    Ok, trying to be devil's advocate here.

    Could it just be that that particular part of our society are more vocal, noisy and more likely to be interested in going on TV to get their views aired?

    Scotland DID vote No, but I'd imagine the vast majority of those who did so, did so quietly. Many older folk, many folk who don't really want to discuss their politics but they were asked a question and answered accordingly.

    How representative should the audience be of the area the show is filmed in?

    My favourite Question Time moments (I didn't see it last night) have often been when SNP politicians have made excellent points in places like Bognor Regis only to be greeted by a quite delicious silence.
    No. When you apply the send a questionnaire asking whether you are a member of a political organisation and how you voted in the referendums. You can refuse to answer but good luck with that.

    Is it recommended that I remove all heavy objects from my immediate vicinity if I watch it later?
    Honestly, it is not even vaguely covered up now. It is blatant propaganda. Nothing impartial about it in the slightest.

    If only. I certainly believe there is enough people being duped who could really make the difference. But the vast majority of them know it's propaganda and are quite happy with it, as it fits into their totalitarian ideology.

    Interesting that he has worn a white shirt and a red shirt on the show and supports England wherever they're playing (even in Russia).

    Also interesting that he wears an orange shirt on the show and just so happens to be a member of a flute band he started.

    I just can't piece it all together.

    The Porridge Pravda. Very balanced indeed.
    Jeez, I posted that two months ago. Have you just come out of hibernation?

    How about the article itself, do you agree with what the FM did, and if not, why?

    He's a dyed in the wool, unionist. Up to his knees in it every week.

    I'm surprised some on here are supporting him, and his politics, but hey ho, each to there own.

    The orange order tentacles reach far and wide.

    what is actually wrong with that opinion - on an informal football chat forum?

    I'm sure if that was directed at any other religious group there would be uproar on here but seeing at its a protestant unionist then they are fair game to be slated?

    it is about the narrow minded bigoted views on display for this character and associates, not the religion...

    That's just utter pish. I abhor racism and bigotry in all its forms. He is a member of at least one of the most public, outwardly bigoted organisations in Scotland. Do you think that is acceptable, and also do you think it's right that the BBC keep on giving him a platform to express his views? I'm also pretty sure judging by what I have seen of him the OO won't be his only group that most would find distasteful at least

    You may not agree with his views but he has a right to them as anyone else has a right to theirs.

    I think might be deemed to be Orangephobia.

    No one is disputing he has a right to those views but he has been accepted into a show that is meant to be a balloted effort 4 times now. Also no one has even questioned his political stance nor his alliegiance to a sectarian organisation. And there is NO WAY the BBC don't know all this. Why don't they invite him onto the panel so that he can be questioned? He is clearly some sort of spokesman for the OO//far right/unionists he also stood as a UKIP candidate so he is clearly political. Is it because it's easier to allow him to spout rhetoric than allow questions to be asked of him. I would love to see him on stage, I would bet he would be ripped to bits and make a total James Hunt of himself.

    You're right in a way, he does have a right to express his views, so surely that means others do as well ... So the piece about where, on question time he ranted on about the SNP for over a minute and the SNP mp reply was cut off after 7 seconds of their response.... You seem to be saying that's balanced and both are being given the same rights?

    Good post.

    This dude appearing 4 times is just ridiculous, as are some of his views and antics by the sound of it.

    I think the BBC gets a hard time from both ‘sides’ sometimes but this would appear to be indefensible really.

    QT should be a opportunity for members of the public to ask some serious questions to the panel. Doesn’t seem too hard to do so in a balanced and appropriate manner, which will of course throw up a few random roasters along the way. This seems anything but balanced or appropriate.

    Oh dear,

    Next, he'd have been asking what school I went to. It's a pity he's left, as I was looking for a good flag debate after my football training.

    You've posted on this thread seven times since I asked you a question, but you haven't answered it. Why is that?

    QT is made by an independent company. The owner is a know right winger.

    I stopped watching this biased ***** some time ago.

    That crowd makes you totally forget that Motherwell voted YES and strongly rejected Brexit. There also seems to be several people in that crowd who live in several different cities across Scotland, seeing as they keep getting on time and time again.

    Amazing how they manage to fill a crowd with hard-right, orange order member, flute band creating, UKIP candidates who make up such a tiny minority of Scotlands views.

    the OO goat from last night would love this wee clip, indeed i'm sure he would carry out the same threats to anyone opposing his cretinous views, wonder if it's poster tony from above in his car
