MORE DIMBLEDATA

*
Last night's Question Time was an unusual one indeed. It featured three right-of-centre panelists - Lord Lawson, Douglas Murray of the Centre for Social Cohesion and Jane Moore of the Sun. (When did this last happen? Has it ever happened before?) All three, moreover, were excellent (especially Jane). Even the audience contained a decent number of non-nutters for once! The main lesson I took away from watching it was that the Lib Dems hold opinions I find even less to my taste than Labour's. I can't think of a single thing I agreed with Baroness Tonge over (and much the same can be said of Sarah Teather last week). Our liberals are so left-wing.

  2. Did Dimblebore introduce Douglas Murray as being from a "right-wing" think tank ? If not, why not ?

    jennyblob. Nice to see a new contributor here and a good idea about QT having a guest chairman (person ? ) each week.

    Craig. If jennyblob is a female, I think you will need to start posting some photos of hunks and I don't mean John Prescott. Wouldn't want anyone to think this site is sexist !
