A Labour Plant On Question Time

 

 

Kebab time reveals this:

One Nation Plant

Did you see BBC Question Time Thursday night? if so you would have seen an exchange between an audience member and the UKIP candidate for Eastleigh Diane James .

 

View image on Twitter

This young lady is Amy Rutland and according to her twitter profile she works for the Labour party(  Regional Policy Co-ordinator ) .

But that is not all, KT can revel that before Question Time she had a chat with Stephen Twigg ( The Labour representative on the panel ) :

 

 

How many of those ‘phone ins’ on 5Live do you think we can trust not to be packed with those who have vested interests?

There will always be some who try it on…but the question is how many ‘ringers’ do the BBC turn a blind eye to?

 

 

update:

Cheers to ‘Eric’ in the comments for supplying the clip…a lot more damning in the flesh…and no wonder she thanks ‘David’, very helpful wasn’t he?:

    Quelle surprise!

    QT has been stuffing its audiences with Labour and trade union activists for years.

    Then just to make sure things swing the right way we have Professor Dumblebum in the chair shutting up any opinions he doesn’t like.

    More farce than political discussion.

      I knew it!! Thanks for the evidence – I saw the ugly little monster, how Dangleberry gave her loads of time to clarify her point, and – very unusually – to enter a personal debate with Diane James, to re-make the same point. (When is the last time you saw that happen on QT?)
      Then when other people spoke, the camera lingered on her again…. PLANT!!

        Well, that plant will certainly be regretting making such a bad job of the open goal offered by dimblebore. Her performance was just a few pathetic sound-bites. She will get plenty of unpaid nuliebor party activist work. However she’s not going to find herself parachuted into a safe seat anytime soon. Even with dimblebore and the whole production team helping out she cocked up big time and gave our Mel a great opening to savage her! Da iawn Mel!

    … seemed the camera kept going back to her and back to her and the fellow with the boom microphone kept it over her head (gob) for a jolly long time.

    They might as well have invited her onto the panel – though I suppose it’s only a matter of time.

    The double-chinned, boot-faced, half-witted, gobby, brain-dead, unemployed, unemployable, never to be employed, fat lump of lard.

    BBC-NUJ’s Question Time is usually a pro-Labour Party, pro Hamas,
    pro- ‘Greenpeace’ dictatorship not least in the biased political composition of ITS audiences.
    Last night’s example is yet another case in point.

    BBC-NUJ supports Labour Party in continuing an open door policy for mass immigration into Britain. The colonising of cities such as London, Birmingham, Leicester, etc , which the political ‘left’ campaigns for, is but a portent of the demographic mass immigration future.

    the extra guest on QT was also soi-disant “tax guru” Richard Murphy, a man capable of holding three contradictory opinions at the same time and who rarely puts anything on his blog without having it torn to shreds by people who, unlike him, understand tax and economics. A nasty little statist who has spotted the chance for a knighthood or even a peerage, who claims to welcome debate and then abuses and blocks anyone who even quite reasonably disagrees with him or proves him wrong. Naturally he’s a BBC regular and was described by Dimblebot as a “tax expert”.

    Richard `Murphy last night, and was it not wee Laura Penney doing the honours a few weeks back?
    Note the bit where the Labour pro-immigration union toady gets a few questions from Dimbleby as well as a few shots at Ukip gratis…and the quiet howling down of some woman who reckons Dover is overcrowded.
    Note too when Dimbleby counted three against the EU and only two for it…so Ken Clarke gor the extra supplementary question to reinforce his love of Europe.
    Transparent Common Purpose with the open minds of virtuous scientologists-that`s our BBC!

      Such is the BBC-NUJ prior political vetting of not only the composition of the ‘QT’audience to ensure predominantly ‘leftist’ views, but there is an even tighter political vetting of who is to be permitted to speak.

            Well, surely, the way to offset the left-wing bias on QT is to lie about your views and tell them what they want to hear, simple. Then ambush the debate and see how they react, could be fun. Fact is though, most decent people cannot be bothered to apply because they’d rather spend their time with their family and friends, or are working or cannot be bothered. The Left know this and is why they pack these debates, having nothing better or productive to do.

              That might work if QT were live, but it’s pre-recorded, so any thought crime will be sent down the memory hole prior to transmission.

          Extraordinary isn’t it?

          Why would they need to ask these questions other than to ‘screen out’ what they perceive to be ‘undesirables’.

          What are they afraid of?

          What would happen if jurors had to complete such a survey before being allowed in court?

            They claim that the goal is to make the audience reflect the general political demography of the host area. According to polls, etc. But in the end it’s really down to the highly subjective judgment of the Beeboids doing the screening. They make the judgment about which figures to use as a baseline, they make the judgment about whether or not applicants qualify, they make the judgments on whether or not the questions required to be provided in advance suit the agenda news cycle of the day. There’s precious little ideological balance on the team, so this is the inevitable result, conspiracy or not.

        Question Time is rarely broadcast live – it’s usually recorded earlier in the evening in a single take. So it’s not inconceivable that someone who was on the programme could have tweeted between recording and transmission.

          I wondered about that but I believe her tweet was 3.33p.m. on Thursday and I think QT is recorded during the evening.
          The sensible deduction is that she knew that she was going to be allowed to rant during the programme although it had not yet taken place. I wonder how she knew that.

              For some reason the time stamp is wrong all the way through that BBC Question Time Twitter feed.
              That happens to a lot of people who use Twitter. It shows up as being 7 hours behind time every time I tweet.

              If you read through the bbcqt feed you’ll see it was done live when the programme was broadcast. The live questions to the extra guest are tweeted too as they happen.

              You can also see that from the MT tweet from DVATW (David Vance). The BBC Question Time Twitter feed shows it at 2.49pm – Mar 7, 2013. DV was tweeting live as he was watching the programme. His Twitter feed shows he sent it at 2:39 PM – Mar 7, 2013. So he has the same problem with the time stamp on his feed as I have, and as the BBC has.

              The programme was recorded in the evening. Rutters101 tweeted after the recording. Then the BBC Question Time Twitter feed started up just before the programme was broadcast and the public, including DV, then joined the debate and things started going badly wrong for Rutters101.

                It’s maybe less to do with that feed, and either your own settings within Twitter or your own time zone on your PC (the former is more likely). The tweet linked above is showing up as having been sent at 11.33pm as far as I can see.

                    You’re welcome.

                    Just to confirm, I queried that tweet using Twitter’s API and the timestamp retrieved using that method was recorded as:

                    Thu Mar 07 23:33:08 +0000 2013

                    The +0000 is the offset from GMT – here verifying that the tweet was created at 11.33pm GMT.

                    If you’re logged in to Twitter, I’d suggest going to https://twitter.com/settings and checking the Time Zone setting is set to “London” (or as appropriate). This *should* also help account for switch to daylight savings time when the time comes as well.

                    For smartphone apps, they tend to rely on the systemwide clock, which can be found in the phone settings.

                      Either way, if she tweeted after the recording was done, she obviously didn’t think anything of what Phillips said to her, and was still quite proud of her own performance.

                      Something isn’t adding up here, or I’m simply missing a key detail.

                  So we are both seeing a 3.33pm time from the BBC and a 2.39pm time from DVATW responding to that night’s Question Time not because that was the actual time those tweets were tweeted but simply because our settings are wrong. Such is technology.

      …and tweeting led to her being exposed by Kebab Time as a Labour shill. She was undone by the info on her Twitter account, revealing exactly who she was. QT isn’t broadcast live, it’s recorded around 8PM; presumably she sent the tweet after recording the show but before it was broadcast.
      It just confirms that the QT audience is stuffed full of low grade apparatchiks, pressure group members and vested interests. A random sample of the British public it aint.

    Let’s face it, Three Chins Ruttlidge never really managed to put forward a coherent argument against UKIP. Watching the clip, she clearly thought she was very clever up until the moment she opened her mouth, at which point she must have realised that maybe she wasn’t quite so smart after all.

    Ruttlidge just about managed to splutter out a couple of old cliches (usually reserved for the BNP) about how UKIP were targeting the vulnerable before she went on to sling a few rather weak insults by saying how disgusting UKIP are.

    What I saw when I watched the clip was a silly little girl giving the UKIP representative ample opportunity to explain why there is good reason for the British public to have serious concerns about the influx of Romanian immigrants. Poor old Three Chins couldn’t have been very happy with her performance the other night, she wouldn’t have won many brownie points from her fellow Labour party workers unless of course they were sympathy points.

    If there were any Beeboids in on this little charade it would appear to me that there little wheeze backfired.

    Everyone should put in a complaint to the BBC, followed by an e-mail to UKIP suggesting that they make a formal complaint. This woman(girl) was a deliberate plant by the Labour party, with the sole intention of disparaging a rival party by labelling them ‘disgusting’. This is not acceptable. Question Time audiences are supposed to be constituted of regular members of the public so that they may have their say, not paid activists of political parties whose sole purpose is to push their agenda and demonize their opponents.

    This will get worse! UKIP have them frightened – or rather, the public’s surge of support for UKIP have them frightened.
    You can malign a party, but you can’t prevent people from voting for it. The more the attacks come, the nastier they get, the more steadfast the support will become.

      While I can easily believe the BBC knowingly allowed this Labour apparatchik in to attack the enemy, I’m actually surprised that neither UKIP nor the Conservatives have anyone monitoring Twitter or other social media for QT mentions and missed the alert she gave away.

      How pathetic. If DB can bust dozens of Beeboids, surely a political party can hire some kid to watch out for this sort of thing. Imagine the result if Diane James (who didn’t seem very useful, to be honest) was prepped with a note and photo to watch out for this girl. She could have called her out and handed the proof to Dimbleby, whose head would have exploded. What a wasted opportunity.

On that count it clearly failed, as Ms Rutland hardly recieved a standing ovation.In fact Melanie Philips had at least as good audience response if not better.

        All of that said, can we be sure that the leadership of the so-called Conservative Party would have taken steps to expose this little game even had they known of the true identity of the odious, socially-maladjusted Miss Rutland (wonder if she’s ever held a proper job, by the way)? Maybe it suits Mr Cameron to have some unsuspecting Labour stooge do the dirty work of publicly traducing UKIP (and in the process a large section of the public who, although not UKIP voters, hold perfectly rational, reasonable and lawful concerns about immigration) for him.

        Melanie Phillips’ savaging of the stupid little girl was outstanding, by the way.

          Wonderful performance. Notice the camera went back again and again and again to capture the reaction shots of the gobby Labour paid activist. What direction are QT camera crew under? Who in the editing suite is “stage managing” the debate? Who the hell are these faceless technicians and who is excercising editorial control? Didn’t they just appoint a Russian marxist expert as Head of QT?

          Catching the BBC red-handed in front of an audience on air (generously and perhaps naively assuming it wouldn’t sent down the memory hole before broadcast) would be a big deal, more important than a momentary score for UKIP. After all, the BBC is in the middle of another round of mandatory Safeguarding Trust courses. A wasted opportunity indeed.

          If UKIP doesn’t learn this lesson, they don’t deserve to continue rising.

      I haven’t watched QT for some considerable time because I can’t sleep when I’m angry, but I enjoyed this clip.

      The smug, self righteous little fishwife was typical. The UKIP lady did well taking all factors into account, but I thought that Melanie Phillips was outstanding.

    One very obvious thing in QT is the applause cheerleader who can always be heard ahead of the main audience clapping when pro labour points are being made.

    Perhaps the first question next week should be ‘will all the party political plants in the audience please stand up and identify yourself’.

    Maybe DD should then ask for all union members and students to stand up. That should leave about half a dozen real members of the public seated!

    While BBC-NUJ does its propaganda best to act as PR for Romania, the evidence from Germany is different:-

    ‘Daily Mail’ –

    “My warning to Britain: Why the left-wing mayor of German town wants you to see what happened when Romanian migrants moved in.
    Gangs of migrants congregate around the town’s tower blocks in intimidating fashion
    400 Romanians and Bulgarians have moved into one tower block.
    Neighbourhood is now a hotspot for crime and anti-social behaviour.
    Duisburg council tell Britain to be on their guard as the migrants will move to take advantage of our benefits system.”

    But did hear Tatchell get cheered to the rafters after just one introductory sentence as he opened the socialist sluices by way of an answer to a question sneering at Camerons economic competence…so unlike dear Gordon and Edward eh “gyze`ngals”?
    I made my excuses and left-cleaning the kittens litter tray seemed somehow more wholesome in comparison!

    Simon Heffer, in ‘Daily Mail’-

    (Scroll down) –

    “Yvette Cooper, the Shadow Home Secretary, has admitted the error of the Blair and Brown governments’ loss of control over immigration. But that was no accident: it was a cynical move to make the country more ‘multicultural’, to expand the bloated client state to win Labour more votes, and, as one official put it, to create something to ‘rub the noses’ of the middle classes in. It was a classic example of dishonest government. Do not think that, just because Labour has admitted its mistake, it can be trusted. I’m in no doubt, given the chance, it will pull the same disgraceful trick again.”

    As soon that swivel eyed munchkin had finished speaking on thursday I was waiting for Melanie to give her what for and she dutifully obliged much to my relief.

    She may have even laid into her a little better if she wasn’t so obviously angered (and rightly) by the comments.

    I’m so glad the little twerp has been outed as a stooge, she must feel, well, even smaller now.

      Agreed – much better performer, more clinical when she stays calm but she was still bloody effective. And who can blame her for getting angry? Labour and its followers – including the BBC are dismantling our democracy brick by brick with the aim of making Britain a one-party socialist state and it seems only UKIP are prepared to stand up and fight the bastards.

      Also Dimbleby made no attempt to stop the torrent of abuse – thinly disguised as argument – the vacuous Labour kid was throwing at the UKIP woman. In fact, at one point, he joined her in a pincer movement with his own aggressive questioning. Shameful bias, but sadly par for the course.

    Shame is no-one in the Chair told Amy Rutland to shut the fk up – she had had her say but was allowed to interrupt and answer back again and again from the floor, while the camera followed her every expression. Dimblebey is a failed Chairman, who should be shown the door as he can’t “chair” to save his life. he just wants to be a panellist. Go away QT, rid, you horrible programme.

      Of course, there is another possibility – that he chaired this particular segment in exactly the way he wanted to. Ability to chair in a manner that a reasonable viewer would consider to be fair doesn’t come into it.

    We need to know the following. 1) Did Dumble – or whoever actually decides – know who to pick? 2) If apparently at random does that mean there were other ringers dotted about so that one of them would be picked.

    After all the more complicit the BBC is the less effort is needed to insert ringers. If you know your guy is going to get his (her) shot you need to waste effort importing anyone else.

      Dimbleby knows what they’re going to ask if it’s one of those pre-submitted questions, but there are times when people just raise their hands if they want to respond to something a panelist said, or add a comment to whatever discussion is going on. He deliberately picks the prepared questions for whatever moderator reasons he has in his head (sometimes stepping on panelists so he can move on if he doesn’t like where things are going), but if Rutland was just one of those random hands in the air, it’s hard to nail him for it.

        Rutland was a hand-in-the-air random questioner not one of the pre-prepared. Thats what raises a question mark over her selection.

          You are pretty naive if you think that because someone holds up their hand they are selected randomly.

          All it takes is foreknowledge of where they will be sitting or the clothes they’ll be wearing. The crowd doesn’t know that the person is a plant.

          (At Disney MGM Studios there’s a show “The Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular”. Part of the show asks for audience participation where volunteers are called on to be extras. One person who is ‘selected’ is actually a professional stunt man, but the method of selection is such that the audience (unless having attended previously) don’t spot it.)

          May I suggest a course in audience manipulation?

            It’s ridiculous to believe that Dimbleby has some list of approved random punters with descriptions of their clothing and a seating chart. I’m sorry, but that’s just silly.

            I do believe that he chooses the pre-screened questions according to his mood, whatever that may be, and that should be questioned. That’s not to say there’s no malfeasance in Rutland being approved to attend at all. And the Labour MP knew. A proper journalist should be pressing him on it.

    The poor dear has protected her tweets now.

    Also, let’s not forget that, as Billy shows on his blog, the Labour MP on the panel met with her earlier in the day. So he knew she’d be there. If we pretend he didn’t, then he would certainly have recognized her once she started her rant. Somebody should go after Twigg on this as well.

  36. David Preiser (USA) says:

    I just asked Billy about it, and he’s pretty sure that she tweeted after the fact, so no chance for anyone to warn Diane James. However, obviously both UKIP and the Tories need somebody monitoring this stuff more, because they still could have caught her tweet about meeting with Twigg beforehand. There’s probably a lot of stuff there to catch.
