I have given up watching Question Time as it was getting too agitated. I was getting so pissed off every Thursday evening that I was on the verge of breaking something. Such apploplexsysms of rage weren’t good for my heart, and led to Lyn giving me curious, disapproving looks. It seems I was right to stop, as this clip from last night’s show might well have had me destroying the TV. In it, a woman from the audience calls Tory scumbag Daniel Hannan up on tory cuts, outlining the damage and suffering they were causing while the wealthy were getting a tax cut. The venom, sadness and anger in what the lady was very obvious; but instead of apologising for causing so much harm as anyone with a shred of humanity would, Hannan tried to blame the EU for his crimes. While we contribute to the EU budget, the investment the UK gets from being a member is worth more, so for him to try to deflect the anger he and his party are rightly due onto his hate figure is utterly crass. The tories refuse to even acknowledge that what they are doing is hurting people who cannot defend themselves. He was trying to manipulate the audiences anger for his own ends – the EU has nothing to do with cuts born entirely of the tories’ greed-based, inhumane ideology. I’m deeply ashamed that we now have such insults to humanity governing the country.
