Military veteran tells BBC Question Time ‘public inquiry’ into Afghanistan situation is needed
A military veteran has been praised for requesting a public inquiry during the BBC's Afghanistan focused edition of Question Time, while presenter Fiona Bruce has faced backlash.
A British military veteran, who served in Afghanistan in 2017 and 2018, told the panel: "The only way I can not be utterly embarrassingly humiliated about my service is if we, a democratic nation, hold those responsible to account and have a full parliamentary enquiry.”
Viewers were annoyed when Bruce interrupted the veteran to state an incorrect point.
“Fiona Bruce interrupting a passionate heartfelt speech with a pointless formality, and getting it wrong anyway,” one said.
