Question Time is always like that TheCrownless Send a noteboard - 23/10/2009 07:00:58 PM
The Labour party representatives have been getting a lot of stick recently. It's the nature of the format, it allows for bullying and when one of those people is a racist, holocaust denying fool who is intellectually incapable of matching the rest of the panel (especially Bonnie Greer) it was going to be carnage.
The audience should possibly have been stopped from making some of the more emotive statements and David Dimbleby could have tried to be more impartial, but you can hardly fault him when a person who goes against everything he believes in is sitting next to him like he has earned the right to be there.

I'll just quote what Bonnie said "I spent the entire night with my back turned to him. At one point, I had to restrain myself from slapping him. But it was worth it because he was totally trounced".
Come to the dark side, We have candy!

I'm Israel, he's Palestine, its more fun when you pick sides.

That was really quite disappointing. Legolas - 22/10/2009 11:42:58 PM 601 Views
I thought it was perfectly executed. TheCrownless - 22/10/2009 11:58:18 PM 571 Views
That's why I said it'd have been much more interesting without him. Legolas - 23/10/2009 12:33:57 AM 685 Views
I think it exposed him as an non-viable alternative TheCrownless - 23/10/2009 12:54:57 AM 706 Views
You clearly watched a different programme to me. *NM* Wibble - 23/10/2009 12:57:59 AM 292 Views
At which point did it show he was anywhere near capable of being a serious politician TheCrownless - 23/10/2009 01:15:20 AM 548 Views
At which point do you think any rational human being thought he was a serious politician? Wibble - 23/10/2009 01:21:38 AM 721 Views
