BBC Question Time : Open Prison edition.



David Dimbleby presents Question Time from Southampton, with Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps MP, Labour's shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna MP and Liberal Democrat peer Shirley Williams. Thrilling!

Very busy so only a quick guess.
Dimbletie - Sympathy yellow.

Q1 - Skullcrusher and open prisons merging into Lib Dem super wetness on knife crime.
Q2 - Rent Controls. Hugo Milibavez reclaims the land.
Q3. Nigeria and kidnapping and why are we getting involved? Is it just media guilt for not mentioning this 3 week old story before?
Q4. Halal Pizzas. If you are against you must say why.
Q5. - Pfizer Astrazenaca. is it time to get French with our businesses and not trust foreigners?

(0) lightning flashes against a dark background
(1) halal meat, should we be told?
(2) women soldiers in the front line? (a blogpost on this one coming soon, I reckon)
(3) yes, Astra Zenenca
(4) Ukraine, have sanctions worked as Putin blinks?
(5) something reflecting the 1-year count-down to the next General Election

Evenin’ ewe all,

1. So what do the sheep think or are they stunned this issue has eventually resurfaced?

Will the zealots get their way that there will be no labeling, because if there is labelling, it must included the words ‘electrified’, ‘boiled’, ‘bolted’…? Shocked? Nice tactic.

2. A tup-pence for your thoughts on Europe, Nigel. (Pfizer is American tax dodger.)

3. If a woman is built like a ram, of course she can serve in face-to-face combat teams.

4. Buck the herd instinct on immigration. The European elections and Cameron trying to contain the peasants' revolt. Southampton has a large Polish community.

5. Poor little lamb, chop prison sentences in half. Stop being woolly, Nick; wether the storm.

Dimbletie: green and white (colours of the Nigerian flag)

Dimbletie: UKIP purple dominating Tory blue

1. Is UKIP the party of closet racists?
2. Boko Haram: why the sudden interest?
3. Will AstraPhizer lead to cheaper Viagra or less tax?
4. Why open prisons, again? (And does the prison transfer board know about inmate nicknames before agreeing to transfer)
5. From left field: if immigrants are willing to swim or sail the Channel to reach Blighty, are we perhaps a bit too generous?

hello everybody [echo]

1) Letting out 13 life term prisoners? WhoDaThunkIt he didn't come back (willingly) Mind you going back to the same BS as he did before... WhoDaThunkIt!

2) No labelling - or the lamb gets it! WhoDaThunkIt, dead lambs are tastiest but you get less excercise.

3) Barclays cuts jobs to save money, WhoDaThunkIt a bank chasing profit!

4) Are there any genuine English eccentric geniuses left? Look out for Beagle 3. RIP Colin.

5) WhoDaThunkIt! Something on the NHS after all it is the Beeb.

Tie- Black and yellow and brown

Hi BQ & everyone

Bit of a polarized line-up; quite rare - new editor? Was worried about Dimbles in Farage v Clegg debates, looked a bit fucked. Next election his last, stay on while then.

1) What is the point of Grant Shapps?

2) Can Chukka spell Pfizer without saying 'yes please' thinking it's a fancy cocktail?

3) Has Shirley Williams ever been right about anything?

4) What happens to UKIP with decapitation?

5) Can Caroline Lucas look more smug?

Cheers Bill

Bill Quango MP said...

Didn't see that Nigel was on the panel - probably going to be bash the kippers night. 5 questions about immigrants.

Dimby tie - pinky swirls

First Q : Does the UK need to come out of EU to stop the flow of immigrants living in this country?

45 minutes on that question - Dimbleby drops back to sleepy mode.

Q2: Is US intervention in search for abducted Nigerian girls likely to inflame situation and provoke Boko Haram?

Q3: Should shareholders or politicians decide the outcome of Pfizer’s bid for AstraZeneca?

pretty dismal outing. Farage was rattled at the end. 4 vs 1. he loses his cool.

Bill Quango MP said...

Scores - BQ - 4
ND - 2
Malcolm Tucker - 4
Measured - 4 + 1 for Nigerian flag joke
Hopper - 4 ish .. let say 5
Timbo614 - 2
Dtp - 3

Dick - Dimby was dreadful again. The pills have worn off. He let it over run and be boring. Time for Paxman to take over.

Winners of this poor episode was Measured and Hopper.

prize is to decide should governments be allowed to prevent takeovers?

Timbo614 said...

I thought it was fun episode, everywhere that Nigel goes he seems to create havoc or at least controversy, which is of course his aim.

Lost it at the end a bit yes tho' he was basically under attack by the rest of the panel for the entire hour.

measured said...

Good question.

We need a World Trade Agreement. More work for the lawyers.

It's crass for governments to ban takeovers, strew obstacles in the way to extract more ounces of fat. The Coalition is still naive.

Life taught me, BQ, when fat cats sweet talk you, just nod as to do anything else is fatal. Always be careful of those who make good observation, immediately followed by a biased opinion, and when you receive an unsolicited phone call, think why. Lets hope Black Rock do the right thing and not sell out.
