would hardly be needed if we stuck to the original question and the panels answers. Instead we have the lunacy of this moronic audience participation (brilliantly parodied by Harry Enfield) and David Dimbledy being able to play God.
