More info<\/p>\n<p>A Question Time audience member appeared to expose BBC bias after he claimed it was &#8220;quite nice to be invited to a Tory roast&#8221;. The remark followed several audience members and panel guests who were highly critical of the Government&#8217;s mixed messaging on coronavirus ahead of Christmas. However, it appeared to &#8220;hit a nerve&#8221; with Fiona Bruce, according to viewers, as the BBC host furiously denied the claim.<\/p>\n<p>The debate programme last night took place in Weston-super-Mare.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The man, who works for Royal Mail, said: &#8220;It&#8217;s quite nice to be invited to a Tory roast.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I&#8217;m quite happy not to have a Christmas Party.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ms Bruce responded: &#8220;I&#8217;m not sure anyone would describe this as a Tory roast.
