What did people think of the Tories refusing to put anyone up against Campbell?


Bloody pathetic is my opinion. Shows the strength of their front line, when no one has the guts to debate with a heavyweight.

I think it was a great example of the value that an institution like the BBC is to society. In so many countries in this world the ruling party would be dictating to the broadcaster which member of the opposition they could invite.


Hopefully it really pissed off those in the conservative party who would have the BBC scrapped in favour of their minister for propaganda Mr Murdoch?s Media Empire.

One of the points made last night if I understood right is the BBC invites people, as opposed to the parties putting people up.

I suspect the BBC approach the party, or at least a particular department, and see who is available. The point was that they wern't going to be told by another party who they culd and couldn't have on, and quite right to!

That is more than rather worrying, Keef.

Piers Morgan is a corrupt, talentless piece of filth.

I didn't see the programme, but I'm willing to bet he was foghorning to the gallery, I mean why change the formula?

But then, never mind.

Interestingly I read today that David Laws, Treasury Chief Secretary, is now embroiled in a repayment of ?40,000 of expenses http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/may/29/david-laws-treasury-expenses-claim and is "fighting for his political life", well The Guardian thinks so anyway.


I imagine it's purely coincidence that it was him who was originally pencilled in to appear http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/may/27/government-boycott-question-time-alastair-campbell .

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
