Question Time LiveBlog 23rd Sept 2010

Question Time tonight comes from Liverpool, home to the United Kingdom’s first council house and the first Juvenile Court. This may not be a coincidence.

Controlled by Labour and without any Tory representation, Liverpool City Council was rated in 2008 as the worst-performing council in the country. This may also not be a coincidence.

On the panel we have the BBC’s newly re-haloed St Vince of Cable, John Redwood, Caroline Flint, Ian Hislop and the nutter’s nutter Mehdi Hasan.

For those playing the Buzzword Bingo, we’ll be playing the LibDem Conference Rules which means players are banned from bringing knitting needles or helium balloons. Bonus points tonight for Spivs and use of the word Comrade. Be aware of the diagonal moves allowed on the new bingo cards, meaning for example that getting Thatcher, cuts and starving orphans in one answer, or perhaps Carriers, Bribing and Labour Voters on the purple squares, is an instant win.

Returning as well, the LiveBlog will also cover the entertainingly awful This Week, presented by Brillo in cahoots, apparently, with Michael Portillo and Diane Abbott again. Is she really back? Can this be true?

David Vance, TheEye and David Mosque will be engaged in legitimate crowd control here from 10:30pm.

    Including Dimbleby that makes five to the left and one to the right.  Fine example of BBC impartiality.

      Apparently Andrew Neil has also suddenly become a left wing marxist along with all of his guests.

    He used to take more pot shots at the Conservatives than the Lib-Labbers combined, although not as left-wing as Paul Murton.

    Hmm, not sure I’d agree with that – but regardless of party attacks, his political views are distinctly right

    Just don’t mention that Liverpool City Council was controlled by the Liberal Democrats between 1998 – 2010 ‘eh David?

    Dez is right. The Liberal Democrats ran Liverpool City Council from 1998 to 2010. Not, as you mistakenly claim, Labour. I am interested to know, did you:

    a)not check the facts?
    b)check with an unreliable source?
    c)alter the facts to achieve a bias?

    I hope it’s c) because that would be funny! 😉
