Question Time this week with Joey Barton

[JCL666]

The UKIP rep absolutely shone and wiped the floor with everyone else, it was like a party political broadcast for UKIP. The Labour woman had an absolute car crash.

You're looking at it through ukip glasses.

She just shouted a lot and couldn't explain any policies.

If it was a party political broadcast for anyone, it was for "none of the above".

Clearly I live on a different planet then :

1. I thought Barton came across quite well. Even the 4 ugly women thing was slightly over blown by the UKIP woman and the woman in the audience.
2. Other than her faked disgust at Barton I thought the UKIP woman was fairly good.
3. Piers Morgan, someone I detest, came across quite well - bar the Heathrow question.
4. The Labour and Tory reps came across EXACTLY the same as always - boring and out of touch. I wonder why UKIP are growing ?
5. I quite enjoyed the show.
6. Amusing there was no Lib Dem - hmmmmm - dead and buried ?

And which policies did Labour or the Tories manage to highlight successfully ?

Why does everyone in the audience look as though they haven't slept for a week?

QT was from Heathrow , most of them would live underneath the flight path

Same when I supported Labour, didn't know what they stood for in the end, and I still don't know now.
Better off for me voting UKIP, and will keep voting UKIP. At least they are clear on immigration and the EU which is something that bothers me. All Labour do now is pussy foot around the subject with their one nation bollox.

Was expecting after their dismal display they would at least come out with something to help win UKIP voters back like me, at the moment nothing.
Labour will never change, and Labour will change nothing. All they are good at is telling everyone else what to do.

Totally understand disillusionment with all the main political parties, I am pretty much with you on that. I couldn't support a party though that hasn't told me what they believe in, other than being anti EU and hardline on immigration. (Albeit I disagree with them over that anyway...) I rather doubt that when they finally get round to it there'll be much to attract lapsed Labour supporters.

Interesting how we all see things. I actually thought the Tory spoke well and was very considered in responses, highlighting a lot of the work that is already in place. Morgan as well, like you, can't stand the bloke, but he was also considered......

Labour were completely side-lined (an after-thought if you like), with little meaningful input, which I feel reflects where they are as a party. I also felt that the UKIP lady was ok in places, but when pressured around policy, was all huff and puff, and didn't provide any coherent messages.

TBH I can't comment on Barton, as I really detest him more than Morgan (never thought I'd say that).......

Good show as you say.

I think I've heard of those two somewhere.

I was hoping you were going to name 3 things they are clear on.................

I wouldn't vote UKIP if they were the last option on the ballot paper so 'UKIP glasses' have nothing to do with it. She didn't 'shout' at all, was a very impressive orator and came out of it with the most credit so myself and my other half (traditionally Labour/Green voters) thought. Both Labour and the Tory boy were frankly pathetic on the night.

You would think after the dismal display of Labour they would be doing something to get some of the old voters back. They have done nothing, and will continue doing nothing. Labour have become too comfortable and that is the problem with political parties in this country. It makes it almost impossible for parties like UKIP to make any sort of ground because of the system, that's not fair on the people who want a change.

I'm hoping UKIP come good next year, I really do. I hope UKIP get a decent manifesto together and give Labour a good lesson on why you should listen to your voters.
Out of all the parties in this county I think Labour did the most damage to our country. I understand the economic downturn was not their fault, but everything else we see today is a direct result of how they ran our country.

Sadly Labour are following the policy of the Tories while they were in opposition - say nothing about anything and hoping that they get in on the incumbents lack of popularity. What brought that home to me was the Labour EU election pamphlet - it had NOTHING about the EU in it and just attacked the Tories - almost entirely on domestic policy. No polices and no ideas / solutions - Red Ed is a liability and anyone that votes for his party currently needs taking out and shooting - it would be a kindness.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Funny - I thought the one who came out of it best was Willets - but his message was one people do not want to hear. And people do not trust the intentions of his party.

Should the Labour party get back in, I will give it a few months before people actually start saying, "What did we vote for here?".

Labour are good for two things, deeper integration with the EU and increased immigration.
Once they get in, they can try and shut people up like us. They probably even make it a criminal offence to talk about immigration, because as we know Labour just love tellling everyone else what to do so they can control your life.

I hope Labour piss off enough people this time, so that UKIP start eating in to their support.

What's hilarious about this is that the demographic of UKIP supporters suggests that the bulk of their support is switching from the Tories so with a bit of luck CMD will fail again at an election because if UKIP have any inkling of success it is likely to be at expense of conservative seats!

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I hope this show goes some way to dismissing the notion that he is intelligent though. Some people seem to confuse intelligence with opinion for some reason.

Just watched it. Mission accomplished.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Nah. You have seen what you want to see.

I know what was said was harsh however do you really believe Milliband is Prime Minister material ?

I feel David would have been a better bet but of all the options out there, and what I want delivered, for me he is the best option. I have to believe he is PM material. Not a ringing endorsement I agree.

We do agree on one thing then, the wrong brother is in the job at present.

 

[ROSM]

The wrong man is leading the labour party, but what is interesting is that labour (and ukip) are the ones setting the political agenda at the moment. Cost of living, energy prices, immigration, Europe etc all hiding the stories that the Tories would love to be discussing instead
