If the BBC are so biased against the Tories why have they banned their stations playing the Captain Ska song - even though it is set to be No1 in the charts? There's not much Daily Mail reader anguish at this censorship is there.

They can't because of the political balance enforced on the BBC at Election times. They'll be free to play it after 10pm next Thursday.

It doesn't show any support to any party (just attacks the incumbent) and doesn't make any reference to constituency politics.

If a DJ on a BBC radio chooses to play it then he may be breaking the law. However the reason it should be played is because it's in the charts as chosen by the public.

I'd also strongly argue that I'm yet to see any political balance from the BBC on this whole campaign. They've been a bad as Murdoch in their anti Corbyn bias.

Reference to constituency politics in irrelevant as both the BBC and Ofcom guidelines both cover parties as well as constituency candidates. Mind you it could be argued that Theresa May is standing in her own constituency!

Something such as this doesn't have to show support for anybody, by attacking the PM and only the PM it is political and unbalanced. Perhaps you can recommend an anti-Corbyn song they can play alongside it to provide the balance?

Playing it just because it's in the charts is irrelevant as well. There's also the legal minefield of misrepresentation as I very much doubt that Theresa May has given her permission for her voice to be used in this way.

Tonight's Question Time crowd were a bit nuke happy.

Clearly the BBC got the memo from the right-wingers about their audience. Swivel-eye central tonight.

Why do so many f**kwits think a nuclear launch would be like a Tom Clancy novel? With a green radar and a red button and Corbyn turning a key and having to press it? It's easy to say "yeah nuke em, whatever" when you're a man on the street but when you have a small-to-middling chance of being in no 10 next week I think it's good to have someone who wants to think about it and won't commit to gleefully plunging the world into a fiery nuclear end 4.5 billion years ahead of schedule.

The interesting thing about the Trident trope is that it is not independent, and the UK does not control any decision over its possible use.

We never have had any control, it is a US support system whose value is purely symbolic.

The depressing aspect was the familiar rehearsal of set positions in a piece of theatre, with no significant exploration of policy choices. Sad and patronising.

[CrippyCooke]

Absolutely embarrassing to hear some of the comments from the audience regarding the use of nuclear weapons. Some people clearly letting their war boners get in the way of common sense.

Fair play to the woman who called the war-mongers out.

Question to Corbyn - why wont you condemn terrorists who kill people?

Question to Corbyn - why wont you use nuclear weapons to kill people?


I pity anyone who lives in York and has to meet these people on a daily basis.

3 answers about tonight's debate from york on bbc one and no body has mentioned how this debate was much more clean and to the point than the 7 party debate the other night.

I now see why may did not attended the 7 party leaders debate as that was all about nit picking and ended up in a farce at times.

Unlike tonight's debate where both leaders were put under the kosh via whatever questions.

Both may and corbyn seemed to do their best and were evenly matched in my opinion .the only downfall I could point out was when corbyn wasted time at the very start of his slot to dig out may for not attending the farce of the live 7 party tv debate.

Put the leaders up infront of the general public and you see a far more clear and better picture > put them up in front of each other and the general public and it becomes messy and school  playgroundish.

7 party leaders debates only gains are the fcuking  media .

Watch and learn as the saying goes.

So how would you ask a question to raise the issue that they was trying to get across?

He was asked what's on many persons minds and corbyn answered it the way he believed in .

Some people will like his answer as some people will not like his answer ,that's the whole idea of the questions and answers so it can help decide on who you vote for.

Or do you think questions only should be asked that make him or her look comfortable and happy .

I agree that a 7-way debate was always going to be a shambles. The same happened in the 2016 Republican primaries in the US.

I don't, however, think this justifies there not being a debate between the leader of the Tories and the leader of the Labour Party. One of them will be PM.

The most important part of a debate of this importance is so the general public can watch listen and learn then vote.

Not watch listen learn then get side tracked by the party leaders wether it be 2,3,4,5,6, or 7 turning into a mud throwing exercise .

Before I had nothing but contempt for corbyn for whatever reasons ,but after tonight I type tip my hat too him as he believes in what he stands for .i don't get that impression with may.

But then I bring likes of Abbott into the fold and any positive that had for corbyn drifts away,and that is his fault .

I'd rather questions were asked which haven't been repeated over and over this past week.

[not on facebook]

You have raised a valid issue there mr crippycooke as you can bet your last $$$$ that near enough the same questions will be asked on the next question time .

The leaders will answer bascially in the exact same way aswell ,so as you point out the general public learn nothing new.

But corbyn and may can only answer what they are asked I guess.

One thing I did notice about tonight is that may on numerous occasions recalled the exact name of the person who asked a previous question into her answer > corbyn did not .

If this was a boxing match may would have got extra points for that .

The question I ask is > was may coached into doing this or did it come from her heart ? as it certianly came across as a possitive tact.

Corbyn did not recall any names  of people that asked him any previous question ,so I guess it will not go as a positive or a negative but they are trying to appeal to the non decided voters .

[RedJ]

So you'd respond more positively if you asked me if I was going to stab you and I used your name in my answer than if I didn't?

[Glyn_Wigley]

It would have been even more illuminating if they'd both been asked the same questions so you could directly compare their answers.
