What are you angry about malumbu?


I can't remember where it was the last time it was in South London, though I do remember someone reporting here that the panel were later found eating somewhere in the Dulwich area. Someone will probably find the thread or even remember.

Harris Academy, Peckham. Maybe RH can get you a front row seat, and back stage pass..

Apologies, my use of English is not good due to the EU. It will be better when we leave. We will also start brewing proper English beer again like Double Diamond and Red Barrel which sadly Brussels outlawed due to the lack of diamondsbarrels in the beer. A good topic of conversation when I bump into Nige again at a Westminster pub

Unless he's migrated to the States by then.

I hate this programme, it attracts extreme guardianista liberal elitists for the most part, and a handful of right wing nationalist fanatics on the other. There's no sensible middle ground, and the biased panel try to 'out do-gooder' each other, it's painful to watch. Time the BBC retired this show.

Don't they boast about how representative the audience is.


It's not at it's best however - Robin Day - he was a presenter :)

They do seem to have a problem with the chair.


But for me the truly dire aspect of this programme (as with the appalling Newsnight) is that it makes a pretence of serious discussion. Yet the format only allows soundbites. So we get people on it who are willing to give them.


Can you imagine a serious thinker participating in this programme? How could they even begin to construct an argument in the slots available?


The BBC is supposed to provide public service: in current affairs it has long since stopped even trying in the concern for 'audience'.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
