  I thought Cameron's response was out of order. Galloway made a very good point, but the man is a proven liar and has done his own shmoozing of brutal dictators.

  who knows, but with cameron trying to not answer the question it might be that he has something to hid

  Whilst he does come across as a bit of a nutcase and not everyone's cup of tea, he does stick up for what he believes in even if it is bang out of order for most, and I respect him a lot for this.
  
  If we had more MPs like this across all parties, then parliament would be a lot more effective, rather than just a bunch of yes-men all toadying up to one another.

  Pretty sure last week on QT that they said he was on either this week or the next.
  He may be a tit but it's entertaining

  I thought that too. Very pervy. Also the robotic bit with him and Pete Burns.

  can anyone answer the question george asked as david cameron wouldn't answer

  
  I never saw him as a lunatic, I saw an articulate educated man with a great sense of justice and a strong set of morals.

  I think he was on QT quite recently, he was on Any Questions the other week and was good. Can't remember what he was saying now but it seemed quite sensible at the time compared to the others.
  I quite like him

  I thought that he was great on Any Questions and although he sometimes comes across as a bit too confrontational when a softer approach might get a better response, he does often talk sense. Several of the panel admitted to agreeing with him on a couple of points.
  
  He is right about the al-Qaeda arms issue. We spend billions fighting them in Afghanistan and Mali whilst funding them - as rebel fighters - in Syria. It is a repeat of the situation in Afghanistan a few decades ago when we supported and armed the Mujahideen (who became the Taliban) when they were fighting the USSR. Then the tables turned and we ended up at war with those who we had armed in the first place....
