Fiona Bruce forced to intervene after BBC QT audience member’s ‘terrorist’ accusation<\/h3>\n

Fiona Bruce was forced to intervene when a Question Time audience member accused a Sinn F\u00e9in politician of \u201csupporting\u201d a terrorist organisation.<\/p>\n

The audience erupted into applause when North Belfast MP John Finucane was accused of backing Hamas.<\/p>\n

The man said: \u201cFiona, it came as no surprise to me whatsoever there that John Finucane deliberately dodged your question. He clearly supports a terrorist organisation in Hamas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The members of the public clapped following this remark.<\/p>\n

The man then continued: \u201cAnd the rest of his cronies in the Sinn F\u00e9in are in bed with another terrorist organisation, it being the IRA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question Time host Ms Bruce immediately stepped in to let Mr Finucane answer the \u201cvery serious allegations\u201d made against him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr Finucane had earlier in the programme refused to answer a question on whether he agreed that one of Israel\u2019s \u201cstated aims\u201d was to destroy Hamas.<\/p>\n

In response to the audience member, Mr Finucane said: \u201cIt\u2019s completely untrue and I think what we\u2019re seeing is an opportunity to take the sovereignty of thousands and thousands of people in the Middle East to make what I would describe as a fairly cheap political point in what is a very serious conversation.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve made an accusation against me and that\u2019s fine. You have your own view and I\u2019m not going to patronise you to change it but I\u2019m someone who grew up during a conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m someone who had the conflict inflicted upon me, and very partially, as a result of the murder of my father.<\/p>\n
