Big. Time.

EDIT: But he'll ignore a professional working in the housing sector and continue to believe it happens every where and all the time. And so will his supporters.
I have QT on pause, so I look forward to that bit. I bet the so called professional you mention is a right leftie anyway.

I agree.

I think part of the problem has been created by not letting unfettered market forces find their own level.

Companies would have to pay a living wage and rents would have to be affordable if the state wasn't plugging the gap. It should be no surprise that landlords and business will exploit the situation.

Everyone was rubbish.

Diane just churned out soundbite after soundbite, And Farage made hasty generalisations which came back to bite him on the arse big tim. Grayling tried to wriggle out of questions; he truly is slimey. Toynbee, as usual came out with a load of BS completely detached from reality. And Hughes was just there. I did agree with Grayling/Farage on one thing though - giving girls the pill at 13.

Is a 'right leftie' the same as a left rightie?

Why don't you go along sometime. You could wear a t-shirt with PP on it and we will all know its you and cheer you along. I would go but Dianne's wagging finger might intimidate me.

The girls in my form and year, some of them where right stunners and where probably the best girls I ever knew, you know where you stood with them more etc.

People that work in social housing, tend not to be right wing Tory's. Farage is quite right of course, they are all in denial.

Aye poor from all. I'd have to give it to the audience this week. Farage started off calm/composed but lost it big time with that part about the housing crisis - gradually got worse as the show went on. Abbott just par for the course - same old same old Abbs!. Grayling - where was he? Barely remember anything he said. Toynbee - didn't get much of a gist she cared about what was happening in the country - but happy to opine on it. Hughes may become the next Archbishop of Canterbury on this form!

Yes, they all brought tents with them and their own water, mobile sewage treatment system, power, schools, hospitals and jobs as their all self employed and never use the road or public transport. In fact they have had no impact at all, on the infrastructure of this country, whatsoever.

I think London weighting is becoming more and more relevant in salaries too.

I remember a time in the early 90s when a fully detached 5 bedroom home with double garage and huge gardens cost £145k. I cannot put my hand on my heart and say my flat is worth the price I'm paying for it. It's insanity. I question myself on it often!

Yeah I got that from his first answer.

Neil is already being tentative in the followup questions!

You can ask them about their expenses claims, for their houses. Didn't they pay off their mortgage, courtesy of the taxpayer, or have I misunderstood the system?

I've never seen someone blow it in 30 seconds the way Farage did. Toynbee and Abbott definetly blew it on the housing issue, as well though. Loved that lady that confronted Diane and Polly on this issue. I agree, Politicians, nil. Audience one. And that Vince Cable guy was so funny!

Maybe. I'd probably scuntinse Balls' on the economy, tbh. Cooper her women's issues.

Watching This Week. Can't believe the bloke on there atm stated the nation is ''gripped by Leveson''. More likely they are gripped by the crippingly cost of living.

LOL, all of them got demolished by Galloway last week. Mrs Balls got owned by him. That whole QT was a DA/GG. The only standout of the main parties, I hate to say was Tim Farron.

See. Neill knows his stuff when it comes to Sky. Understandable of course. Indeed, News International is the UK arm of News Corp. And which one would have owned Sky had the sale gone through may not have mattered much to most of the public but it's quite an interesting point.
