HOST DAVE DIMBLEBY THREW MAN OUT OF QUESTION TIME AUDIENCE FOR SHOUTING AT A TORY MINISTER
The TV veteran was so irritated by the man's constant interruptions, he had him removed.
David Dimbleby threw a rowdy audience member out of BBC Question Time tonight, after he repeatedly shouted at a Tory minister.
The audience member, who identified himself as a Jeremy Corbyn supporter, questioned whether Theresa May had legitimacy as Prime Minister after failing to get a majority.
He ranted: " Jeremy Corbyn has proven that anti-austerity policies are popular! The Tories and the Blairites lost that election."
But as Justice Secretary David Lidington tried to defend the struggling Tory government, he repeatedly interrupted him and other panellists, shouting out for the rich and corporations to be taxed more heavily.
Dimbleby tried to calm the man down, saying: "I know you have your views. You're one person in an audience of 150, I don't want you taking over this programme. He's speaking, let him speak."
But as Lidington attempted to explain about the Tories' need to find a solution to the social care crisis, the man shouted out again, calling for corporation tax to be increased.
The fuming justice secretary snapped, pointing and shouting at the disruptive audience member.
He said: "The corporation tax yield has gone shooting up since the government reduced the rates of corporation tax providing more money for the National Health Service, Schools, Social Care and the other Public Services - so please show a bit of financial literacy."
Even as pro-Remain campaigner Gina Miller moved the conversation on to the complications of Theresa May's hung parliament , the man shouted again.
"She's a zombie Prime Minister!", he shouted.
This was all too much for TV veteran Dimbleby, who said: "Listen, I think you ought to leave."
As security staff closed in on the man, he picked up his bag and left to a rapturous round of applause from irritated audience members.
