Being selective about participants may or may not happen on Radio 5, but it certainly happens on #bbcqt and with bbc wm's broadcaster in Scotland.
Question on #BBCQT about where to sit in a garden to enjoy it, from someone with #LongCovid, who can't do most gardening activities anymore, had a really disappointing answer from all the panelists: I never rest in the garden!
Closest to a real answer was 'I never have time to sit down, but garden sofas are great, aren't they?'
Like, have a MODICUM of sensitivity. And no, playing a banjo is not resting! I can't remember the last time I had energy to play my guitar! #MECFS

'British Borking Corporation'
'Borking' - My new word for today.
Once I saw its meaning I realised that the second 'B' of BBC easily can be for' Borking'
Or it could become 'British Borking Broadcast Corporation - BBBC
Someone tell me if they start getting any better…I may begin to tune in again…the level of political discourse in this country is so, so bad

Lord of Irony: @natehiggins The current affairs shows, #bbcqt, #anyquestions and Sunday morning regulars are still platforming the hard or even far Right (reform, ukip, Tory and Labour) and ignoring the popular support of @TheGreenParty.

Kate Andrews #BBCQT: manipulative figures hide her #NHS agenda https://www.thecanary.co/uk/2023/07/07/kate-andrews-bbcqt-appearance-was-manipulative-nhs-mind-games-dressed-up-as-softly-spoken-concern/
Absolute nonsense from the liar and hypocrite Dale Vince. A nurse’s average salary is £35k. After tax & NI it’s over £27k. That means they pay 23% tax.
Sunak earned £330k salary in the last tax year. He paid £107k in tax ie. 32%
Yes he did make capital gains on investments… https://n.respublicae.eu/i/web/status/1677534286482755586

The London Economic: "Tax the rich. We could raise £50 billion if we more fairly taxed people with more than £10 million in assets. A nurse pays 50% of their income in tax. Millionaires like Rishi Sunak pay 20%." says @dalevince on #BBCQT ☟ https://t.co/s5YJ46ov7j

The U.K. was going forward on green energy, we were leading. Then David Cameron took us backwards and it’s been a lost opportunity ever since. Pitiful. https://n.respublicae.eu/nwbylines/status/1677049901069352960

There’s something very sinister about Kate Andrews (who represents nobody) being allowed to monologue about how privatising the NHS would be a good thing & go completely unchallenged, when the democratically elected Labour representative on the panel gets interrupted 5 seconds into her first answer & is barely allowed to finish a sentence throughout the entire show.

I did watch #bbcqt yesterday night - but , only because #dalevince was on the panel. Fortunately, his was the voice of reason and he managed to cut through the clatter of Tory/New, new Labour ping pong.
So @DaleVince was only 1 talking sense about climate change, NHS, taxing the rich & failure of privatisation - all @TheGreenParty policies
But he gives Labour £1.5m who want MORE privatisation in NHS, wont tax rich more & have delayed their pathetic Climate Change action

#KateAndrews is a shape shifter ghoul/Sent by Brits demon as a punishment tool/Her colonial voice gives us no choice/That "Bloodsucking our polity/You've no right to inane jollity/With gob open wide/For lucre on the side/You'll turn up anywhere/If Tory's in the chair!" #bbcqt
@fkamiah17 It’s taken far too long. Did they have to reach a critical mass of #tories before they would even look at this? And what about #tories writing (or ghost-writing) regular columns in papers? Tory supporters wife (Fiona Bruce) presenting several shows including ones that should be impartial like #bbcqt ?
Brilliantly put.

Farrukh: Lady in green, "As a child I couldn't understand how the nazis came to power. And now I understand it... Truss and Kwarteng tanked the economy, my daughter is paying £400 more a month for her mortgage. They are deflecting all of that by talking about small boats." #BBCQT https://t.co/m8nky1hNdw
