But to actively try to undermine when he is making perfectly reasonable points is ludicrous. Either contradict him and argue your point, or let him speak without silly attempts at undermining.

Zia Yusuf by far the best, most common sense, robust responses, yet gets barely any applause, but does get gaslighting 'puzzled faces' from Fiona Bruce and her limp attempts at not understanding his very clear answers.

Kier stammer is not putting his money where is mouth is… He is putting his mouth where the money is 🤷‍♀️

[@davidwestley007]

Well said

[@brianbell3836]

What does that mean?

[@desmonddesmonddesmond9731]

​@@brianbell3836 "Putting your mouth where your money is" suggests prioritizing words or promises over actual financial investment or action. It might imply that someone is more willing to talk a big game without following through with the necessary support or investment, essentially putting emphasis on verbal claims rather than tangible contributions. It highlights a potential disconnect between what someone says and what they actually do... "Keir 'Two Tier' 'Stammer' Stalin" is a prime example of someone who does this. He talks a good game but does f*ckall, which, in the process, puts our nation in jeopardy of total collapse. There are a couple things to remember: first of all, the BBC is part of the UK 'propaganda media network' which has a crucial role in steering opinions to favour the incumebent government. Examples of other networks that are paid huge sums of government money to be their puppet speakers include Channel 4 and ITV. Channel 4 was paid an unknown figure by the Conservatives whilst they were campaigning during the G.E, for a botched attempt at smearing the Reform UK Party (a shamefully egregious false claim that the party is nazified/racist). Here are some psychological tactics that could be used to sway viewers' opinions in a political context: Presenting information in a way that emphasizes certain aspects over others can shape perceptions. For instance, highlighting the positive impacts of the incumbent government's policies while downplaying any negative consequences. Using a carefully selected audience that reflects a bias toward the incumbent government can create an echo chamber. If the audience reacts positively to certain points, it can influence viewers at home. Altering lighting and camera angles can affect how politicians are perceived. Softer lighting can make someone appear more trustworthy, while harsh lighting can highlight flaws. Curating questions that favor the incumbent or challenge the opposition can create a narrative that supports a specific agenda. Highlighting body language-such as nodding or frowning-during the incumbent’s speaking time versus the opposition’s can subtly influence viewers' perceptions of credibility and confidence. Utilizing emotional stories or testimonials that align with the incumbent’s agenda can create a stronger connection with viewers, overshadowing opposing viewpoints. Presenting data without context or using cherry-picked statistics can mislead viewers into thinking the incumbent’s policies are more effective than they are. Reinforcing existing beliefs by repeatedly presenting arguments or evidence that align with the viewers' preconceptions can solidify support for the incumbent. Introducing side issues or controversies surrounding opposition leaders can divert attention from their platforms and diminish their influence. Using influencers or respected figures to publicly support the incumbent can sway viewers by tapping into their desire to conform to perceived majority opinions. Make sure to Vote Reform!

[@shelleyphilcox4743]

In terms of the UK acceptance compared to France or Germany, we may take less asylum seekers/refugees per capita, by a small margin, in terms of the resources and space available in the country we take a disproportionate number more. The UK is far more densely occupied than France or Germany. Also worth noting that in the same period that the UKs population has expanded by about 10m, Germany's population has only increased by about 2.5m, and France by about 5m. Its important to look at the whole picture, and not just a small part of the entire picture. Its a lot harder to expand infrastructure, housing, and services for 10m than 2.5m to 5m. This is a practical resource, logistics and financing issue as well as a humanitarian one. The UK has been incredibly open, more so than France or Germany. In 2004 the UK, along with only Sweden and Ireland, both much smaller economies, to fully open its labour market . In contrast Germany kept fully closed for the maximum 7 years allowed. All other countties has a gradual approach using capped numbers and 1 in 1 out policies. Consequently, the UK has had a population expansion faster than we can keep up whilst preserving the quality of services, infrastructure and housing provision. It is not unreasonable, for the benefit of ALL the people who are currently here, to take a bit of time to make up the gap and to be able to plan and create ongoing capacity growth in line with our migration needs and ability to finance it.

Why is there a left wing audience every single question time fiona bruce had to apologise to zia twice but audience left wingers

[@mattsorrell9386]

Reform UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@martinwilliams9866]

As usual, heavy emphasis on the generals, light on specifics, such as "What's a deterrent?", which I can find in a dictionary, rather than "What are we doing as a deterrent?"

This audience is left wing 🤣🤣

[@samuelhutchison8433]

You dont say how observing.

[@SeanRoberts-c4o]

Lets not forget 45 people have died crossing the channel, perfect response would have been.... so what.

[@grahamrussell4705]

Just shyte,,, fiona bruce,,, class act 😅

[@peacok01]

BBC love Fiona Bruce and that is why she will never be pulled from this program. The only way is to boycott it!

[@barrytyler]

With Nige and Zia being as very are, great orators, Reform are on the road to victory.

[@rosschilde8323]

Totally based audience

[@shanbykabax4023]

Garbage hypocrisy will never prevail

[@markwhite267]

Thanks for the upload.

[@AnwarKhan-sg3vd]

im sorry for your loss they dont need banning for life they need being put in prison for life because its murder

[@raypulham6970]

The largest lie on t.v. A chosen audience with questions approved by the BBC and answers likewise,with Fiona ensuring nobody goes off script. A disgrace

[@deanlawswashington1785]

It is utter madness that boarder security are unable to stop illegal immigrants from entering the country. The navy should have the power to tow the small boats back to where they came from. So Im in agreement with the reform party. We need to leave the ECHR and form our own. We left Europe politically for a reason, so being governed by the ECHR is absurd.

24 minutes in, and the pr*ck mentions, you guessed it....the 22bn deficit.....🙄

I used to watch is up to about 5 years ago and very intermittently since. Now watching on catch up and the blame game carries on. The chair has become more opinionated and targeting but at the end you never feel they are working on your behalf. There is never ever a straight answer unless it’s by an old fashioned journalist or a comedian.
