BBC need to learn rhe the meaning of impartiality
How were they partial?
Give it a rest. This is the first time in months that they haven’t had someone from a shady right wing think tank or client media (GB News or Mail or similar), maybe because neither wanted to travel all the way up to Aberdeen from the depths of hell where they reside.
SNP have no idea about impartiality, they have one pipe dream of an agenda
The utter hypocrisy of the panel, still blaming the other party in a point scoring match.
The country deserves better when you think they are our public servants telling us their message, when they should be listening to ours.
What is your message?
@@ptv8113 call a election
Well said
@@ptv8113 My message? There needs to be serious change in our political system. It’s a serious role as you are representing your constituents, it requires a sense of duty, a desire to serve others and moral values.
All of which are lacking in politicians today.
Most people go into politics for the right reasons, unfortunately people get into politics for the wrong reasons, since you have to emulate the old guard for them to select you.
Party manifestos are the lies they want you to hear and there is no accountability other than being voted out. But since the public vote according to the colour of the rosette, just means they get sent into shadow government and still draw a wage from the public purse. How is that being held to account?
The system is bust and the insanity is, we keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.
I am fed up of seeing the public milked, farmed and fleeced like cattle, so politicians and their mates can engorge themselves to the country’s detriment.
Direct Democracy
Scottish a and e I can only praise. I was in and out within 2 hours when I fell and fractured my hand. I got x-rayed , given a splint and received excellent care
I almost died last year and am incredibly thankful I was in a Scottish hospital and not stuck down south
They really love Alex lol. He got a clap every time.....even when he comes in late 😂
33:08 - Fiona Bruce decides she should tell everyone all about the Cass Review, and then does nothing of the sort....
The Cass Review is a pack of lies and misdirection
"If you want independence you have to demonstrate that you can govern well" Really?? Have you lost your mind? The audacity!
I think he meant that enough people won't actually support it unless the people who would end up being the government were actually good at it.
I don't really know if they are or not, but it doesn't seem an unreasonable analysis of what might contribute to losing the referendum
@@tomcapping2136 you're probably right, but that is not understanding that independence is not like an election. The referendum isn't to vote for the "best candidate" to manage Scottish democracy, it's to decide what kind of democracy the Scottish ppl want to begin with. You don't "manage" democracy, you reclaim it. But I do get your point.
@@fimanuactually I think @tomcapping is right. I for one won’t vote for independence because the Scottish politicians are ALL childish, narcissistic, self absorbed idiots, plus the blame game is so bloody boring, they have very little interest in governing Scotland well and therefore have little to no regard for the Scottish people. Salmond has always been a fantastic economist and I would trust him fully in that respect but nothing else. Labour, well absolutely nothing of interest there, they will sell Scotland doon the river!
Prior to the SNP being in power in Scotland , we were consistently warned of the danger of the sky falling in on us if an SNP government were to happen. That has not happened, or certainly no more so than it has with a decade and more of Tory rule in Westminster. Independence NOW!!!!
@@davgat79 aye and now you/we can all see what happens when the sky falls, we are bloody living it!!!!
I stopped watching this programme after years of bias during the Brexit period and thereafter. The BBC is so clearly biased it is not worth watching and I haven’t even watched this clip, 😂😂
Both sides of the spectrum think the BBC is biased, that says to me that it's as impartial as it can be.
@@0saintclark0 even ex BBC presenters say that it is biased, it is not contentious except from equally biased people.
Brexit was based on bogus information rammed down our throats which represented nothing !
Fiona is the worst journalist to anchor qt
Misogyny
Shes fit tho
@@Gavin48 err how is it ?
No-one has slagged her off for being a woman. Just the wrong person for the job
@@helicoptergunshipwit? You have got to be kidding 😂
Get rid of that Fiona Bruce.😡🤦♀️
`Try being a nice person.
" but we really must not delay these questions any longer so i will interupt you every two minutes whatever you are explaining "
Completely agree. She doesn't seem to be in control
There are too many guest as well in my opinion
Well said
Why?
I think FIona had one too many before the programme. She is talking too much and lost control.
What is the point of Anas Sarwar? 😂
Another thorn in the side !
Not wanting independence is akin to the house "cats" not wanting freedom
I feel so sorry that Alex Salmond is no longer in the SNP. He, along with so many other excellent SNP politicians, make an enviable cast of players who work in the best interests of Scotland!
