QT tonight: Will you be tuning in?

[meridian]

They want to come across as a normal political party so will do whatever it takes to look normal and not like crazed facists.

Are we still talking about the BNP, or does this cover any political party (except perhaps the Lib Dems)?

Plus it's pre-recorded so the Beeb will do their editing trick if he starts ranting. Unfortunatly I think he is too clever for that. They want to come across as a normal political party so will do whatever it takes to look normal and not like crazed facists.

do you reckon it's been recorded already ?

[minestrone]

I think someone is going to kick off.

He will be winding them up no end.

Good point!

I think it might have been - I saw something on the BBC website before about it - (Nope - to be recorded later it looks like)

"The BBC Trust has asked Mr Thompson to ensure the pre-recorded programme is within BBC guidelines"

[EternalOptimist]

There is one thing I would like to know, and never bothered trying to find out.
Whats the BNP position on the Ghurkas, woule they be welcomed in with open arms ?
thats what I would ask him if I was in the audience

He's good at rallying support in front of his own crowd and getting them stirred up. When put under pressure in a more challenging environment he will fall apart IMO.

It's pre-recorded, but only a couple of hours before the broadcast.

They were clear on that. No Gurhkhas to settle here was/is their official policy.

Will they talk race the whole of QT, or will they move on to other mundane issues like the post strike and City bonuses?
