La BBC accusata di “inserire” i migranti nel pubblico del Question Time

Thats it, tharts convinced me, the BBC is biased because they let non white non English people into the audiance…

Edit: I should point out that this QT was billed as a “immigration special” and people are upset an asylum seeker (someone this topic is very much about) was on the show in the audiance.

bloke wouldn’t want to go back to Iran because his 4 month old daughter won’t know Farsi?

She’s 4 month old lad she can learn when she returns with you.

> In a post on X, Mr Yusuf said: “Incredibly, the BBC planted multiple illegal migrants in the audience of Question Time’s immigration special. One said his asylum application had been rejected in SIX countries and so he came to Britain by small boat.”

God, he’s gonna be so embarrassed when he finds out who was partially responsible for pulling us out of a scheme that gave us access to biometrics for all EU asylum seekers and allowed us to decline those who had already failed in applications in other EU countries.

Nigel is probably on the phone right now calling him a wally for wanting our asylum system to be dictated to by those bonkers EU bureaucrats.

> says Zia Yusuf

Ah, yes, nothing like making wild claims with zero evidence by the guy who chairs a party that is anti immigrant and anti BBC the day after another poor showing on the BBC.

Totally trustworthy.

Back when everyone was playing Among Us we called this ‘Self Report’

Says Zia Yusuf, to cover for coming off like a complete cunt during that episode.

In the “immigration special,” in Dover, with immigration one of the electorate’s highest concerns, the one who got the most positive response was the guy from the “open borders” party, and Reform will point the finger at anyone except themselves.

Its not really planting, its getting representation in there. What good is a discussion about a group without that group even there to speak up for themselves? If you’re afraid of a different opinion yours might not be all that strong.

The bbc are trying to run a hit job on reform at the moment. Even if you don’t like them you should find it troubling the bbc is doing this.

I think the guy who got rejected from Greece, Germany, and … Norway (?) Before coming to the uk was probably the worst offender though. What exactly was the point there?

Not the mention this guy read a script from his phone.

So all the angry white men asking about migration every week is fine but they get one brown face on and they must be a plant

The rule never fails: if the headline is a passive sentence, it’s bullshit.

I watched the program. Nobody was pretending that these were audience members who happened to be migrants. It was clear that they had deliberately invited small boat migrants onto the show, Fiona even said ‘we have some migrants in the audience tonight’ before asking one to speak.

IMO they added to the discussion and I think it was brave of them to come on national TV and speak given the current climate. One of them listed a number of countries including Germany which had rejected his applications and now he is in Britain, making me wonder why all those other countries can reject people fast and have them leave but we can’t?

‘Planting’ always equals ‘somebody who has a different opinion to me’

Is the argument really that immigrants need to integrate, as long as they don’t have opinions on how the country is run?
