Question Time State Control vs Slebby victory special

If you can't guess question one tonight, you haven't been paying attention for 3 years. Which you probably haven't as its a real bubble story. 

David Dimbleby presents Question Time from Swansea on the day Lord Justice Leveson's report on press standards is published.[Even Dimby is giving us hints tonight] On the panel are singer and phone hacking campaigner Charlotte ' my friends would never sell a story about me' Church, former News of the World executive editor Neil ' few rotten apples''Wallis, columnist Simon, I'm so like Jon Snow it hurts' Jenkins, transport secretary Patrick ' no one else would come on'McLoughlin MP and shadow immigration minister Chris 'pantomime' Bryant MP.

 Enter your guess for what you believe the regional audience will ask of the panel. Maximum of 5 guesses allowed. Various special rules apply that are hidden even more cunningly than on the whereabouts of an alternative pay meter in a car park..

BQ says 
1. Brian's big day out
2. Part time jobs and falling hours
3. Booze price
4.Cyrill Smith

Doubt we'll have more than 4. Maybe not even that many.

Anyone who watches it should get a point simply for the volume of mind bleach Bryant requires (maybe 3 points if sober - although I doubt anyone would manage that). Good grief.

Why doesn't the BBC set up a newspaper paid for through the licence fee, free of adverts and editorial bias and with a completely transparent and democratically scrutinised management structure?

Simples.

I stagger off a 13 hour flight, and what happens?

Leveson and Ed Davey both have their monstrous abortions on the same day

I am losing the will to live; floods, pestilence and a plague of boils on both of them

(at least in S'Pore everyone knows the press is not free and they quietly navigate the grey areas with finesse and links to the www)

Nick Drew said...

oh. sorry about the floods.

Hopper said...

1. Leveson: isn't it great to have legal sanctions over the press? What could go wrong?
2. Flood insurance: who should pay? ("The Government!" Definitely not the Welsh homeowners.)
3. Davey's green taxes on energy bills hitting the low-earners the worst.
4. Who thought prosecuting a hero soldier for gun possession was a good idea?

1. Brian on the Magic Roundabout. http://www.guardian.co.uk/law/video/2012/nov/29/leveson-inquiry-learn-to-speak-like-robert-jay-video
2. Polonium 210. Seems you need to be dead for anyone to start investigating.
3. He had the gun. The Panel didn’t believe his testimony about not remembering. Misleading the Court is a serious aggravating factor. Yet now he walks free. If he did lie, it paid off.
4. The Welsh question. Well, let’s be honest, not much happens there. Floods.
5. Find me more to do.

Evenin' all

The Palestinian UN vote is a bloody big thing but it ain't gonna be tonight.

1,2 & 3 - various shades of Leveson nexus. BBC's last hoorah for finger pointing and Bryant too? Almost like it was planned - last time I checked he was just some pervy cunt who sat on the back bench. Hmm

4) UKIP eat babies dontcha know? Mmm, cabbagge & vodka flavour!

5) Workfare thang - tbf, how Miliminor didn't walk pmq's on those stats is kinda upsetting.

In no way trying to nobble Mr Quango, we've intercepted the photos of your donkey and he's willing to talk - usual address will be fine.

Nick Drew said...

awright

1) Leveson
2) Leveson
3) Floods and do they mean we need Davey's mad Energy Bill
4) what would the panel pay, minimum, for their booze? (who admits to drinking wine @ £3.60 anyway?)
5) er, that's about it

Steven_L said...

No Thursday night dancing classes til Jan, so can I play? I've been living in ignorance for the last couple of months, but here goes:

1) Leveson / press freedom
2) Leveson / coalition split
3) Floods / money for EU but not for Wales
4) New BofE governor being a foreigner
5) Aren't the new MOT certificates really naf?

Malcolm Tucker said...

1. Leveson the big judgement and Dave reluctant to go down in history as the PM who muzzled the free press.

2. Clegg and Miliband and why they are very happy for Dave to go down in history as the man who muzzled the free press.

3. Floods and who should pay for all the water. What idiot announced a drought during a year that turned out be the wettest summer/autumn for years?

4.Labour's by elections for itself.No one cares.

5. Booze price. Will it work?

Timbo614 said...

OK a quick fling:
LEVESON
err
LEVESON!

Stupid booze pricing

energy bill to add £100 by 2020 hah - tossing coin to what energy bills will be by then.

Budgie said...

Even I reckon I'm too late this evening. Which is a pity because my punch line was going to be "It's all Thackers fault!!!" Although how I could wangle that into Leveson & Leveson (motto: 'trust in us - you have no choice'), I don't know. It will all end in Floods of tears, and I won't even be able to afford a tipple to drown my sorrows.

Bill Quango MP said...

Late late finish..bloody planning meetings. HMG is serous about housebuilding and will be even more draconian than the last government. Don't expect to be able to stop new house building in your area. its coming. Mr Wadsworth will go ape!

anyway.. just got in and QT is still on Q1 - Leveson.

Q2 - Should the political views of foster parents be taken into accont.
Damn! We all forgot that one. Its a very good question. And , it reminds me of my tweet of the week.
"Nadine Dorries is now considering whether she should join UKIP. One problem for her is it would mean having her children taken away."

Q3. Min price for drink What do you think about binge drinking Charlotte?

Q4. Green belt building question..

Bill Quango MP said...

Scores. Double points for anyone who said leveson-leveson. Was anyone THAT interested? As the NOTW guy said, newspapers are declining. By the time legislation gets enacted they may not exist in their current form.

BQ - 4
Hopper - 3
Measured - 2
Dickie the P - 8
Nick Drew - 7
Steven_L - 4 {those white MOT certificates?}
Malcolm Tucker 6
Timbo614 - 7
Budgie {which i'm minded to allow} - 9 {-1 for late}

Budgie and Dick the Prick are winners.
Tonight's prize is to decide which two celebrities sits on the new press regulatory board.

{fingers crossed for Jordan and Iggle Piggle.}

CityUnslicker said...

Iggle Piggle makes sense, not sure Jordan is up to it.

hatfield girl said...

who admits to drinking wine @ £3.60 anyway? (ND)

Raises hand.

Budgie said...

"Budgie {which I'm minded to allow} ...." - exceedingly generous of you BQ.

As a reward, you get to choose whose children are taken away by the socialist workers for one of the following reasons: drinking more than 2 units a week; not paying the BBC tax; pointing out that GMG fiddles its taxes; being aware that 'rent-boy' has a new meaning for Bercow's MPs.

In case you're still wondering, ND, whilst I draw the line at White Lightening (with or without the meths), I normally exist at the 3 for a tenner wine level.

Graeme said...

doesn't tell ND about the very drinkable £5 claret on sale in Asda...much more gluggable than a "£5 on special offer" Chilean merlot/cabernet blend from J Sainsbury that I quaffed today. Asda is looking up, wine-wise but I wonder why, since most people there are shopping for value baked beans and alcopops, based on the aisles I perambulate. What nis this retail thing...what does it mean?
