- Woman: [an episode held at the height of the 2009 MPs expenses scandal] Mrs. Beckett, are you going to pay back the £72,000 that you've taken, after your mealy-mouthed answer trying to explain yourself? And Mr. Campbell, how the hell do you get through £800 a month on food?
- Menzies Campbell: Not £800 a month.
- Bishop Aucklander: If Labour wants another referendum, isn't that against last year's manifesto?
- Southend Man: If
- [Trump]
- Southend Man: 'ad said that about my daughter, I'd 'ave put something in his eye!
- Bury St Edmunds Man: [Brexit] There is no Goldilocks Position on this...
- Caroline Lucas: I don't know why you're Booing Democracy!
- Kettering Man: Can we reward Creativeness?
- Kettering Man 2: [euthanasia] Having worked in the Funeral Industry, I have come across Death quite a lot...
- Panellist: Torture produces junk information. You torture someone and they just say things, they say things so you'll stop torturing them.
- Carolyn Radford: Hopefully tomorrow at Chequers things will be a bit more decisive.
- Kings Lynn Man: If you look out in the Car Park you'll see that all the Cars are German or Frown. French! So they need us as much as we need them.
- Kings Lynn Man 2: After 70 years the NHS has become a Sacred Cow. Isn't it time for serious reform?
- Panellist: This isn't Good Morning Britain, Piers, you have to listen to women, not just ogle them!
- Rev Giles Fraser: [IQ Tests for Jurors?] We have a Common Law, it's Law that's Judged by the Common People, we all Judge each other that's, using Common Sense, and the idea that Intelligence is some way of protecting us against some sort of irrationality in making these decisions is just not fair! I mean, David Hume was right when he said "Reason is a Slave to the Passions". And actually Reason isn't always what you want.
- Banbury Woman: My son is returning to University in Salisbury, should I be worried?
- Banbury Woman 2: Jacob Rees-Mogg says Brexit is going to take 50 years to sort out, that's my whole lifetime, I didn't vote on it, I have to live with THAT!
- Julia Hartley-Brewer: When are you planning to die?
- Nazir Afzal: We were promised the World. We now have the embarrassing situation where our Prime Minister is Dancing in Africa for Trade Deals. Is that how Great Britain should be?
- Barry Gardiner: [Rail Chaos] He said "It's my job to make sure this doesn't happen again." It's his job to make sure it doesn't happen in the First Place!
- David Dimbleby: How can a train be cancelled 60 times in four weeks?
- Nazir Afzal: I think the leaders don't have an Anti-Semitic or Islamophobic Bone in their Parties. In their Bodies!
- Barry Gardiner: If there's no Racism, why do they have to "Show they take it seriously"?
- Polly Mackenzie: The British People are not Stupid by any stretch of the imagination, but they are not Psychic either!
- Rod Liddle: The failure of Brexit at the moment is not the fault of the idea of Brexit.
- Ayesha Hazarika: Brexit is proving to be like a leap in the dark with a blindfold on!
- Ayesha Hazarika: Some people say it's undemocratic to have a second referendum, I say it's undemocratic not to.
- [applause]
- Bishop Aucklander 2: Ian
- [Lavery MP]
- Bishop Aucklander 2: , Bless Him, he's a bit confused. The only way that you and Jacob
- [Rees-Mogg]
- Bishop Aucklander 2: are poles apart is that he believes that this Country can go on to achieve better things, and
- [pointing]
- Bishop Aucklander 2: you, yourself, and you don't believe we can. That's the difference.
- [applause]
- Ayesha Hazarika: Democracy is not a moment in time, right? The Country changes! You know, since we had that vote probably about a million people have passed away, a million young people have come onto the voting register. Young people
- [angry murmurs]
- Ayesha Hazarika: , young people, so are you saying that young people do not have, so are you saying you suspend democracy, so if you're so sure, why don't you trust the British People, what are you scared of? Why not let people go in Eyes Wide Open?
- Jacob Rees-Mogg: THAT's what Brexit means!
- [didn't answer Dimbleby's question]
- Polly Mackenzie: I don't think people's jobs should be on the line for some sort of Perfect Ideological Hard Brexit!
- David Dimbleby: We don't want to stick on Brexit right the way through...
- Rod Liddle: None of the people who voted to Leave want a Second Referendum, it's the other lot!
- Rod Liddle: It's because the Politicians have been staggeringly useless!
- David Dimbleby: You've called Chequers a Dying Duck?
