It's possible to write and request that the panel be balanced by sex. Paris has a history of refusing to debate. Someone who knows their stuff on the GRA - and not just a right winger like JHB - should be there to debunk Lees's claims. JHB would feed into the idea that we are bigots.

PL is under 30...? Grin Grin Grin

Only if transition means that you get to start the clock again at any age you wish

Ereshkigal · 16/03/2018 15:42

It does Olenna. Hope that helps Grin

I think it could be good for a lot of people watching if the trans issue comes up. I can see Dimbleby playing the innocent 'please explain to me...' card.

As long as a question is raised it will be very interesting to see it played out

BTW this isn't the first time that PL has been on Question Time. PL was a panellist in 2013 with Ed Miliband* and others: www.pinknews.co.uk/2013/10/31/paris-lees-makes-history-as-bbc-question-times-first-out-trans-panellist/

*shows how much has changed in just 5 years....

thanksjaneshusbandatcaresouth · 16/03/2018 16:25

Has question time ever been limited by age before?

AreYouTerfEnough · 16/03/2018 16:36

And this confirms why I’m really glad I no longer pay the licence fee.

Ereshkigal · 16/03/2018 16:44

Hasn't Paris been on it more recently than that? I thought in the last couple of years?

whoputthecatout · 16/03/2018 16:47

Paris Lees on the telly so much they should just provide a bed for her at Broadcasting House. The ultimate rent-a-gob.

whoputthecatout · 16/03/2018 16:47

Along with Owen Jones of course.

OlennasWimple · 16/03/2018 16:53

QT has done all sorts of "specials" over the years, including a First Time Voters one, region specific (notably Scotland in the Indy Ref run up)... It's not really a big deal

Pratchet · 16/03/2018 17:03

We could help pre empt a pro trans advert by encouraging them to have a balanced panel

Pratchet · 16/03/2018 17:05

Make your feelings known before?

Why do you say that Trumpdump?

Though I've always assumed that there was something more that went on, given that a two year sentence for burglary committed as a 16 year old strongly suggests some real aggravating features

BeyondDeadlySiren · 16/03/2018 17:37

It worked on the recent Vic Derbyshire programme. They had three TIMs and one GC feminist on, til there were complaints and then they changed to two of each :)

Theswaggyotter · 16/03/2018 17:59

Magdalen Berns might be under 30! Can you imagine how amazing she would be Grin

*had

Ereshkigal · 16/03/2018 18:57

Apparently so but I want to find a source before I disseminate.

Trumpdump · 16/03/2018 19:02

Sorry, I wasn't stating that PL had killed someone. I was expressing shock that someone else said they had? In that someone they beat up later died? I will ask to have my post removed.

wellalrighty · 16/03/2018 19:17

I identify as 25.

Ereshkigal · 16/03/2018 19:50

I've heard it from multiple sources but I want to fact check.

DebbieInBirmingham · 16/03/2018 20:37

Send Miranda Yardley onto the panel as well. Would be worth watching, that.

You won't be able to google the details. It's been hidden.
