Just a heads up, Michael Moore and, err, Richard Littlejohn are lined up for Question Time on BBC1 in 10 minutes time. Could be fun.

hello. ive recorded it and i'm about to watch it now. i was dismayed last week when they read out the panel. all americans - fair enough - but the only british panelist is... richard littlejohn. god help us. it's hardly a true representative of english culture. i don't think they thought this out very well.
but i will probably comment again after. question time is one of my favourite programs.

it just finnished, was very interesting.
Supporters of Bush seemed very arrogant and unaware (or have a distorted view) of what is really going on. I'm a little surprised they fit their stereotype so well. To think there is a lot of support for Bush is a little dissheartening to say the least.

richard littlejohn is a ****, i'm ashamed to be represented by him and what he said to Michael Moore was wrong.
and also i wasn't too impressed with Michael Moore, he seemed too one sided and unable to accept rational opinions opposing his.
The republican representative was a joke, a stupider version of Bush.
The most impressive people there were the woman and the Democrat who used to be adviser for Clinton,

well, a stereotype is somehow a simplified type isn't? so bush supporters are more likely to look like stereotypes than like proper thinking human beeings...

well yes, its how I thought they would act however the rational part of me thought they wouldn't be arrogant, that they would simply have different, well informed opinions, they didn't and i was surprised.

I just saw this... in England question time is civil. I think the panel was very biased towards Kerry, a good thing IMO, less Republican bollocks. The whole thing for me just highlighted how different American and English politics are. The only sensible thing Littlejohn said was about the religious influence in the US; Blair could never in a million years get away with being so religiously opinionated.