- Jacob Rees-Mogg: A Dying Duck in a Thunderstorm! Yes.
- David Dimbleby: Whatever that is.
- Jacob Rees-Mogg: Chequers may not so much be a Dying Duck as it is a sort of Count Dracula that gets up at night and walks abroad!
- Ayesha Hazarika: Count Duckula?
- Jacob Rees-Mogg: I wouldn't come before this Distinguished Audience and say things I didn't believe.
- Jacob Rees-Mogg: Theresa May believes in Chequers and I want her to change her policy, that is what I'm campaigning on, and I think the policy will have to change because it has no supporters, I don't think even the Downing Street Cat supports it!
- Polly Mackenzie: There is no consensus in Downing Street about Brexit, so it HAS to come from the people!
- Ayesha Hazarika: Jacob is very busy, he's got a lot of children, and he says he's never changed a nappy. And I think that's very good, because if he had he would know what a No-Deal Brexit would look like!
- Bishop Aucklander 3: Well, we keep calling it The Will of the People, that, you know, "We Voted, that's it! You've had your Cake and now you've got to eat it!", like, it's not exactly the Will of the People, is it? Because quite a lot of people have said "I voted Leave but I would change my mind" because people have been lied to, they have been misled, they were told "Oh, we're going to get millions for the NHS!" "Yeah, we're going to stop migrants" "We're going to do this and we're going to do that!" None of that's going to happen, not any of those original promises are actually going to happen, in any kind of this Brexit.
- Rod Liddle: Did you vote Remain?
- Bishop Aucklander 3: I voted Leave but I have changed my mind
- [applause]
- Bishop Aucklander 3: because in fact, I wasn't even, no, no, no!
- David Dimbleby: Touche!
- Bishop Aucklander 3: It wasn't, I was swinging to and forth, i couldn't make up my mind, and the only thing that changed my mind to Leave was at the Polls, on the Day, was because i read some sort of sob story about a man with a fishing boat who can't fish because the EU ruins his fishing rights! That's the only thing that swung me at the time. It was literally, it was literally Eeny Meany Miny Mo!
- David Dimbleby: And what would you, what would you like to see?
- Bishop Aucklander 3: I think a lot of people there was, you forget, there was a massive group of people who never voted!
- [Rod Liddle talks over her]
- Rod Liddle: There are people who voted Remain who now wish to Leave because they're sick of it all!
- Bishop Aucklander 3: [repeating herself] Knowing what kind of mess they're in now. would they now have...
- David Dimbleby: What do you want to happen?
- Bishop Aucklander 3: I want a Second Referendum! Because I'm not the only one who voted Leave, it's not a "Ooops look what I've done I've made a mistake!" it's a "Ooops someone lied to me, and now I know it's the wrong thing to do!" And I think, and I think that if you get your Second Referendum there's a huge possibility we'll be staying.
- [old man heckles her from behind]
- Bishop Aucklander 3: And I think you don't like that.
- Ian Lavery: Brexit has been so decisive, divisive, sorry, it's unbelievable!
- Ian Lavery: It'll be a Cliff-Edge Brexit regardless.
- Ayesha Hazarika: This is like saying "I'm not getting on this Lifeboat because I don't like that big massive Iceberg that's coming towards us!"
- Bishop Aucklander 4: I just want to say I'm getting so tired of this, Leave means Leave doesn't it? We need to unite together, don't we? You're never going to keep everyone happy, I think you lot should be embarrassed of the way you're portraying us in Europe and this timewasting on doing "Should we remain? Should we Leave?" We've made our decision, we need to get on with it!
- [applause]
- Rod Liddle: Exactly!
- David Dimbleby: What platitudinous drivel did you mean?
- Rod Liddle: I'm getting to that.
- David Dimbleby: Speed up.
- Jacob Rees-Mogg: By and large, you spend your money better than the Government spends it for you.
- Ayesha Hazarika: People now have a New Phenomenon where they are working but they are still locked in Poverty.
- Ayesha Hazarika: I know people they are working 3 jobs, they have no time to spend with their kids, they are often looking after Elderly Grandparents as well...
- David Dimbleby: Let Jacob respond because he was attacked from here, he was attacked from out there...
- Jacob Rees-Mogg: Oh, I'm a Conservative Politician, I'm used to it! To escape from Question Time in one piece is a privilege!
- Bishop Aucklander 5: Should allegations of assault, alleged sexual assault and rape be automatically believed until the alleged perpetrator's guilt is established?
