I'm in the Question Time audience tomorrow night


You'll be able to spot me in my hemp, hand knitted cardigan and sandals


Anyway I guess I'd better think of a killer question


Any ideas?


*had


Mind you I'm in Essex so I'm allowed to drop the odd 'h'

 

Ilford or Chelmsford ?

 

Chelmsford - at the Marconi Club

 

Nice one

Obviously because you can actually construct an argument, do basic fact checking then weigh the facts

Trying to come to an evidence based conclusion

You will be viewed as a symbol of BBC bias

 

There's a UKIP MEP on the panel, I'm going throw my lentils at him

 

On the panel: Conservative education secretary Nicky Morgan MP, Labour's shadow defence secretary Emily Thornberry MP, the SNP's trade and industry spokesperson Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh MP, Ukip's leader in the European Parliament Roger Helmer MEP and director of the Institute of Economic Affairs, Mark Littlewood.

Never heard of any of them

 

Get a Trump tee shirt and wig, you'll get lots of attention from the camera

And then you can ask any question you like, no matter how non PC it might be.

 

I've had a few suggestions from my 'mates' which include...


'Should assisted suicide be brought in for Iain Duncan-Smith'?
'Should Kylie be honoured for her services to hot-pants'?
'Wenger Out'? (which I think was more of a statement than question)
'Should we repatriate all the Welsh'


Important matters of state

 

Do you really want to do this?

Those on here who think you're a k**b from your posts will now not have to wait and read what you write, they will just link it mentally to the video clip of your 5 minutes of fame

My sister in law once went on TV to complain about some subject, cant remember now what it was, but I do remember she came across as a complete hysterical woman on TV. Her argument to us sounded valid but it didn't come across like that on TV.

 

How about, "with the recent migrant crisis worsening, should we consider resuming use of Australia as a penal colony and/or migrant detention centre?"

 

You don't need to tell us what you will be wearing.

You'll be the one in the background, saying, "No, no, no it isn't, No, no, no it doesn't, No, no no it wasn't, No, no no it hasn't," or alternatively, "That never happened, you found that on a right wing site," and then throwing insults.

Oh, we'll recognise you OK. LOL

 

Can you dye your hair blue and shout?

 

Or wave a banner with scoobynet on it

 

What were you told in the Trump thread...

 

How about asking where the panel stands on Osborne's Jamie Oliver "inspired" sugar tax since it will do nothing to kerb sugary soft drink consumption and will only hit the poor and those less well off while sipping a can of Coke Zero(tax).

 

Ask if any of the panel feel guilty for being financially better off at the expense of the disabled and more vulnerable in our society?

 

Ask how they feel about the sugar tax driving people to drink stuff with aspartame in instead...which is banned in several US states as a carcinogen?

 

At the risk of being accused of denying another one of your facts...

Aspartame has been thoroughly tested by the FDA, found to be safe, and is not banned in any states ( as far as I can tell).

There have of course been many concerns about it, but I'm not qualified to comment of the validity of the science.

 

I always think Question Time should be sub-titled The UK Liars Championship.

I really dosen't matter what question you ask.If the subject reflects well on them they will try & take the credit & damn everyone else.If they don't like the question they will fudge the issue & blame everyone else on the panel for the problem.Oh,and don't expect to get any facts on any subject.


I saw a brief 2 minute news update on the Budget yesterday & it had 3 factual errors in it.So good luck with that lot.

 

If that's true, then I apologise.

Just looked, and they SAY it's as safe as can be..but continue to check.....

And an Italian study found an increase in blood-related cancers, in men, but because they couldn't replicate it in women, the drugs agencies said it was down to chance.

I think I'd rather not.

You only have to look back at Radium.........

 

Sorry to urinate on your French fries Martin, but Alcazar also has you beaten you on this, too...




(Only kidding Alc - it's all in good jest ).

 

heres a question for the whole panel ask them this
how can the public ever have any faith in people like yourselves caring about the public on low wages, when you all recieve large amounts for doing not a lot,the expences scandal was just a cover up you all have second jobs directorships etc and are very wealthy why would you ever care about us,
please at least attempt to answer all

 

yes interesting Aspartame does seem to be a "trigger" word for controversial views on the www

like you not qualified to comment but

wiki is usually a pretty good primary source

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

and it seems it is a safe as anything these days

I think the Americans get quite exercised over Fluoride in water too

 

In the audience, is not asking a question lol.

They have the questions and people allready picked.

otherwise it would be real questions that they wouldnt be able to answer!


Mart

 

They do get a chance to ask or offer opinion if the hold their hand up or maybe Martin will don the purple hair and just shout out his feelings

 

Back now, great evening. Met Mr Dibbllebum - lovely chap btw


Only 4 questions tonight asked (out of 8 selected) none of mine unfortunately...


You can look forward to a questions on


Cuts to disability allowance vs corporate tax cuts
Academy Schools
Sugar Tax
EU Referendum

 

Did the camera pick you out at all, when cutting to shots of the audience?

 

Could that have been Saccharin? (which diet coke used to use and mix with aspartame until they switched completely to Nutrasweet) otherwise known as E954 in Europe.

That did carry a cancer health warning on packaging in the USA (most notable on "Sweet 'n Low" ) , but apparently that's since been lifted. And they did try to ban it at one point under federal law (Federal meaning it would be banned in the whole of the USA).

It is banned in Canada (or at least it was until recently).

 

Martin, I thought you were the guy in bright yellow 3-piece suit who did speak something a couple of times. Also, I think that that Tory Nicky woman is actually George Osbone in female clothing.

 

No my taste in clothes isn't that exotic