Still didn’t win the referendum m couldn’t have been that good
Hang on, Ive lived in Scotland all my life, and know very well the Aberdonian Dorrich accent, even the posher versions, but damn, 99% of this audience has English Accents. BBC impartiallity at its finest
😅😅😅😅😅
The pained look on the face of Fiona Bruce as she listens to Stephen Flynn speaking about Scottish independence reminds me of the way my ex-wife used to look at me every time I opened my mouth. Scotland, it's time for a divorce! 😂
Go for it!
Love, Norway 🇳🇴❤️🏴
And the sneering face of Flynn anytime anyone else talked, reminded me of my narcissistic ex husband.
Love from Scotland 🏴

@janecooke9151 You're not Scottish, you're a tory bot, so just trot on.. you're fooling nobody with an ounce of common sense.
Another fine episode of Answer The F****** Question Time.
Be brief she tells the guests so i can grab more airtime for myself. Get victoria derbyshire in instead. I am going to get stopwatch out next week and find total percentage of prog time she takes up for herself.
Youre just copying someone else ask for derbyshire. Everyone keeps saying that. Be original
@@helicoptergunship john bercow (hugely entertaining), Andrew Neal (gravitas) and Andrew Marr (immediate fact check). All are intelligent enough to rise above partisanship, hugely knowledgeable and strong enough to allow heated debate rather than milksop conversation we get now. Let's hear your suggestions Mr Critique. Put your money where your big mouth is.
@@catherinehanner284 john bercow (politician, not a journalist. I'd be happy to see him back as speaker to replace the useless hoyle), andrew neil (biased, brillo pad haired chairman of the spectator) andrew marr (gimp). My suggestion is to keep fiona bruce there because shes sexy.
Who elected Anas Sarwar?
I would guess Scottish labour?
He was elected by his constituency and chosen as first leader by the party..pretty simple
The Scottish people voted for him in the lists
@@metalthrashingmatt he is not a constituency MSP. He was elected through the list.
he's a lister
Thanks for posting
Great to see discussions like this but I was baffled by the number of great questions from the audience being completely ignored by Fiona. I find it arrogant to ignore somebody's question for any reason... and sometimes when she didn't like the question, she just moved on to the next person and then the first question never got answered. Why?! :(
That Scottish bloke (Flinn) did lot's of interrupting when other fellow panelists were talking, but got miffed when one of them tried to interrupt him . .
Watched 20 minutes of this just to remind me why I cut the aerial cable to my TV and no longer pay the licence fee.
What about the millions lost by selling the ground off to other companies. WHO bought it for 84 million then told them that the Scot’s gov would buy the electricity at going rates costing the Scot’s. Billions of pounds. Going over seas
All these Career Politicians are playing with peoples lives, Ian Dale is the only one that brings logic in the group. The rest is why this country of UK is in a mess.
the Tories said they would stand up for the miners, the steel workers and the ship builders and look how that panned out
We have 50% of the oil we need found ready to pump, in the Falkland Islands,, why aren’t we using it?
i'm the only women on the panel plz allow me more time, psmsl that she got away with that
Noted how many times F Bruce interuppted Steven Flynn !
Me too. Someone recommended it as 21 times. So pro unionist. Apalling
Meant recorded
The look says it all a disinterested Tory and Bruce's face screwed up with her right wing Tory bias.
The Brexit Broadcasting Corporation at its worst!
Salmond can we trust the teaching profession as you proclaim. If we take note of the blood scandal and the medical profession???
42:12 where can I get more information on this?
Be a parent and don't leave it to a teacher.
Was wee eck late because he was at the pie shop for a mince pie and chips ? 😊
No he was late as he was probably touching up some poor fucker
Charles you naughty but so funny ...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)
It’s like a young Tory party day out along with The young Farmers.What a shame that a few thousand highly paid oil workers are not going to have Jobs .What about the central belt and unemployment in the rest of Scotland.
Anyone noticed at the end the Tory didn’t mention wages and her party’s involvement on that?
It’s difficult not to discuss extremism over certain constitutional issues! Depending of the levels!
