This Question Time audience member voted for Brexit for the stupidest reason
Question Time audiences are a bizarre thing. They're extremely passionate about politics, but confused about what's going on.
Typical Question Time audience member, pictured above
But on Question Time yesterday, one audience member annoyed more people than most audience members, when she outlined the reason why she voted to leave the EU.
I don't mean to pick on her, but… Seriously‽

@davey erm... what supermarkets does she go to?! Mine are never straight. Stupid bint.
— Phil Ford (@philford) February 2, 2017
Which is a good question. Not many people have found straight bananas in any supermarket. Never seen a straight banana in Tesco or Lidl.
@philford She said they're more bent in Aldi. Aldi, a German supermarket.
— Davey (@davey) February 2, 2017
She voted for Brexit, risking decades of economic and social harm, because the bananas in Aldi are too straight.
Seriously.
Here's her full reasoning, which doesn't get any more logical, we're afraid.
People online, Brexiters and non-Brexiters, are despairing. And she's quickly become known as Banana Woman.
In a crowded field, the banana woman might just have won the "stupidest member of the Question Time audience ever" award #bbcqt

@RamAlbumClub didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Then later I felt sorry for her cause she's thick.

Imagine blowing up your life because you bought a banana whose shape appauled you. I mean what kind of imbecile would you have to be.

But on the bright side, at least now we'll be able to grow our own, bendy, British bananas when we've left the EU.
Well, I had a good sleep last night safe in the knowledge that my bananas will never, EVER, be straight #bbcqt

Not sure why people are having a go at me, it makes perfect sense. Bent bananas equals freedom #bbcqt

So it's not all bad news. But all in all, we're starting to think this second Question Time audience member may have been right.
This audience member says Brexit was too complicated a decision to be decided by referendum #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/G6tHuXqNUt
