Jack Straw did little to show he is anything other then a complete idiot, when called on any of the issues that were “debated”, if at all anything of note was.
Bonnie Greer did nothing to show that she knows much about what her position in the British Museum should represent.
Baroness Warsi showed that she is a liar – an articulate liar certainly – but a liar nonetheless.
Peter Hain showed that he doesn’t really have any ideas other then to take any opportunity to take cheap shots.
Nick Griffin did little to raise his profile from being a contemptuous man.
David Dimbleby showed that he simply takes feeds from the production team, and the BBC showed that it knows how to stack an audience to ensure maximum controversy, and not give a damn about political integrity.
The real sadness here was that there was an opportunity for the public to see a debate on policy in various forms, and learn – amongst other things – that the BNP have little if any policy that is workable, makes sense, or isn’t derived from a bigoted point of view.
The other great irritation and worse – what is verging on censorship by the BBC – was that any attempt to ask a question that wasn’t a dig at the BNP was just skipped over by Dimbleby, on the pretence that it would be revisited later, when naturally they had run out of time because everyone had spent too long digging at Mr Griffin.
Love him or loathe him, he was the only person on that panel that actually turned up to take part in Question Time – and the other panellists and the BBC come out of that program looking very bad indeed. They should all be ashamed of themselves.
