The Parliamentary seat of Brecon and Radnorshire is represented by LibDem Roger Williams. Williams is a man so successful that he went from LibDem Welsh Spokeweasel before the election to apparently no job afterwards, and his profile page on the main LibDem website gives a PageNotFound error.
On the panel we have David Willetts, Andrew Neil’s favourite chocolate hob-nob Diane Abbott, Plaid’s Leanne Wood, Matthew Parris and Kelvin MacKenzie (again). Wood is only known for her morbid fascination with “wimmins issues” and being the first AM to be thrown out of the Welsh Assembly (for insulting The Queen).
For those playing the Buzzword Bingo, we’ll be invoking the KneeJerk Responses Protocols which means that Gun Control, Israeli Piracy, and BP Oil Slick all merit an extra free roll of the dice. Those with the phrase “Something Must Be Done” on their cards will be handicapped by a pre-game deduction of 50 points, and news that over 1,000 schools have asked to become Academies will only be worth a point if referred to in a negative way.
As usual the LiveBlog will also cover the entertainingly awful This Week, presented as usual by a bewigged and insane bingo caller from Paisley at the twilight of his career.
Once again David Vance, TheEye and David Mosque will be holding back the hordes of barbarians here from 10:30pm.
I see that some people are upset about the panel composition last night – http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23bbcqt – ‘Very disappointed to see a Question Time panel with one Tory MP, one former Tory MP and one Tory ex-editor of the Sun #bbcqt ‘ I wonder if this person was as upset over the last few years with panels composed of three or four left of centrists and one conservative?
Of all the Labour leadership contenders, why Diane Abbott ? And does this mean all the others will be on the panel over the next few weeks ? If not, why not ?
