The Commentator also has an article on this 'questionable' Question Time time: I especially like one of the comments below the article: Marty Caine UKIP • 7 hours ago − They will need get David Bellamy to chair BBC Question Time soon with all those Labour plants in the audience

Last night (7.xi.13) was another blatant example. About 25% of the British people who bother to vote, vote for UKIP (depending on the election). Yet the BBC managed to get a QT audience almost all of whom were prepared (and allowed) to deride and disagree with everything Nigel Farage said.
The rest of the panel joined in the derision and interruption, so much so that the programme became unwatchable as four people shouting at once became incomprehensible.

Considering that Farage was outnumbered 5 to 1 on the panel, I thought he held it together very well, and out of all of them will probably have benefited the most from it. Considering he's basically the closest to being a real Conservative, one would have thought the Tory representative would have been less aggressive towards him. As it is, I think she probably lost a lot of votes for her party with her ridiculous outbursts, clearly trying to demonize Farage, but succeeding more in making herself appear a pathetic and desperate individual. There's more about their tussle in this article. I noticed when you look up the combined population of Bulgaria and Romania, one of the points of contention, the figure shown is 29 million as Farage stated, and not the 27.5 that she claimed. In any event, she was only trying to deflect his point by focussing on the least of what he said. For anybody interested, the programme can be seen again here..

It is not the first time there has been a "plant" in the audience and it is always when a UKIP member is on the panel.
DD has virtually no control over the panel and although I watch QT regularly, I find myself always shouting at my TV screen as BBC is so biased and left wing.
Nigel Farage tells it how it is. Nobody these days can voice their opinions of immigration without being called a racist.

Welcome dance2drop I notice that Boston is a Conservative consistuency, but that's never stopped the BBC before from making sure they get a majority left wing audience in. Judging by the Tory Soubry's reaction to Nigel, I'm wondering how Tory supporters will want to vote in future. Looking at this article from the Boston Standard, and one of the comments afterwards tells us this GussieG 4:17 PM on 08/11/2013 Having looked at QT again, I am more than bemused as to where the BBC got the audience from. I have lived here all my life and think I probably recognised 6 people at most. I was always under the impression that the EU was formed purely as a trade group. How come the members have let them interfere in virtually every aspect of our lives, not just immigration? Personally, I have nothing against regulated immigration, as the UK needs more workers. However, I do object to all and sundry coming when lots have no intention of working, just here to scrounge. Hats off to the foreign gent last night who stated that many immigrants don't want to integrate. That alone should be telling the politicians something!!!

On a slightly different QT rant, remember when Nick Griffin was on the panel ? OK I know he is not the flavour of the month, but it was like a witch hunt when he was on. DD was very rude and arrogant to him, the audience were booing him before he had even taken his seat. He had every right to be there and speak, regardless of his political beliefs Disgraceful night !

Why do beeb have so called "celebs" on the panel. Nothing against showbiz people, but most of them live on another planet. A couple of these I detest are Will Self and Germaine Greer. My most hated one quite recently was Russell Brand. What a plonker !

Not just celebs - but left wing mindset celebs. Simple reason for having them - they spout the BBC agenda, without making the BBC appear to be doing it. I agree with you completely about Brand and Self. What's scary is that there are always people in the audience who applaud their rubbish.

I'm glad you share my sentiments re the celebs. Sometimes I think it is just me who feels like this. There was another lady (with a slightly dark skin, if we are allowed to say that) ! who was on QT about a month back. Very left-wing, can't remember her first name, but I think her surname was also Greer. She got right up my nose ! Made me smile cos DD got her name wrong and called her Germaine ! She had a greasy chip on her shoulder. If she dislikes Britain as much as she made out on QT, then why doesn't she sod off to another country !

Just Google 'dregs of humanity' to get a full list of QT panelists.

;D for sure - at least the ones the BBC prefers under the pretext of being celebrities. Any time you feel the need to raise your blood pressure just check out the names on the various episodes.. If that doesn't do it, then just play any of the episodes on offer.

Just thought of another "pet hate" panellist on question time, although she has not been on for quite a while - is Shami Chakrabarti the human rights waller, she sends my blood pressure soaring !

She was such a regular feature on Question Time, and people who never really thought about the BBC agenda couldn't understand why, that I think is the reason the BBC realised they had better look for others to make similar noises. Mehdi Hasan anyone?

Oh yes, forgot about him - Mehdi Hasan - he is another one that seems to be on the panel a lot. Another one that makes me seethe

A recent Telegraph article on the subject of this thread, and also related to the story we covered here.
