    Leaked memo on QT sent to Diane Abbott: http://www.scribd.com/fullscreen/91390479


    made me laugh at the Presentation bit.........

    and you wonder why people are cynical over politics?


    I suggest people play Question Time Bingo and tick off the subjects listed in memo that come up on the show tonight.

    Farage and Toynbee on the same edition of Question Time? Surely, that would tear a hole through the very fabric of space and time?

    If only UKIP scientists could develop cloning, with an army of Farage's, they could dominate politics. Sadly UKIP has few high profile, talented politicians in its ranks. The deputy from Liverpool is quite good though.

    The last election really showed up the lack of depth in UKIP's ranks. While Farage stood down to concentrate on getting elected (he really should have picked a different constituency), his replacement Lord whats-his-name was an embarrassment.

    They should have put on Abbots briefing notes "when answering a question don't tilt your head back and roll your eyes to the ceiling before speaking as it can appear you are about to communicate with the other side".
