Originally posted by JohntheBike View PostI've had occasion to speak to someone personally who had appeared on Question Time. Their assessment of the program was that is was highly stage managed and despite claims that the audience was representative, many of those who were present at the episode held in my area, did not even live in the area.

Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostYes, thanks for that very incisive observation. As ill-informed speculative sweeping generalisations go, it is way up there.

I do not like white supremacists or what they stand for. Does this make me racist? Discuss
From:
Racism - Wikipedia
The ideology underlying racism often includes the idea that humans can be subdivided into distinct groups that are different due to their social behavior and their innate capacities as well as the idea that they can be ranked as inferior or superior

Don't worry that will be sorted soon, we will align with the rest of Europe. Note where we fall in the statistics. Well behind Germany & France.
Racism against black people in EU 'widespread and entrenched' - BBC News
When looking for work, a quarter of respondents said they had felt racially discriminated against - these rates were highest in Austria, Italy and Luxembourg. Nearly 10% said they had faced similar problems in dealing with schools and education authorities.
Access to both private and social housing was another area where 21% people said they had faced discrimination. Austria and Italy were identified as the countries where this was most likely.
One in 20 respondents said they had been a victim of a physical attack in the last five years, ranging from 14% in Finland to 2% in Portugal. The figure was 3% for the UK.
“The survey paints a dire picture of the reality on the ground,” said the agency’s director, Michael O’Flaherty, in a preface to the report. Referring to the EU’s 2000 racial equality directive, he said: “Almost 20 years after adoption of EU laws forbidding discrimination, people of African descent face widespread and entrenched prejudice and exclusion.”

Originally posted by cosmic View PostBut that is where you are wrong. She did not play the race card. An audience member made a horrible dig at her... She wanted to reply back and was told that she would get an opportunity to do so but was later dismissed. Also the part where she quoted as saying that Labour was in the lead in the polls which was true but was told by Fiona that that was not true and that Tories (which Fiona is) are in the lead which is not true. Also the audience is meant to be 50/50 to give a fair balance but clearly in that episode it was not. Majority of uk just want brexit over. If that means staying in then so be it. It's like question time is pro brexit and pro Tory since Fiona joined. BBC is trying to sway the viewers because when people watch it they think we'll if majority of the audience support Tory and brexit that must mean most of the country does which is not the case. Also I have noticed most brexiters are racist judging by the comments made by the audience who want brexit.

Then again, that should come as no surprise.

I unfortunately caught the end of the program. It I was the BBC I'd be asking for my money back. Any dolt can trot out the Red manifesto ad infinitem. Refusing to answer the Chairs question should also be treated as a breach.
