Question Time LiveBlog : The Return!

Our old favourite – Question Time is back tonight!

Not just any jewel, but the very Koh-I-Noor of BBC bias returns with a peach of a broadcast:  a Labour leadership special where the five candidates will be on the panel facing questions from a hand-picked audience.

You should all have received your new-season Buzzword Bingo cards by now. For the first programme you’ll need the set which has a picture of David Cameron eating a kitten on them. Play is expected to be brisk, as Thatcher, cuts, evil, fairness, and equality will all go quickly. References to private education win you a Diane Abbott shaped Souvenir SoapOnARope from the BBC Executive Washrooms. Bonus roll of the dice for any mention of Harriet Hatemen having 4 votes in the election.

Reverse triangulation is in play, and because of weekday maintenance on the Circle Line, this week Trade Unions are only valid with a common people undercard, and riots are wild unless your strike action joker has lapsed.

See you here on the picket-line, in the company of David Vance, David Mosque and TheEye, from just before 10:35 until just after 11:35.

    Five left of centre policicians on the panel, so what’s the difference from a normal QT panel?

    I’ll obtain some industrial strength meths and see you later (although seeing double od Abbott could do some neurolgical damage). I think Ed Balls will be campaigning for Shadow Chancellor which may prove boring.

    I don’t think I could stomach five of them, all fighting to prove who can attack the Government the hardest, whilst seeing who can distance themselves the furthest from the car-crash that was the one eyed mong’s stint at Chancellor and PM.

    Following the theme of the panel, will the BBC have a 100% left wing filled audience instead of the more usual 90% one?

    Does anyone recall the BBC doing a Question Time Conservative Leadership Special shortly after the May 1997 election?

      My thoughts exactly, more free blatant propaganda for the left.  On a different note,  does it seem strange that two brothers should be in politics and running for the leadership? You could not make it up and get away with it.

      Votes in the ’97 Conservative Leadership election were restricted to MP’s – so there wasn’t much point in a public debate.

      Never mind Olly boy, just make sure you don’t mention 2001:

      or 2005:

      Because that would make your comment look a bit stupid. xox

    It’s disgusting. And as you say, Olly boy, there was no equivalent for the Tories after their equivalent of Labour’s recent election disaster.

    Ever since the Nick Griffin episode I have despised QT, and Dimbleby for being a part of it. I don’t think the BBC is as biased as some people seem to, but I do think QT is a complete joke. Its bias can be gobsmacking.

    And also a few years ago they had that cross-dressing artist on dressed as Little Bo Peep. As if it would be such a terrible burden for him to appear dressed normally on a public forum, supposedly serious in its political and social content.

    Honestly, I don’t know whether to laugh or scream:
