I ran across Question Time randomly on YouTube back when David Dimbleby was the host. The idea of having various leaders and famous people weigh in before a live audience who can ask them questions and express opinions in a different city every week is sheer genius.
It's a little like Bill Maher without the crappy jokes by an obnoxious host and with audience participation instead ... a sensible trade-off, though I still enjoy Bill Maher between fits of yelling at the TV.
But, yeah, you guys are now suffering from the oligarchic takeover that the US is, and the same retrograde neanderthals at the bottom defending the ancient past. Still, I think I'd prefer to live there than here ... the US is going to hit crisis at some point and it is not going to be pleasant.
Nigel Farage is an interesting guy. I have to admire his cleverness, and while I agree with some of what he says when he says it moderately, the reality of the guy is that he is just a shill for hidden interests.
Were you a stay or leave?

Nigel Farage is one of the few people where as soon as he appears I swear aloud at the screen and turn over. Yet another very privileged 'man of the people' manipulative twat of the first order.

I agree, but I find him fascinating to listen to. He is like Trump in that way - and to me, turning away, doesn't help matters. I try to figure out how they do it. Farage was disgusting in he way he panders and lied for Brexit. He is like your Trump or Roger Stone ... working away dedicatedly to hurt the interests of the people.
