watching Question Time, feeling pissed off and depressed. Finding Baroness Chakrabarti utterly awful, and Oakshott, who I know I SHOULD dislike, great.

Completely disagree too. Oakeshott was coming over as childish and obnoxious. I've switched over now though.

I don't dislike either of them, but Oakeshott isn't buying into the Labour crap this evening, for sure.

Oakshott...never heard of her til I turned the TV on 20 mins ago. Loathsome woman.

Not watching but absolutely with you on Chakrabarti!

I would describe IO as petulant and SC as terrifyingly cold. Thought Chris Grayling did quite well all things considered and Campbell was his usual self, head and shoulders above the rest. Can't stand Dimbers and think it's way past time he was put out to grass.

I found Oakshott condescending, disingenuous, ignorant and quite frankly bloody rude.

Agreed op.

Although she was slightly petulant at times.

Incidentally, that was, for once, an impartial audience on Question Time.

Really?? She's reminded me of a ruder Katie Hopkins.

She was intensely dislikable.

God Oakeshott is vile. Instead of making her points properly she was just rude, childish and behaved like a bully.

I'd never heard of her but found this on wiki

"while at The Sunday Times, she infamously persuaded Vicky Pryce to implicate her estranged husband, former Liberal Democrat MP and Cabinet minister Chris Huhne, in perverting the course of justice, leading to the case R v Huhne, and to both Pryce and Huhne being convicted and jailed."

She also wrote for the Daily Mail (cut price Hopkins?). I suspect she'll love the publicity. Spoilt brat.

Alistair Campbell, who I used to loathe, was bloody right when he said people should stop buying that rag.

Isabel Oakeshot is usually a lot calmer then tonight, but I suppose being on a panel with Chakrabarti and bloody Campbell would piss anyone off.

Completely disagree, Oakshott was utterly awful. Rude, condescending, endlessly sarcastic. I thought her behaviour was quite inappropriate at times actually

IO sounded childish and obnoxious, SC was defensive and stubborn. Both came across as unprofessional

Oakshott was bloody vile. She was like a cut price Katie Hopkins.
I feel I should like Chackrabati, but she's just odd.
Alistair Campbell came across well though.

Absolutely the other way round. Jeez

I've never liked Chakrabati much but I don't think she was cold. Maybe she was trying to keep her temper ? I wanted to slap Oakeshott.
