Do you understand?


Did anyone watch Question Time last week? I'm an old git with too much time on my hands and I have become more interested in politics and as a result watch the programme.
What a fiasco and what a deeply poor debate it was. There was only one panel member who acquitted himself with honour and who produced balanced arguments and that was Fraser Nelson the editor of The Spectator. At the other end of the scale George Galloway just spouted hateful vitriol. What a poor choice.
The audience weren't much better. One would expect that in any group of people one would find a certain number of morons but this audience had more than its fair share.
David Dimbleby wasn't very good in the chair and should maybe start to consider if he's up to it. People talking over each other and some just spouting political propaganda. Not a very interesting or satisfying programme. Come on BBC sort it out.
Talking of morons did you see that a judge had to dismiss a jury recently because they asked him unbelievably stupid questions and failed to understand their brief?
Hmmm, there's a bit of a trend here.

  1. George Galloway - eeew, I need a shower now I've said it. I didn't see it this week but the last few I've seen seem to be celebrating confrontation a bit too much. I suspect it's not accidental.
    This whole Vicki Pryce trial is too much... now the jury... they need Judge Judy I think. She'd tell them what's what.

  2. Last nights episode was somewhat muted, presumably because it was taking place in St Pauls. Hey ho.
