While the merits of what she said can wait for another day an interesting development has occurred, actually it had broke just as Question Time was finishing, This young lady is Amy Rutland and according to her twitter profile she works for the Labour party( Regional Policy Co-ordinator ) .
What are the odds that they got thro that whole conversation without mentioning Question Time and the fact they are both appearing?

While KT does not claim that any wrong doing has taken place KT is worried that all parties are hijacking political shows with their plants and pushing out the view of the taxpayer and voter and person in the street, Politicians and political parties wonder why so many refuse to vote for them, well it is because of this type of gutter politics.
Planting a question in the commons to assist your respective front bench is one thing, planting soundbites and party spin in the audience and thus attempting to silence views of ordinary people is a disgrace and shames the parties involved!

Please do not post the home address (or any other personal details) of anyone mentioned in this post, it will be deleted.
I found her too.
ReplyDeleteShe deleted the tweets concerning UKIP/Question Time, then made her whole Twitter page unviewable by public.
She's also deleted her LinkedIn profile.
she is running scared now she thourght she would be all over the news this morning but sadly she went down like a lead balloon lol stupid girl 15 mins of fame is harder to get than you thourght
ReplyDeleteThis is political debate at its most disgusting, it is hard to believe that the producers were not aware of who she was given the volume of face time on screen that she had...
ReplyDeleteOf course everyone is entitled to their views, but the politicians are supposed to be at the front with ordinary members of the public in the audience...
The BBC standards are not sinking, they have sunk.
Give us her full name, address and phone number.
ReplyDeleteMake her life hell for the next 5 years.

ReplyDeleteNot sure if the last comment made it through to be moderated. At risk of duplication, will have another og.
ReplyDeleteHer LinkedIn profile can be partially seen by clicking the Google cached version, stopping the page loading and then clicking 'text version' her role is "Regional Policy Coordinator at the Labour Party" i.e. a Labour plant.
her account is private now, but i found here username and followed her on twitter before she had got home to Margate in the cab. I can still see her tweets. Shes cleared all back to 8 hours before BBCQT and removed all references on profile to Labour.

ReplyDelete"Don't miss out on Question Time tonight, you'll see
me rip into the disgusting UKIP woman! -- Amy Rutland
(@rutters101)"
Clearly no shame at revealing herself as a misogynist then.
For the champagne socialists and self acclaimed 'liberals' race and multikulti trumps every other professed concern.
1) The Question Time audience has always been stuffed with members from all the political parties, I remember watching a 'making of' documentary a few years ago and it's a big thing for all local parties if QT rolls into town. And 2) If you do belong to a political party that doesn't mean that you're a 'politician', you are still a member of the public. Door knockers and leaflet posters from all the parties will always make up a sizable chunk of any QT audience because they are ordinary members of the public with a strong interest in politics.
ReplyDeleteA Disgraceful pre-planned attack on UKIP by the Labour party....labour is well known for dirty tricks and it is good to see them caught red handed. The slimy, fat Amy Rutland appears to have gone into hiding now she's been rumbled. The big question is if the BBC were in on it too. The balance of probability is that they were, QT has long been accused of stuffing the QT audience with the left, primed to attack opinions the BBC doesn't approve of, its inconceivable hey didn't know that Labour were planning to attack UKIP for 'raaaycism' hence why Rutland knew her question would be featured..... another nail in the coffin for the TV poll tax

ReplyDeleteLabour - the face of sneering hypocrisy. Rutter the Nutter is that face...
ReplyDelete"To rub the rights nose in it" and gerrymander themselves a few million votes. The labour party cannot be trusted.
ReplyDeleteAnyone trust Miliband's speech now? If Twigg knew, Miliband knew too.
ReplyDeleteAmy may be rather fat but her point still stands.
ReplyDeleteWhat point would that be? Calling people you disgree with, on national television, "disgusting" - not "wrong" or "we disagree" but "disgusting". Is that the point that still stands or was there something else she said. Elucidate, please.
DeleteGreat catch, Billy. There seems to be some question over the timing of her tweet. If she tweeted before broadcast, then in theory UKIP could have caught it and prepped Diane James, if she tweeted during or after, then you'd have to prove the BBC knew and weren't merely misled by someone lying on the audience application form.
ReplyDeleteDo you have actual URLs and/or embed code for these and not just screenshots?
Still no excuse for Twigg, of course.
I am pretty certain (99%) that tweet was sent after recording but before or just as show was broadcast.
DeleteOh, well. Thanks.
DeleteApparently she is now known as Rutter The Nutter in unkind senior Labour circles, for screwing up so badly and leading the evidence trail to Stephen Twigg. That is the fat little trogg's political career with NuLabour effectively over.
ReplyDeleteHave those naughty UKIP'rs forgiven and forgotten yet......err in a word no:
