BBC’s Question Time is fairly dire. It mostly seems to be a Tory enemy of the working class not finding too much of substance to disagree with while some New Labourite drones on. A Lib Dem occasionally say something
not too offensive as a former drummer from Status Quo makes you wonder what the BBC is playing at by having him as a panellist. Well that’s how it seems to me but like most of my opinions it’s based on not much more than seething prejudice and a short attention span.
It promises to be a bit more interesting this week. The programme’s site says of Welsh Assembly member Leanne Wood: “A socialist and republican, in December 2004 she was the first Assembly member to be ordered out of the chamber for referring to the Queen as “Mrs Windsor” during a debate. She later said: “I don’t recognise the Queen. I called her that because that’s her name.” Excellent!
Here’s hoping she gets asked back again.
