Question Time - BBC1 22:45

[portlock seagull]

Lots of shouting early doors. Whoop whoop.

Nick: I'd sooner have Richard Hammond take me for a Sunday drive than have Corbyn as PM.

Classy comment - not! The fat woman is a right arse. I still can't take any Labour (Stella Crecy) MP criticising a Tory MP about spending, seriously. 3 Blair governments bankrupted us and it's going to take a bit more than 7 years to put that right, especially when most of that time is coalition or minority governments.

No Amber Rudd?
............Nick 'on my LBC Radio show' Ferrari......

I counted 2 of them in one paragraph.

The most sensible one seemed to be the Editor of the Economist, she can see the impending slow motion car crash for the UK.

Liam Fox is a worry, clearly in Lala land.

I thought she was a bit shouty. How did she acquire the name Zanny - her birth name is Susan Jean.

 

[Insel affe]

How did she acquire the name Zanny - her birth name is Susannah Jean.

It is all about the "Hipster" vote now fella, we are dinosaurs

I guess so - I'm going to acquire the name Ptarmigan - see how they like that.

Ptarquin might be better

 

[Insel affe]

Ptarquin might be better

I was thinking along the lines of Nessuna Pietà

Yes the Economist has an excellent track record predicting impending disaster ..

They expected a contraction of 1% in 2017 (compared with 1.8% growth previously) as a slump in domestic demand pulls the economy into recession. UK GDP is on course to grow 1.9% in 2017. No contraction. No recession.

They forecast the number of those in work to fall by hundreds of thousands. More people are in work than ever…

Predicted that by next year unemployment will rise by 380,000 and GDP will fall by 6% compared to the pre-June 23 ...

Still if they (like many on here) keep predicting a car crash for the economy year after year they're bound to get it right eventually.

And she said the Millenium bug would plunge us into new dark age...These modern day Nostradamus's aren't that good are they?!! Like you said, eventually they get 'lucky' by virtue of law of averages. Spike Milligan style!

Really I thought it was Ryan Gosling?

Susannah - Zanny (from the second part of her name)

 

[whitelion]

Susannah - Zanny (from the second part of her name)

But she is Susan not Susannah.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

But she is Susan not Susannah.

I see you corrected it from before.

 

[whitelion]

I see you corrected it from before.

But you quoted it as Susan.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

But you quoted it as Susan.

I did but thought it was an abbreviation.
