David Starkey on Question Time last night

[TimberWolf]

Great stuff.

[SueEllen]

Thought the Tory guy performed very well.

That's cos Starky was there.

The guy from football has the most monotonous voice ever.

With that and Starky I could only watch 20 minutes in bursts.

[Freamon]

I didn't watch it, frankly I'm a little surprised he's on TV so soon after Newsnight last summer.

Did he have a go at The Blacks again?

[adubya]

It's OK blaming the previous party for the first year, but that excuse becomes old quickly

NuLab spent the first 5 years or so blaming the previous Tory government(s) for everything under the sun, what goes around comes around.

No he stayed away from racism.

He managed to bring sexism, homophobia, islamophobia, nationalism, the Nazis, cheese eating surrender monkeys, heartless aliens, Tony Bliar is a war criminal and Labour are tulipe into the argument.

Bit like a normal day on CUK really.

I thought he was very good actually. The way he shot down the fat bloke said that they shouldn't keep talking about the way Labour left the economy was a highlight. Why should they be excused etc. I can see how he probably bug people, but I thought he was the best person on there last night! Although that wouldn't be too difficult!

WHS^

Opinionated as he is I find it quite refreshing to see someone speak his mind without worrying what others think. I thought he was spot on with most of his arguments, he had a good go at the ungrateful French to.

IIRC he called the fat lefty guy in the audience a moron.

[pacharan]

No he stayed away from racism.

He managed to bring ..... homophobia, .... into the argument.

Bit like a normal day on CUK really.

Isn't he a woofter?

[MarillionFan]

Isn't he a woofter?

Yep. Makes Gricerboy look like Churchill in a Disney Princess chaperone contest.

Yep and they were also idoits, You never hear Thatcher moaning about the last government, she got it sorted.

[Waldorf]

Yes, sadly though some of the public quickly forget and of course Labour politicians are keen to assist in helping the public forget that it was on their watch that the fooked up the economy.

As doe David Starkey, I thought he was superb. Yes he sometimes enjoys winding people up for no apparent reason, but his underlying message is very sound.

I thought the Labour woman on the panel was way out of her depth, considering she has a shadow treasury role, I see Labour have no learnt, ie having incompetent individuals in the most important posts.

John Redwood was excellent, some people seem to find him 'odd' but I think he has a good brain and should be in the cabinet, kick Vince Cable out and make him Business Secretary! (I can dream).
