Question Time

[Bagpuss]

I watched this also and can't really understand why more isn't made of the pro Labour love in. Did anybody catch the bit when blears had a rant and the pissed up union bloke grabbed her arm and both shared a smug grin. FFS why are my taxes paying for this pig in a wig.

You may have noticed the guest is usually partisan in some way be it Labour, Lib or Con.

Fraser Nelson was on this week.....his blurb...
He is regarded as one of the UK's foremost political commentators, and in April he was voted ConservativeHome Writer of the Year by readers of the influential right-wing website.

So if anything this week was unfair to the Liberals.

There didn't seem to be much support for Labour's flagship ID cards policy for what was supposedly a partisan audience.

Maybe. That's a policy that is largely unpalatable to moderate left or right. It's only attractive to fascists.

The entire audience wasn't partisan, but there seemed to be an awful lot of clapping for an awful politician and the awful policies of her awful party.

Don't tell me there weren't plants in that audience. The mood just wasn't right. Where else would you hear such enthusiastic clapping for Blears?

Andrew 'Brillo' Neal just called Blears the 'Palin of the Labour Party'

She should work in a council tax office, she's got the people skills for it

There was a point in that show when the typical fat northern illiterate drunk sloth pointed at the audience and was trying to get his mate in the audience to help him. I love the beeb for slipping that one in, normally they would have censored it.

I can quite see her as the nasty, hectoring, gobby, northern bitch who interrogates the poor and downtrodden and makes them beg for their benefits.

She's like something out of the League of Gentlemen.

I know that, but it is rare to see

1 - a MP and A N Other so closely aligned - he only once didn't follow the party line
2 - actually grabbing the MP to congratulate them.

Your not doing yourself any favours with comments like that. The south east has it's fair share of "fat illiterate drunk sloths" I see them each and every day. Sometimes I really despise this territorial little country as demonstrated by your chip.

I don't know they quite often have the head of the CBI on, Littlejohn, Hastings or Hitchens.

If truth be known ITV is on more of a Labour love in, catch GMTV if you can stomach it.

Bagpuss, are you getting as irate as Ms Blears, that would be funny?

[pisces]

You won't find many anti-labour voices in the city of duffle coat wearing, hair cut dodging, chimpanzee accented throwbacks.

Anyway I thought 'blurs' looked rather rattled and came over like a rabbit in the proverbial headlights.
