Such is the power of television. To be constantly told that to oppose uncontrolled immigration is racist is a very poisonous form of propaganda. If there really was any will on the BBC’s part to do anything about this they would have done so a long time ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-50136361476769884962015-09-26T02:25:04.778+01:002015-09-26T02:25:04.778+01:00I hope I have time to watch this tomorrow.

I'd say it looks like the most right-slanted panel in living memory, but Clarke is establishment Tory, and Varoufakis by himself outweighs him, Evans, and Julia H-B. <br /><br />Varoufakis is easily one of my favorite politicians or political figures in the last couple years. Apparently he nailed Osborne's political economic schemes as "faux austerity", which is absolutely true. Of course, being the madman that he is, he also said that what little austerity there was killed the economic recovery (sounds like Michael Portillo, but never mind). He is brilliant in his ability to run rings around everyone else, to baffle the professional pundits and opinion-mongers, and be both 100% right and 100% wrong at the same time.David Preisernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-20542941534465193372015-09-25T23:49:59.457+01:002015-09-25T23:49:59.457+01:00Actually it was more like "approaching balanc...Actually it was more like "approaching balance" hell. <br /><br />I think QT might have been reforming their audience selection procedure because there were definitely some UKIP supporters in there. And as for the panel itself, well it probably fairly reflected UK opinion with the possible exception of the racist right. There were two panellists prepared to spell out the damage caused by mass immigration. <br /><br />Probably if you took away Dimbleby's left-liberal interventionism you would be getting towards something close to a reasonable programme. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
