You deleted my play on words, in case you don't know The trans-pennine Express is an actual train service that serves Leeds Maybe you are so London-centric that you didn't know that!

There are other uses for the word trans you know Hmm

They want an under 30 audience because there’s less chance of having genuine feminists in the audience. They also know that all those wonderful women and transsexuals who have spoke at the women’s meetings are over the age of 30 so that rules them out. There’s more chance of the under 30s having swallowed this ‘trans women are women’ nonsense, so it’s going to to be a very pro trans audience. They will only have questions that are easy for the trans brigade to answer, so they will be questions that will help the agenda.

This isn’t a QUESTION Time program, this is going to be a pro trans program.

Quite like wee Mhairi Black though

It would be good to ask her if she felt she let down her constituents by not joining their campaign to prevent the closure of the local and much used children's ward.

The only time Paris will see 30 again is on a door Hmm

Ask Paris if going to prison for a violent assault on an elderly man taught Paris anything about the nature of male violence.

I wonder who the other panellists will be. Not Owen bloody Jones again? Hopefully Lily Madigan Grin

Quite like wee Mhairi Black though.

Under 30 for this specific one? How weird, not.

Is Paris under 30? Confused
(For some reason it isn't easy to find the answer to this on Google)

@TerfyTerfyTerfy

Can we have a separate thread about that? I think it's worth discussing and researching more.

LineysOfArabia · 16/03/2018 08:44

Questiontime is recorded 'as live' a few hours before it's actually broadcast iirc

TerfyTerfyTerfy · 16/03/2018 08:42

Plenty of chat on the feminism board about the US funding of this cause but no one is following the money in the U.K. to be fair plenty of it is coming from US private foundations but there are U.K. sources of money too. Incl Lloyd's bank internal staff funding Mermaids and other corporates through their LGBT staff groups

TerfyTerfyTerfy · 16/03/2018 08:40

Paris has gotten money and training from private U.K. foundations under the guise of being a "social activist" . Including media training and other exposures . Paris gets plenty of opportunities to talk about themselves

mypoosmellsofroses · 16/03/2018 08:38

Ooh I have a 24 yr old who is very GC , not sure he could be trusted not to get sweary about the issue, but will see what he is up to next week and have a chat

Ellenripleysalienbaby · 16/03/2018 08:10

Why under 30?

How is Paris Lees getting so much exposure?!

Testingnamechange1 · 16/03/2018 07:35

Anyone with student gender critical children who could apply to go?

IhaveChillyToes · 16/03/2018 01:29

Also wear a stunning colour top so that you stand out to DD also the camera notifies you

You'll find how to apply online. I went once but quite a while ago! They called back and asked a few questions about what areas we were interested in, voting preferences etc so they can establish balance. When we arrived cards were given out to write questions on. Those chosen were advised before filming.
Would advise sitting somewhere prominent and being bold at putting up hand and keeping it up to get opportunity for follow-up questions...

More bloody ageism against the not-so-young-people of our country. It beggars belief at times, honestly.

VaguelyAware · 16/03/2018 00:54

Leeds is about 2 hours from London by train.
