Well, for those brave enought to tune in, Question Time is upon us. Tonight we have Margaret a Beckett, Jeremy Hunt, Baroness Williams (again) Brian Moore and Simon Heffer. Let’s take it apart, live.
QUESTION TIME WATCH.

The private sector has not created wealth. In case you have not noticed, the banks have been claiming benefits. Both the private and public sector are run by incompetent retards, there’s little difference.
Heffer wants socialist welfare for the private sector…the whole point of the free market is the taxpayer should not have to pay a penny for it.
Why should the taxpayer subsidise businesses? If they can’t survive let them die.
BTW I’m hoping the Spanish buy all the UK banks, it will be better for the economy.

The private sector sure has been creating wealth – every day for the last 250 years at least.
If you dispute this, then ask yourself: where do these bailout “benefits” come from in the first place? The taxpayers. Where do taxes come from? The private sector. Bank bailouts are like ripping skin off your arse to graft onto your face. Or rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, take your pick.
Here is a sample of what Fox News Radio is like (available on the internet); the Spencer Hughes Show. Here he interviews the best-selling author Andrew Klavan who wrote ‘True Crimes’ which was turned into a film by Clint Eastwood.

Andrew Klavan: The free market has been skewed by ideology. They keep making these films that make no money, and they give them awards, and the critics praise them, and they make no money whatsoever, but they keep making them, and the reason they keep making them is because they get prestige from them; they get awards, they get invited to cocktail parties, they get good reviews, people shake their hands and say ‘Oh you’re so courageous because you attacked the troops and you attacked our mission’, so there’s another system operating besides the free market. If it were just the free market, believe me, a lot of Americans want to see films in which our soldiers are the heroes that they are, and this is the other thing about this, these films are dishonest, they are not showing the troops as they really are. I understand that there are guys who suffer from post-traumatic stress and do bad things. I understand that there are bad guys in the army like there are everywhere else, but they only tell their stories, and that’s what Hollywood has done, to only tell their stories. It’s a kind of slander by omission. By leaving things out you create this false impression. So I agree, the free market should be in operation, but the free market has been stunted by left-wing ideology, and anti-American ideology.
Spencer Hughes: One of my favourite movies is Red Dog
Andrew Klavan: Great film
…
What is interesting about that movie is how it’s one of the very, very few anti-communist movies that Hollywood made, whereas it’s made dozens and dozens of movies about how evil Senator McCarthy was for hunting down communists and how evil the House Committee on un-American Activities was for blacklisting screen-writers, but no movies about Stalin, no movies about the Gulags, no movies about the threats that faced us from the Soviets both internally and externally, and no movies about the heroics of guys like Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II and Margaret Thatcher in stopping them finally.
Spencer Hughes: Exactly
Do you perhaps mean ‘Red Dawn’ Mr. Caveman? That was a good World War 3 film with a pro-American, anti-Soviet Union tilt. I’m not aware of any called Red Dog.
Robert S. McNamara:
Oh, sorry, it must have been ‘Red Dawn’ he said in the interview.
On the sublect of films, is there a pro-American Vietnam film with John Wayne in? I think I heard there was such a film a while ago, but maybe I am mistaken
What about when Rocky knocked out the Ruskie. That was the best one.
Mr Caveman (10:49)
The film with the Duke was Green Berets.
