My! was it bad last night, the two female MP's and Baldrick were particularly awful :eek:

I'm sure you're right, but for a long time I've found QT to be unwatchable, left-biased rubbish and I can't and won't sit through it.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

Anyone notice that no one disagreed when Terry Smith said that the UK isnt in a double dip recession - the UK never actually got out of the first one.
I personally cant believe how the BBC manage to find such a dumb audience week in week out. 21st century style mob for idiocy - all sheeple except for the odd one or two.0 -

He is one of the few people who speaks real common sense when it comes to the economy and the banking sector.0 -

Maybe his wiki entry is wrong but how can you trust anyone who supports 4 football clubs.

jowell was pretty crummy. i did enjoy when she made her keynote speech about labour's proposals to tax banker's bonuses to raise £2 billion in order to fund a gabillion jobs for young people. she was clearly not expecting the tumbleweed which blew through the studio when she stopped blithering on. perhaps because labour's solution to everything is just to tax bankers' bonuses. bankers must be quite worried because if labour get in power they're going to have to raise about £125 billion from taxing bankers' bonuses, which are only projected to be £2.3 billion this year ("only" being a relative term of course, when comparied to the near £12 billion paid in 2007, or the fact that it's tricky to successfully levy a 50% tax, let alone an 87% tax).
baldrick was just playing the crowd using pantomime villians. i'm sure he enjoyed it but it doesn't really add much to just say "oil companies BOOOO HISSSS" a lot.
the tory was awful, and ashdown was disappointing. i wish people like ashdown would slag the coalition off properly.0 -

She had a very valid point.
For many people benefits are a lifestyle that pays very well and some do not work because it is not worth their while compared to their benefit entitlements.
This is cannot be right or fair on those paying tax.0 -
