Question Time (Yet Again)
Why is it that whenever QT visits Scotland almost the entire programme is devoted to solely Scottish matters. There was a programme a few months ago which concentrated almost exclusively on Scottish Independence. Now, having been watching it for twenty minutes, the Dundee edition is heading the same way.
Programmes from England usually cover general issues of interest to the entire UK. The Scots make up only about 5% of the UK population. For the other 95% the Scottish issue is of little interest and something over which they have no control. Is it time for a separate QT for the minority components where they can prattle on to their hearts' content about matters of no interest to anybody else?

TTT do you mean whining or winning?? World of difference between the two words, but your effort doesn't exist. Question time coming from my home town so probably only natural that they would be discussing Scottish issues. If anyone has a problem with that then there are probably at least another 100 channels on your TV you could be watching. I am very interested in what's being discussed - far more than the usual prattle.
"...ive often watched QT from Scotland and the majority of the panel are English. "
The last two from Scotland comprised entirely Scottish panel members. The first of those two debated nothing but Independence. This one spent more than the first 50% on the same question (and has just reverted to it for the final five minutes). I don't recall there being only Essex boys and girls on it when it came from Basildon and they did discuss matters other than the Southend pier.