Stephen Flynn looks like he couldn't care less but lets blame the UK Government
SNP at 3:30 - he is the best minister now because the rest are just so bad
A Scottish Conservative has to be an oxymoron
Thought i had just switched on the muppet show, not sure im wrong now that ive listened to the pish spewing out this joke of a panel
The internet is going break us.
We collect 60 billion in taxes in Scotland and give it all to Westminster. We get 93 billion back. How can 5 million of us support the lifestyle we are used to.
Dry yer eyes
Stats give stats
You live within your means 😂 but pay taxes till u die !
Which people wouldn’t want independence and in what way?
Has John Swinney worked out what a woman is yet? If he finds out could he let me know.
How do you not know
@williamweb9782 just say you hate trans people. Don't be vague.
Fiona Bruce is a joke.
and you seem to be unpleasant
When they are lying they should be shut down !
@@mikij.1604Do you mean ripped or Bruce
@@mikij.1604quiet bootlicker
@@annenunney9907 'ripped' I think if anyone has something unpleasant to say about anyone, they should do it directly and not on a public platform where the person cannot defend themselves.. That is just cowardly. Just my thoughts!
What about roofs over ex servicemen and women who are sleeping on the streets. Eh.
It’s always westminsters. Fault. Never the SNP.
Because wastemonster controls the purse strings
What about the impact of immigration on housing. Its definitely an issue in Glasgow
It should have none.
However banks don't benefit from building council houses and councils don't get enough money from London to build more council houses.
We used to build 500,000 a year in 1953 now it's only 3,000 a year this year.
It's not your fellow worming class, it's them at the top who realise there's no profit in building council houses
I think labour and financial markets failure and or inadequacies and the privacy is very contenscious issue!
15:18 Gallacher kept her wee ‘No’ quiet….embarrassment
Is Fiona Bruce presenting or sitting there as a pained Unionist Lawyer...
The way the Tory played the I'm the only woman here was pretty ridiculous, I'm not certain what the relevance was?
Perhaps she would have preferred the whole panel to have been filled with Liz Trusses and Suella Bravermans 😂😅
but there are so so many types of sexual identification so how do we know she is the only woman on the panel ?
@mikeclifford7740
She said that like Batwoman!
Jeepers, where’s the conversational and dataset evidence?
FREE THE PEOPLE'S SCOTLAND FROM THE SNP
snp scotlands shame get rid
As its predictable what the panelists will say, whats the point of the programme?
Alex is premier league - everyone else is on the school team
Salmond was present, but quiet like Michael.
Stephen flynn is worse than Nicoliar the fish and himso useless
Sure he is ae
Try getting some englush lessons
Still watching terrestrial TV in the 21st century... Bunch of fools!
Ian Dale... immediate swipe right!
What we want is alba😅
That Flynn lad is quite dominant and i think the Tory girl quite likes that if im not mistaken - I wonder if the panel all go out for drinkypoos after the show - Would love to be a fly on the wall
Regarding climate change, regenerative agriculture & enhanced electrical conductors would go a long way towards solving the problem. Oceanic fertilisation with iron, would encourage plankton growth. Lastly desert reclaimation, would not only produce extra land for growing food, & giving people land to live on which to live, it also absorbs vast quantities of carbon dioxide.
The problem is that people still believe that carbon dioxide is the cause rather than a symptom of the planet warming. And they also believe there is too much of it when the reverse is true. Same thing for so many similar issues. We live in times where truths are lies and vice versa. An inverted world.
Who is the Tory with the caterpillars for eyebrows?
They are so inarticulate regarding gender ideology. It doesn't help that the government's definition of gender(or gender identity theory?), as read out by Fiona, includes the word gender; ie it is circular & therefore not an actual definition.
There is no such thing as 'gender ideology'. Trans people are people not a political agenda. Just leave them alone
Gender Ideology should not be taught per say but could in older children be age based and discussed by health professionals. Let children play whilst they can, they learn a great deal from playing.
Or just leave Trans children alone and stop using them as a political football
Another installment of lets gob it out time and not take any questions.
Stephen Flynn comes across as a real prick. Didn't recognise his own Hypocrisy in not calling for a holyrood election after calling for a general election in 2022 and interrupted everyone constantly, including Anas Sarwar about 5 seconds into his answer. Seems very self righteous and patronising, just like Rishi Sunak. I'm just surprised he didn't spend all of his time talking about Gaza this time...
He thinks men can get ovarian cancer. Talking about somebody's sister and calling her, 'HE' signaling his obedience of gender ideology cult.
I agree. Even more so than usual. It’s almost like he knows his days are numbered.
Yet as he was talking he was interrupted by the host, the Tory and the bald Englishman constantly? You have a point on the election tho, but don't do that selective listening nonsense
@@jn4126 good comment ,wise
He's not great on TV at all, always comes across badly. Salmond on the other always comes across well.
When they get to the age of accountability then they should be taught maths and science and Spanish?
Question time is always constantly tory heavy. Enough of bbc bias and more of the people
Ah! Flynn the gift that keeps on giving
and a shirt lifter
Stephen Flynn is such a cocky and arrogant character! Great speaker but infuriating and disrespectful to audience members and panel members.
Sorry, did alex salmond just suggest taking money from government pensions schemes to build social housing?? Perhaps i picked that up wrong
Getting pension funds to invest in social housing is what he meant. As cuts in Govt capital budgets are preventing further housing projects.
Flynn 😂😂
It does not take long to spot plants in the audience.
Since when has the north sea been Scottish? Its British if you leave Britain its not Scottish. Also England Wales and N.I is also suffering these issues.
Also why nuclear isn't the the obvious answer is ludicrous
You are ridiculous
Scots Law jurisdiction pertains..vis vis fishing..oil gas..et al...
See OIL OF SCOTLAND...
See.....uk ambassador [ex] Craig Murrsy
Never agreed to the union or a territorial union all resources and oil gas etc belong to the Scottish crown not Westminster
That's because you weren't alive when it happened 😊

Fiona Bruce just can't bear to let any SNP representative finish answering a question on this programme, ever.
I think you might just be an SNP supporter, and it's blinding you to her doing it to everyone else
@@tomcapping2136 why is this SNP given air time anyway. oxygen wasters. they want accept CASS report because their all pervs.
Sexuality and identity cannot be detached from values which a professional should not have a influence on... no teacher is an expert on sexuality or identity...'experts' like Stonewall and Mermaids have done more harm to children and education.
No children have been harmed. Puberty blockers are not dangerous. Denying Transition to Trans people leads to a life time of depression and suicidality. The Cass Review is a political hatchet job. The British need to stop bullying Trans people and just leave them alone
Salmon sitting on the fence
You had a fecking vote ,now you want another,then another till you get what you want
Yes
That’s true 😂
We also voted to stay in Europe what happened to that vote
“His brother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer” ummm 🤦🏻♀️

Fiona Bruce has to go.
Fiona is not impartial, very rude
Time for Flynn to go what shite he speaks
The Northeast of England NHS is doing better than any other NHS in the country.
Where Iain Dale is slightly inaccurate is that the SNP was originally a far right party. Its creators were nearly all fascist. It moved to the political left in the 1970s specifically to become a broad church. All that happened was the left excluded the center-right and threw out the far right.
BBC QT up in wee Scotland I agree Fiona is better on the Antiques Roadshow can this but her husband has a huge contract with his company worth millions with the Conservative government so she is a bit one sided. It's interesting to hear a Scottish view on the issues, the SNP have not always had a majority but have still managed, with Alex Salmond the old Scottish leader there, the Labour leader in Scotland alongside journalist Ian Dale and . Meghan Gallacher MSP who is good looking for Conservative you get a good mix of views. The SNP was formed in 1934 through the merger of the National Party of Scotland and the Scottish Party, with the Duke of Montrose and Cunninghame Graham as its first joint presidents. The Scottish National Party did not have a clear ideological position until the 1970s, when it sought to explicitly present itself as a social democratic party in terms of party policy and publicity. During the period from its foundation until the 1960s, the SNP was essentially a moderate centrist party.[114] Debate within the party focused more on the SNP being distinct as an all-Scotland national movement, with it being neither of the left nor the right, but constituting a new politics that sought to put Scotland first
