Just to say we will be live later this evening for our weekly indulgence of Question Time. Fern Britton??? (I would have preferred Holly Willoughby I have to say if we are going to have presenters posing as political pundits ) Vince Cable – a biased BBC favourite graces the screen as does Fattie Clarke. Douglas Murray should be good and we can all have a laugh at the wretched Tessa Jowell! BTW – did anyone else hear Harriet Har-person being interviewed on 5 Live at lunchtime. What a man-hating enterprise-loathing crone she is – and such an easy ride from her pals on 5 Live.
QUESTION TIME LIVE!

Ha ha ha. The grotesquely stupid Tessa Jowell. On me baby’s life guv (as gypos are wont to say) I didn’t know how my mortgage was paid and I thought that Sylvio was the name of his mistress.
David,
Nice one !! I am just back from Gambia and Senegal and will post on the general comments another time.
Can’t believe how utterly trivial QT is , but guess I shall watch tonight.
Welcome back Grant – nice to hear from you again.
How Ken Clarke reacts to what Douglas Murray has to say will be an interesting acid test of the current ethos of the Conservative party. The audience will probably be fairy hostile towards him (Murray) since he mostly talks about Islamism, sounds like royalty and is an Etonian, but as we all know, Question Time audiences are representative of nothing more than some BBC producer’s fevered imagination.
Dare anyone ask Tessa for her opinion on unfreezing the mortgage market given she has take out far more mortgages that most people. Let’s hope she doesn’t say “Get some euros from your good friend B and use a mortgage as a swop vehicle to launder the source of the euros and avoid income tax”!

Thank you. I shall post about black African academics’ and professionals’ views of the BBC’s international output. And other matters.

Excellent post !
Live blog not working yet. Just blog here?
Ken Clarke against Tessa Jowell. The intellectual equivalent of Man United v Billericay Town. Somebody in Labour’s strategy team is asleep on the job.
Tessa Jowell seemed quite rattled and got very little support from the audience. She reall is unbelievably stupid.
