Look at her saying rubbish. She's beyond hope. Last year, I had a man telling me I had ebola and I shouldn't spread it. This country is fecked.
Honestly? You take her right out of her bubble and you force her to actually live, work and socialise amongst the people she villainises. I guarantee that her reaction would be one of absolute shock. "Well the ones I met were actually all really nice people" .
Not sure, she's too far gone.

You're probably right. The absolute travesty is that Question Time continues to give these people a platform. Worse than that, the original clip they shared of this woman gave her a soap box she wasn't worthy of, let her spew over a minute of bile and then cut off any response that was made to her. I'm failing to see how this is "balanced" production from a BBC produced programme.

Trivial in comparison, perhaps, but...

I was looking at takeaway websites yesterday, merely to gauge prices (literally haven't had one in months, as I lacked money) and not a few customers' so-called reviews began or were headlined with horrible stuff such as 'Learn to speak English!', 'This Chinese/Turkish (etc) is filthy' and the rancid like. Some folks need little excuse to have a go, and our shameless politicians encourage them.

In 2017, 59% (net: +36%) of Labour supporters thought immigration enriched culture as compared to 23% (net: -27%) of your fellow travelers.

Stop transfering the bigotry of your party and people who vote like you onto others.
Oh get over yourself, have you completely ignored the result of the last election?

It's your lot of racist Labour voters who are responsible for this Government.

No, you've been repeating this shit for a while. There's consistent data showing greater histoility from Tories towards immigration, which you deny because you can't imagine a posh racist.

Also Boris' Tories retained 85% of their 2017 voters, I think that chunk did more to take them to record highs than the ~15% Labour voters who went to them.

There are constituencies which have been historically Labour since the beginning of time which voted Tory because they don't like immigrants.

It is them who are responsible for the current Government, not those voters who would have voted Tory anyway.

In my constituency, thousands deserted the Tories for the LibDems, but with such a huge majority, it was never going to be overturned.

Given her support for Tommy Robinson I don’t think she was a Corbyn voter in 2017. Tories have generally been the Nasty Party for a reason, just lately with an added oomph.

She probably voted Labour at the election before last.

Once again Colin the facts have beaten you. Turns out she is a tommy robinson supporter.


This is well worth a really

Is BBC Question Time’s audience producer really a fascist?

She's a nasty piece of work who left me open mouthed when I witnessed her racist tirade.

Suffice to say, whatever views you may hold personally, it's down to traditional Labour voters who are responsible for the current Government.
This is clearly a dumb take Colin. They're responsible for about 10% of it. The denizens of Chipping fecking Norton do not get off scott free.

I’m something of a politics/current affairs nut. I record PMQs, watch QT every week and even indulge in a little bit of Select Committee viewing.

This performance from Helen Whately is the worst I have ever seen. She can’t even string a coherent sentence together yet she’s managed to find herself in the Cabinet of the UK government. I teach more articulate ten year olds for feck sake.

The Phones4U founder is on to say we should go for herd immunity.