The party suffered its first split during this period with John MacCormick leaving the party in 1942, owing to his failure to change the party's policy from supporting all-out independence to Home Rule at that year's conference in Glasgow. The 1960s, however, offered more electoral successes, with candidates polling credibly at Glasgow Bridgeton in 1961, West Lothian in 1962 and Glasgow Pollok in 1967. This foreshadowed Winnie Ewing's surprise victory in a by-election at the previously safe Labour seat of Hamilton. This brought the SNP to national prominence, leading to the establishment of the Kilbrandon Commission. The resulting Scotland Act 1978 would create a Scottish assembly, subject to a referendum. Labour, the Liberals and the SNP campaigned for a "yes" vote in the referendum on the Scotland Act and "yes" won a majority, but a threshold imposed by anti-devolution Labour MP George Cunningham requiring 40% of the electorate to be in favour was not reached due to low turnout.[38] When the government decided not to implement the Act, the SNP's MPs withdrew their support and voted to support Margaret Thatcher's motion of no confidence in Callaghan's government.[39] In the ensuing general election, the party experienced a large drop in its support. Reduced to just 2 MPs, the successes of October 1974 were not to be surpassed until the 2015 general election. Following this defeat, a period of internal strife occurred within the party, culminating with the formation of the left-wing 79 Group. Traditionalists within the party, centred around Winnie Ewing, by this time an MEP, responded by establishing the Campaign for Nationalism in Scotland which sought to ensure that the primary objective of the SNP was campaigning for independence without a traditional left-right orientation, even though this would have undone the work of figures such as William Wolfe, who developed a clearly social democratic policy platform throughout the 1970s. The mid-90s offered some successes for the party, with North East Scotland being gained at the 1994 European elections and the party securing a by-election at Perth and Kinross in 1995 after a near-miss at Monklands East the previous year.This meant that the party began as the official opposition in the parliament to a Labour-Liberal Democrat coalition government. In 2007, the SNP emerged as the largest party in the Scottish Parliament with 47 of 129 seats, narrowly ousting Scottish Labour with 46 seats and Alex Salmond becoming First Minister after ousting the Liberal Democrats in Gordon.
Question time is now as bad as the Eurovision Contest her become
Eurovision is better and less political, but Scotland don't enter they own act. It's also a lot more entertaining. Meghan Gallacher MSP a good lucking though.
Fiona Bruce is constantly interrupting - that's every show. Usually she interrupts those representing Labour much more and allows Tories to hog the aiir time. In this time Stephen Flynn is a top interrupter and really comes across as arrogant.
Our independence really can't come soon enough, ffs!

People were told that they would lose their pension if they voted for independance.
People were told that they would not be able to see relatives who lived in England should they vote for independance.
People were told that the only way they could remain part of the EU was if they voted against independance.
You don't have democracy when it's based on lies.
The English voted for Brexit yet we all have to live with their mistake.
pre 2016 referendum i was surprised by some east coast scottish fishermen falling for brexit and voting to leave , there was welsh that voted for it too , and it was i would argue a campaign of lies far bigger than those in the independence referendum, i would love another vote now folk know they was lied to as brexit affects the whole of the isles adversly
it wasnt though an english vote we have to recognise that ,millions in england voted remain
@@tomfinney3416 I wonder what Scottish finances would be like under 'independence', what with the lack of the Barnett formula and the more money per capita you currently get. Also, don't call it 'independence', if all you're hankering for is re-joining the EU, which would be telling you what laws you can and cannot have (check: asylum legislation in the Netherlands). Hypocrit or an idiot, which one are you?
England and wales voted for Brexit
@@gothicgolem2947 And they make the majority, population-wise, of the UK. So? The problem here isn't membership of the EU - after all, the independence referendum was held before the Brexit one. This is the SNP wanting to be 'independent', that is, to leave the UK, but also to remain/re-join the EU ('cause apparently that'd make Scotland 'independent'). Within the EU, which creates and enforces legislation on its member states, Scotland would have proportionately even smaller power to impose its views and needs than it does within the UK (given the member state quotas based on population size, etc.), but hey, that's apparently the SNP's vision of what 'independence' looks like.

@@dragoausmy point is that if Indy refs are generational, about every 25 years, then people should vote SNP every 20 odd years and meanwhile vote for non-obsessed parties who may well run the rest of government years better.
@@dragoaus Assuming you feel the same about Wales, North Ireland, and Cornwall, how about England declare *its* independence?

After the referendum, the Tories did historically tank the economy and take Scotland out of the EU helped by a conveyor belt of leaders that are borderline psychopaths. Labour are no different. Why the hell would i vote for parties who took away my EU citizenship.
