Question Time last night was pretty fierce. And had to be. There's a deliberate effort now to shift the ground: towards appeasement, inhumanity and authoritarianism. Once more, we must resist it. We must fight hard for kindness.

QT has form on this.
Fiona is just so biased
I need to go on it, my loud adhd would not let them not answer my question ( I’d probably be kicked out tbf)
My alma mater decided to part ways with him
If they were speaking as private individuals, fair enough, but they're speaking for the BBC which is supposed to be impartial.
Is the problem management bias?
Who is on the Executive Committee?
Have they been politically active?
NB: When confronted with “this (extra spending) will mean higher taxes” turn to MMT George, ask UCL
They were wrong. The banquet of consequences is about to be served.
I want to hear more of them.
We need more balance.
(You did really well by the way).

Have you seen Gary's new move on organising?

Nobody remembers who Chamberlain was, they still venerate statues of Churchill despite his appalling racism.
Why? Churchill stood up to Nazis.
Wanna be remembered? Want a legacy? Stand up to Musk/Trump now.

That show desperately needs you on every week as the conscious for country, George. You always make people think.
You were up against it with that pair.
Your bit on the Catch-22 for asylum seekers changed the dynamic utterly - no coherent answer from #Labour Govt
Really upsetting.
I'm sure lots agreed with the young chap but won't speak up.
Around "good people"
Fact is there's nothing we can do. Our "elected" Govt is in for 4 years, America same. Govts protect themselves against protest by enacting new laws. Legitimate debate, Petitions etc easily squashed by Govt. Result populations "enslaved". Democracies destroyed.
Sad however the BBC keeps debating over and over again the “concerns” about immigration and yet failed to correct the Tory MP who lied and was told by members of the public that he was pushing the lie around “illegal asylum seekers”.
Just once? Maybe keep the post trials though.
Monarchy: transfer of all wealth and power to rulers facilitated by collaborators taking their cut
Equitable Society: economic democracy, equitable ownership, community land trusts, worker cooperatives, safety nets, love
Now that's a moving sentiment.
Now we're all under the weather.
Taking the risk of hope is nearly impossible this Friday morning.
Nearly.
Benelux, France etc?). And ignoring what’s right!
Would they be so cavalier if it was UK? 🤷♀️
And of course the BEF who fled home at first sight of the Nazis.
Or are you claiming their sacrifices in WWII for the glory of Russia alone?
Working together to overcome greed and hatred
Their policy of not giving airspace to extremist nationalists seems to have faded into the past, as the oligarchic media has shifted the Overton window.
I gave up with this programme a few years ago. I once was a huge fan.
No words
I look forward to your next appearance in 2039.

Just so I can miss frog face you understand.
Especially “Chamberlain” - he will never be able to shake that off, so thank you for that.
Thank you for standing up for reason and common sense George.
I was slightly heartened by the fact that the extremist right wing appeasers didn’t get that much applause. But some of those audience members… sheesh 🙄
Did we learn nothing?
I wouldn't have kept my cool with Matthew Goodwin.
In fact I didn't; I was shouting at the TV.
Bruce is a disgrace.
