Dear @bbcquestiontime Tom Skinner on Question Time is the BBC equivalent of inviting the loudest bloke in the pub because he “speaks his mind.” Great for viral clips, terrible for actual political debate. Skinner isn’t there to inform anyone — he’s there because he shouts, he mugs for the camera, and he trends. That’s it. No expertise, no depth, no grasp of policy beyond “common sense” clichés you could hear from a taxi rank at 2am. Putting him on Question Time doesn’t elevate the conversation. It drags the show down to the level of a breakfast‑TV soundbite factory. Every time the BBC hands a seat to a reality‑TV personality instead of someone who actually understands the issues, it proves the show cares more about engagement metrics than meaningful discussion. Not that this is surprising anymore! If the goal is serious debate, Skinner adds nothing. If the goal is cheap entertainment, just say that — and stop pretending it’s public service broadcasting. #bbcqt
