Sorry but the conservative MP looks like she suffers from Antisocial personality disorder
Extremely annoying how long they let the Tories talk compared to others. Typical BBC shite
Always makes me sneer when Fiona suggests that "on tonights panel as always we have a wide range of views" LOL.
My Penis has more Girth than the usual discussion allowed on here and i am no John Holmes xD
Women in white, telling us we need to help these people, can you take a couple of guys coming over in boats and look let them live in your house?
"Your doctor will probably be an immigrant doctor…". How about those doctors stay in their own third world countries, and help the poor there.
I have worked in so called 'Job Centre's for many years. MANY people FAKE some kind of illness to get free money.
When the British people realise the true, dystopian, function of the "Freeports" that the tories are so proud of building, there will be righteous fury.
If people are dying in small boats coming across the channel then they won't be immigrating will they? so they unfortunately are illrelevent to the debate.
Welcome to the effing Fiona Bruce show … she has to go.She could be the next Tory PM. God help us.
In Liddles view charities must also be encouraging people to be poor, old and marginalised …perhaps even Cancer UK is encouraging people to get cancer! Bloody communists.
The govt will always find no evidence of corruption because they are the corruption.
rich countries have many people going to psychiatrists, because in bagdad you won t find many therapists or people who can afford going.
Come here and see the worse education here we have so much to offer. I can understand why immuntion wants to come here the worth of a soul is great
Sorry l didn't say the Philippines
Rod is an idiot. If you accept that poverty doesn't cause mental health. If you are wealthier you are more likely to be able to afford treatment. Therefore people in poverty will suffer more from untreated mental health more often then affluent people. In addition, untreated mental health will likely lead to a deterioration in other aspects of mental and physical health and possibly the triggering of other mental health conditions.
Maybe next time America want to invade a country and destroy it the UK will not get involved, the last thing we need are more immigrants right?
I wish anti immigration people would be vocal against actions which will create immigrants.
Rod Liddle does not understand how statistics work, or how you infer a relationship between a group and outcome. Can the sun not afford a basic course on statistics for it's journalists so they don't sound totally thick discussing and writing about these issues. No wonder the sun's readership is down are they also writing it in crayon!
Gaza genocide is ongoing
Britain is fcuked
Guy in the pink shirt… brain fuelled by sausage rolls, facts are fuelled by carling and coke
Cant fiona tory lover bruce say anything other than……………….."what would labour do…?" ……asks the same question about 10 times every week ffs !
i remember a time when middlesborough was a working class city
Couldn’t they find any cid women for this panel
Yes Fiona Bruce is a pro Tory her biases are very apparent
She lets tories bluble on and pounces on others before they finish a point,!
If afluence is a major cause of poor mental health, as Rod Liddle said, then surely after years of austerity there should be fewer people with mental health issues. Rod Liddle should have praised the Tories for the cost of living crisis because, according to him, it reduces mental health problems.
Here we go again…climate change…blah blah blah…boring 😴
G'wan Sarah ! You just winning the internet. Wish you were my MP.
Great listening to genuine politics and honest talk.😊
Need to sack the presenter.
UK is going to become Yemen
God fiona bruce is a bloody nuisance interrupting and not letting people get their points across…get bloody rid!
Fiona is incredibly annoying, if she thinks she’s cleverer than the panel, then just do a monologue 😂
As a non-Brit, I can't get much out of the show when politicians are on because they're usually mostly campaigning for themselves or panning the opposition in the words they use even if it sounds fairly practical.
More and more evidence that women shouldmt be allowed to vote. Theyll turn this country into a liberian cess pit before they admit that they are wrong.
‘Idiots thinking of human rights’. The sort of idiot who voted tory and wonders why the country is fkd.
It's not that there's no mental health issues in poorer countries, it's that it goes undiagnosed and untreated. There's cultural elements to it where, for example in Asia it's almost taboo to talk about mental health because if you admit to it you're seen as weak or crazy. Social stigma hides the problem. Plus there's the lack of access to healthcare for those who can't afford it. Speaking as an Asian.
Bruce needs a gag.
There isn't a link between affluence and mental health, the correlation he see's is affordability to see a psychiatrist or a counsellor. The richest countries can afford more of these!
5 minutes in and I’m fuming! Will Fiona Bruce please just let people finish their train of thought.. or at least one sentence! This is another reason the legacy media is dead in the water, on YouTube you can actually listen to people making their point without fighting through a barrage of interruptions.
"It's normal to feel depressed"
No it isn't. Feeling sad isn't depression. Fucking hate it when people confuse being sad with being depressed. Dealing with sadness is not easy but it isn't like dealing with depression. Depressed people aren't sad. It's like the brain is a water wheel carrying round the water of your thoughts. If that wheel moves too slowly then it misses a lot of that water. That is what been depressed is like. Stimuli comes in but it doesn't get processed. Doing normal everyday things becomes very difficult. It isn't normal to feel like that for long periods of time.
It isn't normal to not shower for a couple of weeks or to stop brushing your teeth. It isn't normal to not want to interact with anyone even though you know it will make you feel a tad nicer.
The problem with QT is that it is snippets about shit. No deep dive, just reactions. We don't have a political program that does these deep dives like they used to, where they used to grill a politician on a specific thing for an hour and get a deep understanding about policy. It is all sound bites, what sounds good for an hour show that asks several questions.
Middlesbrough is a Tory stronghold?
Thats QT audience selection for you. 😮
Comments about Fiona bias?
33:13 Ben's mum lying through her teeth
Bit surprised at Rod Liddle, he's clearly an intelligent man yet fails to see the obvious flaw in his argument re mental health and poverty.
"It just doesn't correlate," he said to one audience member. Well no, it doesn't, because poor countries don't have the necessary recognition or support for mental health issues.
Ditto the 1950s Britain that he mentioned – it's not that people weren't dealing with crippling mental health problems. They just suppressed them and lived in torment.
Can someone just remind me what's the difference between Tory and Labour in that first question? Jesus. Wept. By the way: Phoebe, you're brilliant
No reform again ??

from all over GB and Beyond 👍
why do they insist on giving figures? no one cares about figures. you can make figures say whatever you want. all people care about is their own lived experience. not a brit, just an observation. enjoy the show
Rod Lidl – more people are seeing mental health specialists today because the NHS and private facilities have them to offer, unlike the 1950s. Norway isn't more depressed, they have a better funded health care system that can offer people help if and when they need it as opposed to turning them away or leaving them on seemingly perpetual waiting lists. I appreciate you want to get up on you soap box and insist we pull ourselves together but your complete failure to understand thr statistics you apparently have at your finger tips probably means you should stay quiet on this issue and leave it to the people with braincells and a teaspoon of empathy to talk about.
