Think I might be giving tonight's show a miss - even if it means I can't fill out my QT bingo card where tonight I have 'Article 50', 'Remoaners', 'Elite', 'Trump' and 'Will of the People'.”

Not "lied to" & "350 million on the NHS"?

Farage is at his best when confronted by the likes of Izzard and Self, he seems to enjoy himself debating when he is being heckled and baited, after years in the EU parliament he is used to it.

Wonder if they'll dare to allow anybody to raise the subject of the Casey Report, and if they do, will they try and drown it out with some other nonsense like the article 50 brexit stuff. I think I know the answer. I'll set record.

I wonder also if after last week's unexpectedly free audience they'll be back with their usual lefty PC bias?

I remember this happened after the 2015 general election. After the tories won unexpectedly and Ukip made a hit scoring more votes than the SNP, suddenly the audiences were a little less hostile and discussions involving ukip were much freer. It last about 3 or 4 weeks.

Will Self at his finest, and bitter about about Brexit.
He's dying to play the Brexit Racist card, but can't..........

Indicative of an underlying problem, I think. If more of us listened to people we "think" we disagree with on everything, we might find that sometimes at least parts of their viewpoints have some merit.
For instance, unlike most, I thought Emily Thornberry (who as a politician I detest) did reasonably well in parliament standing in for Corbyn at PMQ, and I was surprised by the decent performance of Lidington, a Tory I expected to irritate me.
A rigid blanking approach is responsible for entrenched views which lack depth on inspection.

1. Political correctness is good and how it should be.
2. If you were a regular QT viewer you'd know that this is utter nonsense. Typical right-wing nonsense. Play the bias card the minute your opinion is challenged and/or questioned.

Why is it good? If anything it stiffles debate and breeds resentment.

This question gets asked a lot - but why is multiple failed elected MP (and massive racist arsehole) Farage been on here more than any elected member of parliament?

Also - Mensch is one nasty creature

QT is inciting the nation by turning every QT into a debate about Brexit.

Why can't they talk about how we can heal the nation now? Move on Brexit is happening..

Well done Snowy, sovereignty. What about 'control of our boarders' (which we have any way), 'metropolitan elite' and 'bureaucrats'?

It is good because it tries to ensure that people express themselves in a non-offensive way. If as a by-product it helps to stamp out racism, homophobia etc than that is a good thing too. People want rights but with rights come responsibility.

Europhile? Remoaners? Brexit means Brexit? We know what we voted for?

QT is a joke these days, for both sides of the argument. It's just sound bites.

I thought politics was sound-bites? After all the only objective is to be elected and pick up lots of free money for doing heehaw.

I would much prefer to watch a proper debate. QT is just audience members asking near enough the same questions every week with the same sound bites given as answers from the panelists. Predictable squabbles. Meanwhile the mob in the audience boo like thugs and/or clap like seals. There is no debate.
