A couple of vignettes from this week's largely enjoyable editions of The Daily Politics, where it's usually the reports you've got to be vigilant about.

On Wednesday Adam Fleming was out and about discussing a potential American takeover of Cadburys. Besides the vox-pops, the only talking heads were Len McClusky, the Unite union hardliner, and the ubiquitous Will Hutton of The Work Foundation. Now there's a broad spectrum of left-wing opinion for you!

Then on Tuesday we had Giles Dilnot talking about 'tackling extremism' and whether the Muslim community was feeling upset. He talked to Khayyam Ghafoor of the Waltham Forest Young Leaders Programme (as he was billed by the BBC, though the organisation is actually called the Waltham Forest Young Muslim Leaders Programme), who was both a Muslim and upset, and to a Labour minister David Hansen (never heard of him before) and a Labour councillor Marie Pye.

One positive aspect was that Andrew Neil came over as a real Global Warming sceptic and gave Charles Clarke and the Tory Giles (?) Clark a pretty hard time.
ReplyDeleteGuess the Beeboids will have to send Neil for re-programming.
Yes, that was the bit I especially enjoyed too!
