The UKIP woman had a perfectly reasonable response, audience response - complete silence.
The Marxist bald Greek ars*hole speaks, every sentence is being clapped like he was announcing their share in a lottery win.

Why do you watch it JC ?, just a controlled propaganda show.

The BBC are leftrotten to the core.

I only watch it because the quality banter on the Chit Chat threads make it worthwhile :)

But I agree, the BBC news coverage of this issue has been insanely "leftrotten".
This Chris Bryant is a d*ck. He's such a fool ... is he in the Corbyn cabinet?

This is very on topic, the Labour MP Bryant who is just full of dim Guardian soundbites, his previous job was:
"Head of European Affairs for the BBC" Laugh

I'm sure he was objective though and there no bias with the Journalism LaughLaughLaughLaugh

If you think 'Question Time' is a barely-concealed propaganda-fest, it has a close rival in the increasingly ludicrous 'Newsnight'.

The show has become a humiliating shadow of its former self, with a blatant pro-lefty outlook. As I tune in this evening, they broadcast a feeble interview with Farage, and lo and behold we now have an excruciating and straight-faced chat with Frank Moloney.

QT made by independent company, Mentorn.

'Newsnight' also had a piece on today's Vibrant Stampede and the many attendant deaths, without asking ANY questions that anyone with an ounce of common sense would.

Saying who made it is a complete cop-out. Like when the BBC had that obvious **** audience during the election debate and they said "it was a balanced audience done by an an independent company" but when pressed on it and the actual figures came out, it was obviously a very left wing audience. Who does it doesn't change facts.

I don't even watch newsnight now as the presenters are all so annoying.
The main looks like he's an anorexic and ill and is weak and annoying and the other, o'Brien or something, is so patronising I want to hit things.

Yeah, you've really got to laugh at how "balanced" QT audiences are these days.

The wierd thing about the greek guy is I dislike his politics but I kind of like him. I think it's because he has a brain in his head, though you may disagree with him. I could imagine an intelligent conversation with him.

Unlike Bryant who is a fatuous soundbite spouting kn*b who likes to talk over people, he's classic modern Labour.
By:

Wesdag - when did you last volunteer to go on?  Whatever you think of it, the audience is clearly a product of the volunteer population and the selection/screening process.  Call me old-fashioned but I'd be a layer of the latter in the conspiracy stakes.

Idiots on the panel making simplistic arguments and idiots in the audience clapping like seals as if the panelists have the first clue. If this is representative then we are truly doomed.

Varoufakis intelligent? Just look at his comments about immigrants built America. Complete fool.
By:
Just Checking
When: 24 Sep 15 23:58
Well he sounded inteligent enough there. Maybe I'm just comparing him to Bryant Laugh.
Actually now I think about it maybe it's his delivery.
I'm old enough to have heard Plato speak, and he reminded me of him Blush

Yes his earlier comments about "we're all immigrants" and so on were a load of irrelevant left wing rubbish.

QT is on a bit later in my region but Varoufakis is playing an absolute stormer. I might not fully agree his ideas for dealing with refugees as they are a bit divorced from reality in that your potentially dealing with tens of millions and not hundreds of thousands but other than that he is a very impressive speaker.

The ukip lady made some reasonable points when she spoke to open up the programme but the silence was deafening in the audience reaction. Not a single clap from the entire audience.

First time I have ever seen Varoufakis speaking at any length but he has a very personable and likeability factor about him.
By:

Of course they are loving him paddle. He sounds just credible enough but crucially populistic enough to a audience of public sector half wits. Take it from someone who knows, he's a charlatan.

"The audience are loving him."
Errr.. that's the opening post on this thread Laugh. He's the "Marxist bald Greek ars*hole" I was referring to, when I was pointing out the biased audience makeup. If you did a poll I'm guessing like 60% of them think Corbyn is Jesus.

paddletoe I also mentioned that at the top of the thread. She was measured and reasonable and didn't say anything bad but got silence, they were literally whooping for everything the Greek guy said.
By:

Although I do agree that there is something personable about him and he expresses himself in a calm above the cut and thrust kind of way.
By:

I don't know enough about him or everything he stands for but I like QT from a purely debating perspective and he is coming across as highly impressive in winning over an audience with a very charming style about him.

Agreed Checking. When Farage resigned they should have put her in charge. Taking him back was lunacy despite him doing well for many previous years. UKIP needs to be a broader church.

Come off it paddle. He isn't winning them over. He is pushing at an open door.

He'll still be signing autographs for the audience, and getting Grauiand groupies back to his hotel room to show them his "rhetorical device".

Totally agree with you EO on his calm way of putting across points. As a contrast Chris Bryant talks twice as fast but talks in a very calm and slower way. His ideas might not stand up to scrutiny but its easy to appreciate why he is winning over this audience totally.

His comparison between immigration to America 200 years ago was not his finest point but would you not agree EO he is very good at putting across general points in a persuasive down to earth way. I appreciate you don't rate him at all but I am specifically taking about his style.
