The end of May

Let's hope so.
#Where's May?

Great play on words in the title Nems. 
A rare greenie from me to you.

Would you face a completely biased audience ?

Serious question?

Running a country a few days after a major terrorist bombing outrage that killed 22 people and also actively preparing for our biggest political and economic upheaval in generations?

What is often forgotten is that while other party leaders and their candidates are just that - Parliamentary candidates - May is still PM and the rest of her ministerial team are still active and working departmental office holders.

Personally, my heart wishes she had been there because it was obvious that her absence would attract the predictable and ridiculous howls of "cowardice", but my head understands why her team at Tory HQ would have advised against it, because it was inevitable that any debate of this nature would turn into a very one-sided yah-boo slanging match, with the predominantly Left-leaning little fish minority leaders swimming in the wake of Labour.

It was also perfectly obvious to me that the audience would turn out to be overwhelmingly Left wing, mainly Labour-supporting, because I know from personal experience that the team of researchers who work on such programmes, including Question Time, are often very young folk not long out of university and among whom political zealotry is very common.

I was once asked to provide contact details of half a dozen farmers who would be willing to take part in an edition of Question Time on which one of the panel members was a junior minister from the Environment Department.

"...and I don't want a bunch of rich Tories..." he said quite openly and bluntly.

I don't think he appreciated the irony when I asked whether he had told my opposite number from the farmworkers' union, who were also among the invitees, "...and did you also tell them that you didn't want a bunch of ranting Marxists?"

why on earth would she need to be there, they did her job for her showing what an omnishambles a labour led coalition of chaos would be.

4 of the 7 involved in 15 to 1 have 13 mp's between them, what is the point of them being there at all.
2 parties are nationalists who's only interest is in their own little fiefdoms, although woods cant even get the welsh to vote for her. And 1 is the greens who are irrelevant in politics.

Amber rudd stood the tories corner rather well, and even nuttell, when he wasn't being shouted down by the illiberls amde a few good points.
He would have made a better fist of it if he had urged his voters to support the tories.
