Question Time

If a plane is on a treadmill can it take off?
If a sandwich is cut in half, do you now have two sandwiches?
Is my corner sofa chavvy?

Did you get on the air, OP?

Just the back of my head. I did ask a question at the beginning but this was part of the panel warmup and not part of the broadcast.

The recording finished at 9:45, not leaving much time for editing. They did remove some of the booing Clive Lewis received when he moved the Trump vs Kim Jong Un question onto Tories and the NHS.

'Dave' did come and speak to us before and after the event, seemed like a genuinely nice chap.
 
Damn. Shame you couldn't ask if global warming is leading to a dangerous increase in the number of queen wasps. :(

Its nice for once hearing it from a real persons (non media people) point of view that was actually there. I haven't watched Question Time in months now. Just simply cannot tolerate the horse manure.

Interesting. He always appeared like a right ass. I guess that is what camera performing is all about.

Thinking about asking what the contents of the letter, written by Prime Minister Corbyn, to UK submarine commanders would say in the event of the UK getting wiped off the map. From his recent interview on the Andrew Marr show, he'd order them to organise and attend a peace conference rather than perform a retaliatory strike.

How would such a letter be delivered and to whom if as you say the UK is wiped off the map?

Trident is the UK nuclear weapons capability stored on submarines which could be anywhere in the world at any time. They would likely be fine in the event of a nuclear strike against the UK. The letter being referred to is written on the PM's first day in office and stored in each submarine. It contains instructions on what to do if the UK is hit by a nuclear strike, wiping out the entire government and military command structure. Corbyn has said his letter won't instruct the submarine commanders to fire back.

I can't say I'm hugely worried. A lot has been made of a letter that's incredibly unlikely to ever be read. WWIII would need to break out. It would need to go nuclear. We'd have to be pretty much wiped off the map to ensure there's nobody left that's capable of giving orders. And, through this entire mess, Corbyn would need to command the confidence of Parliament. In the event that WWIII happens, I expect a Prime Minister Corbyn would go the way of Chamberlain; resigning early in the war, replaced by someone more suited to leadership in a major conflict.
