Your imagination is going into overdrive.
Not really. Plenty of people seem happy to speculate that Trump will somehow contrive to start WW3 with Russia; therefore Britain would inevitably be involved in such a conflict.

In which case, which section of the population would be most likely to stand up and volunteer to defend this country? Serious question.

I love Pete's music, but that was the most awkward thing I've seen TV for some time. What were they thinking inviting him on the show?

The radio version of Question Time is excellent right now.
Every line into Five Live is jammed solid with "hundreds of phone calls" wanting to talk about the surge of Poundshop Racists on our streets since Brexit. (And before Brexit).

Stephen Nolan is shocked. I guess there are more thick racists in the UK than he had realised.

I don't know where people get that from. It would have been Hillary Clinton, not Trump, who would have kept on provoking Russia after Obama. She is the warmonger.

From what I have read, the BBC encourages this type of behaviour - cocaine for staff at their desks.

In Stephen Nolan's world everyone is a racist. What's a Poundshop racist?

A pathetic excuse for humanity who tells a Black Person to "go home" shortly after a Referendum on our membership of the European Union.
(AKA thick racist)

Nolan is saying he is shocked at the reports from callers so I am struggling to make sense of your comment.

It's all wine and roses until Vlad says Niet. Then Trumpy boy goes off in the huff.
Vlad then makes a deal that is good for Russia, complements Trump.
Trump is flatterred. Vlad laughs.
Still he's better than LePen, Wilders, Robinson; Farage, Nuttal etc.

I can't agree MC.

President Putin has tried over the years to extend his hand of friendship to President Obama. All to no avail, of course. Putin gets the cold hard stare treatment from Obama in its place. It's such a shame.

What a deathly silence for the postnatal distress topic as Dimbledy wanted to skip right past that. Shocking!

Not a care or word except the certain mothers who went through it in the audience.

That was incredibly uncomfortable wasn't it? I don't think I've ever seen such a complete lack of response on QT before - a serious ***tumbleweed*** moment. Shocking really as it is a serious subject.

Question 1: Is Trump worth being Time man of the year?
Yes

I detest Will Self. Anything interesting he has to say is drowned out by his sneering, arsey nature. I could happily punch him right in the face.
Join the queue

Self's first answer comprises a confused and unecessary but entirely predictable dig at Farage. Bore off..
It was very nasty but NIgel just laughed at him.

Farage is very naive about Putin.
That's not what I heard

rolleyes
Why should Jo Cox have been person of the year?
Nobody outside the UK has heard of her

Question 2: Can a Brexit deal be achieved in 2 years?
Why not !!!!!

This Labour MP is annoying, the way he speaks is so patronising.
and sleep enducing

The absolute cheek of Farage:

"Norwegian style is not what the people voted for"

No you piece of shit - they voted based on the lies you and your pals spun about the NHS and immigration.

What an utter bastard he is
No they voted to leave the EU

I've just seen Pete Docherty ison this week. Why? He's just a guy with a heroin habit who wrote some awful songs. Hashe got an album out?
I have no idea why he is there and neither does he

I agree with Louise there. It is about controlled fair immigration.
Me too

Question 3: Should we raise income tax?
No. We should collect more income tax
I was going to say another body orifice.
I'm sick of hearing people say they were lied to because of the £350 million promised to the NHS. I voted to leave BUT it wasn't based on that £350 million but for other significant reasons. Any intelligent person knew a whopping £350 million had NOT been promised at all.
The PM never did

If we raise the tax for the rich then these people who run businesses and who employ people will just leave the country. And that would mean unemployment going up
This

Wimpey is still around but they are mainly in the southern like Wymouth but I think they have 2 stores in Birkenhead and Huddersfield
and Milford Common

Labour MP just ignored that Lady's question.
Labout tactics

Empire built on piracy. slavery and drug running.
Way to go.
America saved Britain in WW2
It was a joint effort

Seems that clown Self wanted to goad Farage at every opportunity , shame he's not smart enough to actually do it!
Well described

Err, no. Miriam González Durántez is very clearly a Spanish name.
Her English is poor

Blimey, l didn't realise that Mrs Clegg was such a vapid europhile.
It came as a shock to me

Nick Clegg is one lucky man

Gorgeous wife and she is a Remainer
But he has to call Tim Farron "Boss"

I imagine underneath it all Cleggy is a rabid leaver.
Trouble is to qualify for a date with Miriam he had to 'appear' to be a liberal

Why do you think he had no problem in kicking tuition fees into the long grass at the first opportunity........his true colours made an appearance
We still have tuition fees

I don't know where people get that from. It would have been Hillary Clinton, not Trump, who would have kept on provoking Russia after Obama. She is the warmonger.
I agree

What a deathly silence for the postnatal distress topic as Dimbledy wanted to skip right past that. Shocking!

Not a care or word except the certain mothers who went through it in the audience.
It is a serious subject but it would have been going off topic

Sarah Wollaston (Conservative Chair of the Health Select Committee)...Nice lady
Richard Burgon (Labour Shadow Justice Secretary)..Demonstrated the poor quality of the opposition
Nigel Farage (Former Leader of UKIP)....The star
Will Self (Novelist)....Smug, arrogant rude bore
Louise Mensch (Author & Commentator)...Not too bad at all

Has it occurred to anyone, that Self is quite deliberately rude ? He writes for a living, gets loadsa feedback, knows exactly the effect of what he says ........... The thing he's NOT trying to do is win votes ..........

Labour anti establishment

hahahahahahahahahaha
With Corbyn they are, but those established figures such as Owen Thingy they were not. Let's hope Momentum the anti establishment will stop the scary people who know what they are doing

I don't remember rich people leaving the country when income tax was 60% under Thatcher.

How can a career MP with a middle class background and education and who's done nothing and knows nothing but backbench politics for over 30 years be anything but establishment?

That's because only flaky millennials and workshy students phone in and listen to 5 live phone ins.

You know how we were talking about Russia last night? Well, I can't think of anywhere else to highlight this article:

Putin on the style: Russian leader's soldiers of tomorrow take to the floor with their partners at the International Kremlin Ball
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...adet-Ball.html

How absolutely stunning are the photos in this link? It looks like something out of a nineteenth-century Russian novel.

Those uniforms the chaps are wearing are gorgeous, as are the chaps themselves. And just look at the girls in their beautiful ball gowns.

Edit.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/...1233549328.jpg

And this photo looks like it has come straight out of a Jane Austen novel. Hmmm. Sense and Sensibility perhaps?

Fabulous!
