    Should be interesting to see what Mick Hucknall has to say after this;http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/mick-hucknall-settles-with-neighbour-over-hunting-rights-30121469.html

    Why is his right to kill animals for personal pleasure so dear to him?

    Why Mick Hucknall and not one of Brightons' many Greens?:confused:

    No Lib Dem either - strange as I'dve thought the Cleggy Vs Farage fight dissection would be on the cards.

    I think they should move to a six person panel, that way we can one Labour person, one Tory person, one Lib Dem person, one UKIP person, and two others.

    What's the ratio of episodes from Scotland versus England then?

    UKIP's Roger Helmer is legendary, worth watching just for him (and his moustache!). I don't think he has been on it before either.

    Very suprised to see no Lib Dem on the panel tonight after last night also surprised not to see a member of the Greens on.

    Why Mick Hucknall, he doesn't even make relevant music. here's hoping he will only answer questions using his lyrics.

    It seems that there are two Labour (Abbot and Hucknell) , two Conservatives (Greening and Wolfson), and one UKIP.

    That doesn't make much sense in a Green Party stronghold and without a LIbdem after last night's debate.

    You have to wonder sometimes whether these unrepresentative combinations are deliberate or whether they are forced upon the BBC through circumstance.

    Abbott has been popping up everywhere all week.

    Presumably she wont be on This Week tonight.

    Expect from Abbott the usual arm waving/finger circling for emphasis and eyes raised heavenward for inspiration.

    She voted against the Budget change to cap the welfare bill and got another grilling by Neil today. She had just been to Benn's funeral.

    Mick Hucknall is the walking dead; I hope they've got a make up artist on hand to cover up his undead visage!

    For the first time in years, it may be worth watching.

    Yes he was harsh, but she didnt answer the question...think it was about Russia, (though that could be wrong) she just faffs around questions, making hand gestures, without giving an answer. She said something like she had nothing to say or had no opinion on what Andrew Neil was asking her... hello isnt that what shes on that show for - answering questions and having a point of view?

    he did say something along the lines of "what do you mean you don't have an opinion? we pay you to have one" :D

    I thought it was great last week. I usually dispair when she appears back on This Week but it was worth it for that :D


    Unfortunately she'll be back to her old ways on QT tonight.

    I agree. Think I'll give it a pass.

    Abbott is more than happy to turn up, finger-circle, pick up her fee and leave.

    Are the BBC paying Dianne Abbott a retainer to be available to fill in when other politicians don't want to know?

    She seems to be a perennial regular who puts the 'Judy' in the BBC's Punch and Judy political shows.

    I see she was on the Daily Politics today with Mr Punch (aka Andrew Neil).

    Should be good tonight, David Starkey is on Andrew Neil`s programme later. He is always entertaining.
