1) Everything that is wrong with @BBCNews and #bbcqt in one clip
Bruce allows Tim Martin to repeat rubbish on #Brexit completely unchallenged

Bruce is not stupid, she's knows his points are worthless, but allows him to vent before moving on

It's exactly why we are where we are

@BBCNews 2) Tim Martin was wheeled on as the celebrity #Brexit guest. He was asked about 3 things.

On vaccination he basically said "I dunno"

On knife crime he was rightly ridiculed for attributing knife crime to fashion choices

He has no special insight on anything, especially Brexit

@BBCNews 3) yet on that #Brexit question he was given free reign to rabbit on in a monologue of undemocratic EU, £39b richer & low tariffs for e everyone

The same tired 2 year old lines that have been banged out like a recording by Brexit spokespeople

Every point long disproven

But...

@BBCNews 4) he wasn't challenged, not even when he attacked other guests for "knowing nothing about this stuff"

Tim Martin said his #Brexit unicorn lines, right on cue, got his applause and then contributed nothing much else for the rest of the debate

@BBCNews 5) a cynic might say it was scripted, Martin's turn to come on, #bbcqt and shout "give us a proper #Brexit, we want no deal" at appropriate points

Why else was he there? He certainly didn't take part in any debate

@BBCNews 6) seriously, #bbcqt could save time and effort by having a life size Rees-Mogg cardboard cut out as the 5th guest with a "Brexit populist rant" recording. Fiona Bruce could press "play" at the appropriate time. It would at least save on the appearance fee.
Shocking
