No matter how far he has risen in the movement, he can still, like many in the party leadership, cut through the bullshit and speak plainly. Politics really isn't difficult, and people like Ian are opening the doors for people who thought they weren't equipped to make a difference. He'll never mistake mushy peas for guacamole, that's for damn sure. If by plainly you mean in an aggressive and condescending manner then I agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed absolutely lost, constantly looking down at his notes and trailing off when he didn't have an appropriate soundbite to rely on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 If by plainly you mean in an aggressive and condescending manner then I agree. I wouldn't say he was aggressive, just came across as a monumental thicko and a fucking mile out of his depth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Lavery was murder, particularly on Brexit. Labour is basically committed, much like the Tories, to a hard Brexit - or just a very slightly watered-down version of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I suspect that if Question Time was shown on ITV or Channel 4, there would be adverts for anger management courses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Peter Hitchens was the most sensible. Ayesha was trying to inject humour but got severely bullied. Bradley's irrelevant. Lavery was a Geordie version of Rowley. The leave guy had no idea 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need to watch it but he was quite calm dismissing both mainstream parties and the Leave campaign, although what he stands for in a political sense is a bit odd. I can't be bothered trying to work it out-a plague on all your houses sort off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Spoons Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Question Time was, long ago, a good forum for reasoned, topical political debate. Sadly, nowadays, it seems to exist mainly to reinforce the binary division created by Brexit. Every week the same old cliches: 'leve means leave,' 'We are where we are,' etc are trotted out. It has become tiresome, unimaginative and boring. Edited September 30, 2017 by Mr Spoons 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 "Because he's for Britain. Boris Johnson is for Britain. Sorry? He's for Britain. That's how I see it; you know what I mean? It just... take the money out of Europe, keep the money here in Britain. He's British through and through." *Audience applauds.* 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
