    On moving ‘Queston Time’ around Britain: for what fake purpose? As documented on  ‘B-BBC’ here, no matter from whichever location ‘QT’ is broadcast, we have the same sort of pro-Labour panel and audience selection by BBC. And, add to that, the extra time and cost of moving the biased political show around the country. Oh no, and five more years of Dimbleby’s pro-Labour interruptions.

        Melanie:  “Moreover, the BBC is funding this lunacy by butchering the World Service – the jewel in the crown that for so many ­suffering under tyranny round the world has long been the one thing that has kept their hope of freedom alive.”
