The state of this question.
I'm wasn't sure if the episode was recorded before Young's attendance at that conference was known because Morgan's answer on that one is even more bizarre and cnutish than you'd expect from him.The state of this question.
The tories should be smashing labour on their total lack of policy on europe, but they can't say too much without opening up their own divisions.Labour again being very fuzzy on single market membership/no single market membership.
Well yeah, it's basically the problem for the two main parties at the moment. Both of them are trying to deal with the biggest issue the EU has faced for at least a half-century but are unable to articulate exactly what their opinions are on the matter. The Tories have repeatedly flip-flopped between hard and soft Brexit, often maintaining the former position but sometimes veering to the latter when the realities of the situation begin to hit them. Labour non-committal over it is basically tactical because they know taking a stance either way will be unpopular, but it feels like they're gonna have to commit one or the other at some point.The tories should be smashing labour on their total lack of policy on europe, but they can't say too much without opening up their own divisions.
Yup, and the question even had "snowflake" in it ffs.I'm wasn't sure if the episode was recorded before Young's attendance at that conference was known because Morgan's answer on that one is even more bizarre and cnutish than you'd expect from him.
Obviously condemnation of all party figures is needed but the outright deflection going on here is seriously weird. You'd think Young had just made one or two slightly off-colour tweets.
It's not great.The state of this panel.
Delingpole now on This Week, one of the few people that makes Piers Morgan look a man of integrity and class.Christ, the more you listen to Morgan the more you realise how lacking in substance he really is. His point about Trump being a 'maverick' had nothing to do with actual politics and was basically an extended way for him to state the obvious.
Comedian wasn't too bad, nor was Miller. Tory and Labour representatives were fairly shite.
I'm not sure why we have comedians holding down a fairly regular slot on the panel at all (he wasn't even particularly funny). Why that trade more than countless others? How about a conservationist or scientist, on account of the plastic pllution story.Comedian wasn't too bad, nor was Miller. Tory and Labour representatives were fairly shite.
I'd absolutely prefer to have more experts on the panel instead of comedians and charlatans like Morgan but it's pretty much the reality of the situation we've got insofar as they're clearly appealing for ratings ahead of quality content. Especially considering most of the actual politicians' answers tend not to even have an ounce of substance. The whole thing's basically a Jeremy Kyle-esque shouting match anyway.I'm not sure why we have comedians holding down a fairly regular slot on the panel at all (he wasn't even particularly funny).

Miller was comparatively quiet it seemed to me, and most of what she said was predictable.
In hindsight, Corbyn might have been better off narrowly losing the last election. If he had have narrowly won, he'd be kept busy with Brexit and would struggle to pass anything he'd want to domestically. Now he can keep quiet for a year or two and blame the Tories for anything that happens because of Brexit and possibly win a larger majority.Well yeah, it's basically the problem for the two main parties at the moment.

IIRC, it's a case of ongoing abuse and intimidation direct toward a Conservative MP prior to the 2017 election.
Christ, what's the context behind that?
They can be sacked by the party for almost any reason.Correct me if I'm wrong but an MP cannot be sacked unless they've been jailed can they?
He's not from around here, you know.Who the feck is this cnut Black and what on earth is he doing on QT?
He's in the film industry, he lives in an alternative universe. He knows nothing of reality and real life.He's not from around here, you know.
Is he the extra auditioning for a teenage Steve Jobs role?Who the feck is this cnut Black and what on earth is he doing on QT?
Come on, saying that if nurses were predominantly men they'd get paid more, that's pathetic. The male nurses get paid the same as the female nurses, they're on a pay scale.'there are many males in the NHS, hospital porters for example'
Bloody hell these months are flying by.I just showered, so am watching this on delay. Floral woman saying damn banks (which have been legally forced to tighten their balance sheets and lending rules) for not dishing out cash to distressed small cap companies. Gah, you can't win.
Happy birthday!Bloody hell these months are flying by.
You're not one of that Boris Island lot, are you?Aargh, Davies sounding good, but I'll never forgive him for concluding third runway at Heathrow is best.
No but I live in Brook Green, W14, and don't want it becoming a major flightpath. Nimby maybe, but understandable.You're not one of that Boris Island lot, are you?
Indeed. And female porters get the same as male porters. What struck me was the inherently sexist statement about porters being male from someone who was trying to appear anti-sexist.Come on, saying that if nurses were predominantly men they'd get paid more, that's pathetic.

Just worrying about using my back garden and house price!Just checking
I'm pretty happy about that personally, and Heathrow is my nearest international airport.Aargh, Davies sounding good, but I'll never forgive him for concluding third runway at Heathrow is best.
Heathrow is a 20-30 min cab ride for us and Gatwick more an hour or so journey.I'm pretty happy about that personally, and Heathrow is my nearest international airport.
Mind you, we lived only a couple of miles from Manchester Airport, the planes used to fly so low over my primary school, you almost felt you could touch them.
It was only marginally annoying in the summer when the French Windows were open, otherwise, it was fun living near a busy airport.
Edit: Actually, I think it's great!
