Hi 
all! I’ve been away all day and am being taken out tonight by my wife and kids to celebrate my birthday so I won’t be able to do the liveblogging thing on Question Time that we all seemed to enjoy back in December! I promise to get this going next week but I would suggest that tonight should be real leftist hate-fest, with Israel in particular in for a mauling. So, tune in and watch it if you dare, and leave your comments here! Tongue will be worth a watch but the I bet audience will be baying…!
QUESTION TIME WATCH.

It is well known at the BBC that flying is only polluting when poor people do it.
Dimbelbies and the rest of them would like to go back to the days when only very rich people could afford to fly uncomtaminated by contact with nasty pollution causing common television tax payers.

Spot on. That’s Al Beeb to a ‘T’.
Go here for a more balanced view of last night’s QT. Looks like a lesson in balance to me, audience and panel alike.

Happy Birthday David!
mikewineliberal: No but your rent boy loving mates were given a kicking. When dimblebore had to order the microphone bloke to remove it from the sensible woman (and he was clearly losing his temper with someone supporting Israel) you knew the left had lost the plot.
Tonge is a hag and a loon. She’s a female(?) version of Tony Benn except I can’t make out if she’s more mentally retarded than he.
Philip: Perhaps if we restricted EVERYONE to flying twice a year I wonder how the rich liberals would like that? That would work for me I hate flying but would Roger Harrabin like the idea of only two flights a year? Or Emma Thompson?
Martin: There would be squeals of despair from Hampstead to Shepherds Bush 😉
“But Dahhling. Gather. Do you not realise I have to go and collect an award?’

The panel was 4 from the “left”, including the dreadful Dimblebore and 2 from the “right”. As usual it is biased from the start in favour of the left. Agree ?
‘Joe’ says that this is a hate site and that’s why they all come here, for the bloodthirsty orgy and to “b***** orf to a left whiny site ya wimp”.
This is not a hate site. It’s a great site polluted with ugliness. Is the alternative to a ‘left whiny site’ as you put it, really a site filled with obscenities and hatred? There’s plenty of ugly obscenities and hatred on ‘left whiny’ sites – you therefore fit with them. The opposite to a ‘left whiny site’ is a site with truth, decency, moral standards and intelligent debate which kind of makes you look out of place here.
I believe that the people who run this web-site would agree with me.
‘Adolf’ says that he comes here to meet fellow racists, and has nothing to with biased BBC and tell me to sod off if I can’t handle nasty mean b******* like him and that he is the future.
David Vance – I know you are trying to control such vileness but this is why the site needs moderation.
Cheer up Paul B, there’s a good lad.
As Mr. Banks said in Mary Poppins – ” I am in a perfectly equable mood and do not require to be cheered up”!
Thanks to all for the birthday wishes, what’s another year, eh?
Anyway, some great comments on the dreadful QT. Watched it earlier, Tongue was grotesque and Dimblebore did cut off the one well spoken lady who did not swallow the pro-Hamas propaganda.
I appreciate that my request for more polite language will take a little time to bed in but would appreciate it if those who still swear gratuitously would back off. Thanks.
David,
Hadn’t watched QT in absolutely ages and was thinking ‘wow, I wonder if Dimbleby prompts some interesting discussions this evening?’
What I should’ve thought of course was ‘wow, I wonder if Dimbleby has become a bitter old fart that cuts off people he doesn’t agree with?’.
Would love to give DimbleBerk a good smack in the kisser for turning this once fine programme into a neutered sounding-board for the right-on brigade.
Prick.
Philip, London: Perhaps the rich liberals might like the idea of taking a good old fashioned sailing ship across the Atlantic?
Has McGowen ever been on QT before? Or is he trying to spice up his ailing career by jumping on the z-celebs “protest about anything that the BBC will report” wagon?
Actually – McGowen has all the qualifications to be a climate change expert.
“He graduated from the University of Leeds with a BA English degree in 1986 and he then went to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, where he graduated in 1989.”

In fact maybe he is more qualified than Harribin.

More bollocks from the Labour droid. Fact is the British Army all but defeated the IRA militarily. The SAS lads were taking them out like mad dogs. The IRA had no where else to go but a political solution. Either that or die.
Just part and parcel of the BBC editorial policy that the IRA and NI are an analogy for almost any conflict. They’ve been slowly pushing that analogy in Afghanistan (done several segments on it on the radio and on tv), and we saw hints of this a couple weeks back about Israel and Hamas.
They’re consistent, and it’s spread across the spectrum of both domestic and World News.
The real problem is that this editorial position must by definition mean that the analogue of the IRA is in the right, and deserving of power in government. Of course, we can all see where that line of thinking leads.
It’s an editorial position entrenched in certain quarters, and I’d like to hear somebody explain how I’m wrong. That’s HOW I’m wrong about this, not simply “You’re wrong, don’t be daft.”
i had to turn the crap off after 20 mins when all they were going on about was global bloody warming. yes its that hot we’ve now got great whites off our coast
effin bloody lefty scumbags
I also noticed the ‘cutoff’ of the woman starting to make a very important point about Hamas war crimes. HER crime was to be eloquent,middle class and balanced.
What was particularly disturbing was the way the David had a go at the Microphone guy along the lines of ‘when I say you move the mic – you move it’ – if it had been a pro-hamas speaker (dare I say it from a muslim contributor – no disrespect intended), would he have been so quick? I actually think this is worthy of a complaint!
PS – happy birthday!
