Only the audience inspire passion or connection. Humanity. The usual preposterous jumble that you see in any of our towns, even if groomed and prepped by Auntie, they comparatively throb with authenticity opposite us, across the shark-eyed bank of cumbersome cameras.
Blimey, that's good writing!

I think there was a carefully planned editorial decision by the BBC to subtly **** Brand over by allowing at least one boorish and irrational person into the audience who was on Brand's side of the argument in order to denigrate his arguments by association. Also, every other panellist was given the opportunity on at least two occasions to make personal digs at Brand's integrity. But, Brand was not given the opportunity to respond to those digs. Nevertheless, despite this, I still think he made a good show of himself. What was also glaring by omission was any mention whatsoever of the CIA report in torture.

We are all being managed.
Agree entirely. QT is very mild entertainment, subtly managed.

I didn't find either of the two MPs convincing at all, not in the least; they proved the wafer-thin divide between Lab and Con is still present.

Farage was smoothly sinister, never actually saying anything.

At least you know RB is honest and sincere, even if he's not 'mature' enough for some. :roll:
