(On his Twitter feed he even describes himself as a "pro-EU activist".)</i><br /><br />Rule #1 in effect, as usual. As for the audience panel, they will have answered questions beforehand as part of the selection process. No surprise at all how they stack up. Ian Katz and Newsnight stopped caring ages ago. They now seem to be adolescents doing this to thumb their noses at (The Man/The Right/White Van Man/conservatives/delete as applicable).David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-17670972113985782552016-04-12T12:15:59.696+01:002016-04-12T12:15:59.696+01:00I was surprised that Davis stated the voter panel ...I was surprised that Davis stated the voter panel had been chosen by a polling organisation as being representative of voters in the UK. How that panel was representative is beyond me.<br /><br />Of the eight people on the panel one was from Southern Ireland (going by his accent) and a second appeared to be from Eastern Europe. In other words 25% of the panel (remember supposed to be representative) was not born in the UK. Does that speak the levels of immigration that we have experienced in the UK? or another example of the BBC stacking the cards. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-51339403056114811542016-04-12T10:15:55.075+01:002016-04-12T10:15:55.075+01:00Siobahn Benita seemed a very odd choice for an &qu...Siobahn Benita seemed a very odd choice for an "expert". She is a politician. She stood for Mayor of London. And her expertise seems of somewhat "controversial" kind - I think there was some suggestion that Rabidly Remain Gus O'Donnell was in some sense promoting her candidature. He certainly did so after he stopped being Cabinet Secretary. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
