I have never heard of any of them. Why isn't it an all female panel? Is should reflect the massive female population in Worthing. 3:1 apparently. But sadly they are mostly over 70.

I'll be tuning in to spot the inevitable Worthing faces in the crowd though.

Do you reckon there are any Question Time groupies, who follow it wherever it goes - it wouldn't surprise me.

They supposedly get a cross section of the population to reflect all political parties. I assume it is different every week, and locally based people.

I never watch it - it's just a shouting match, where people just get more entrenched in their original view, it's not a healthy debate. Pointless (ah, there's already a TV program with that name). Worthing's quite nice, though.

It’s highly likely that no panelist or audience member has ever changed their view after listening to others there. Same old entrenched views, with Dimbleby shite-stirring and very weakly allowing bullies on the panel to dominate.

I only ever watch for the entertainment, when they have entrenched views A-Listers on.

My dream panel would include Will Self, Peter Hitchens, Diane Abbott, David Starkey, Katie Hopkins and Nigel Farage.

Vankleek Hill, actually....
At least David Dimbleby won't take long to get home this evening. A 20 minute drive eastwards on the A27 at Knockaert speeds will be sufficient.

True story. A couple of weeks ago I was in Waitrose Hailsham and DD ambled past in a crumpled suit with a trolley full of wine, bags of charcoal briquettes and other BBQ goodies.

He got preferential service because they opened a special checkout just for him, while I had to wait in the queue with the rest of the plebs. *******.!!!!

Ahh, Dr David Starkey.

No matter WHAT the question is about, he somehow always manages to shoe-horn in the fact that he's gay. Me and my dad have text-bets on what time he'll first mention it.

Worthing is awash with hipsters and Brightonian exiles so it might not be as 'Brexit Central' as many might predict. OK. I might have overstated it a bit.

Worthing was 53% leave, 47% remain, so only very slightly above the average.

Its interesting when you look at the results of Brexit based on parts of the country breakdown. 382 authorities, 263 voted to leave, that's 69%, more than two thirds of the country.

Of those 263, Worthing was 220th, so some distance short of hard Brexit, but more reflective of the rest of the country than Brighton and Hove :)
