    The first two suffer from verbal diarrhoea. I don't know about the next two. At least Simon Jenkins is usually sparing with his opinions, coming to the point instead of waffling.

    I pity Suzanne. The audience will no doubt be stuffed full of Amy Rutlands saying how disgusting and racist UKIP and all their supporters are with no opposing views.

    When I read that a member of UKIP was on the panel, I got the feeling that it would be a attack UKIP show. Funny this is happening just before the European Election

    UKIP are on again - well that's a suprise. Why don't the leftist BBC invite the Greens on as much.

    I mean, they've got MEP's, councillors AND an actual MP.

    Farron will probably have that same, inane goofy grin on his face that he had in the Kay Burley interview a few weeks ago after the second Clegg/Farage debate, and he came out with that cheesey 'More Nigel Mirage than Nigel Farage' line.

    The whole lot of them will be rounding on her.


    Let's hope she stands firm.

    First question:

    Who is making the greatest effort to undermine or humiliate David Cameron?
    Is it:
    Patrick Mercer....
    Nigel Farage....
    or......The Speaker of the House Of Commons..........?

    No, I'm sure it'll be 'is it euracist to vote for UKIP?'

    And watch it descend into yet another bear baiting session.

    What is it with the BBC and Ukip???

    Have Ukip promised to keep the Licence fee until 2050 if they ever get into power?

    Everyday on DP it's Ukip this, Ukip that, the BBC are obsessed with flaming Ukip!

    Ok (hands up) I know I must be feeling threatened!

    No doubt tonight the "hand picked Left Wing QT audience" will feel theatened when they say what they think of Ukip!

    worst thing is, he'll probably be the next leader of the Lib Dems after Clegg is forced to stand down

    We could but it would be interesting if the bookies were offering odds on that scenario. It would probably be odds on and I still might have a bet.

    I see the usual numpties have already played the BBC bias card.

    If the European polls are correct 38% of the audience should be sympathetic to her views.

    Let's see what happens.

    Yet, 30,896 (60% of the voters) people in Westmorland and Lonsdale in 2010 felt he would be a good MP for them.

    The Greens have two MEPs against UKIP's nine, and just 0.2% of seats in the House of Commons.

    UKIP also has three peers in the House of Lords, while the Greens only have one.

    Perhaps he's a good constituency MP. He must be good at something to get that support.

    I know he's good at talking, but you can't help wondering afterwards what it was he actually said.

    If UKIP are to be taken seriously at the GE (and if they start to approach 20% how can we not?) then the gloves have to come off - right now.

    Whatever topics come up tonight during answers to questions.......

    Dimbleby: "What is the UKIP policy on that?"

    Ukip: Er......I don't know.

    Dimbleby: "Ok..... What was the UKIP policy on that at the last General Election?"

    Ukip: Er.......I don't know.

    Dimbleby: "OK. How about we stop filming for a few minutes so that you can leave the studio...."
