    The Greek finance minister was due on tonight.

    I guess more important things have aroused though...

    Sad thing is, that you could probably get a decent grown up debate and discussion out of that lot if you sat them down away from the cameras and audience. Instead were going to get 45 minutes of edited play acting as per...

    Topics... EU/Greece, migrants, maybe Pope and climate change seeing as the priest is on.

    Yeah I just suspect divisive leaders may pop up with Suzanne there

    How about should St. Paul's be taken over and occupied by benefit seeking migrants?

    Or should the police be hassled for wearing HTH wristbands?

    Certainly especially with a member of UKIP there.

    Certainly will get some Cliches in such as 'I'm the child of an immigrant' and 'Immigrants bring 7 Billion pounds to the economy'

    Oh if they have the time they'll give it the whole immigrant love in spiel, but they'll be to busy digging out Susanne Evans over here sacking/unsacking IMO, poor girl is in for a bit of a kicking, but good luck to her for having the balls to face the music.

    I agree, that was my first thought as soon as I read the line up tonight. Very brave woman. The BBC undercurrent will be distinctly negative on Her from the very start.

    Fraser Nelson again.

    Is it wrong to fancy him a tiny bit? Same with Tristram Hunt and Zac Goldsmith :blush:
    Perhaps it's the posh boy vibe; they're probably absolute filth in the bedroom.

    So, bets on the opening 20 minute question subject tonight.

    Anything that can be used as anti UKIP?
    A grexit perhaps?
    Maybe the Calais situation but that means touching on the immigration subject which could go negative.
    The london mayoral race for candidature?

    Any other offers?

    Oh sorry. I should also have mentioned the planned public spending cuts. An obvious one really for a QT audience.

    I imagine that was the last time she will be seen on QT as her performance was shocking.

    Burnham has no gravitas.

    Quit moaning, and describe an alternative.

    Maybe a question on wind farms or fracking?

    Good for Evans to pull up Tory woman about being transparent in their manifesto and are the cuts not meant to go towards getting the deficit down but she is blethering on about investing in skills and apprentices.
