. . . . . . It’s actually been mentioned by other people in the media that she appears an awful lot on Question Time so much so somewhat of an industry joke.
Not being in the industry I’m not sure what the joke is, as there are others who appear on the programme a lot.
But then again maybe what’s ‘funny’ is this: Question time set out some years ago to find more qualified women panellists. When it came to industry, media and Parliament, they were limited by the fact that all 3 areas have low proportions of women in senior positions. After all these years it’s still so difficult for them to find female panellists on a par with the better male panellists that they keep coming back to the same one(s).
The fact she looks unlined and symmetrical probably makes it easier too.
From Wiki:
“Chakrabarti is a frequently invited contributor to BBC Radio 4 and various newspapers on the topic of human rights and civil liberties. The Observer wrote that she puts in “seemingly endless appearances on Question Time and the rolling news bulletins”. She was also described in The Times newspaper as “the most effective public affairs lobbyist of the past 20 years”
I have nothing against her personally.
