    Shame Starkey or Hitchens aren't on as well.

    .....or Galloway :o That would make a terrific panel.

    Possibly because of the Eddie Izzard documentary in 2003

    Yes, we got really swamped by waves of Saxe-Coburgs:confused:

    The female economist spoke very well about about the fragmentation of the population but didn't get a single clap.

    Unless you pander to the bused in bbc audience with sound bites and cliches you rarely get applause.

    I am desperately worried abnout it.

    I do not want my grandchildren growing up in a foreign land.

    We are losing our own country from within.

    My feelings exactly. I am extremely worried about the islamification of this country which I think will happen in the next hundred years. Im glad I wont be here to see it happen but I do fear for my grandchildren and their children. We are sleepwalking into it.

    Well I had the feeling that's what the member in the audience wanted to say. However with the rest of the audie nice shooting him daggers. He didn't really put any coherent point across.

    Sajid Javid (Conservative Culture Secretary)....For some reason he got a very quick promotion.
    Yvette Cooper (Labour Shadow Home Secretary)...Smug Liar
    Shirley Williams (Lib Dem Lord)...Wrong about Gordon Brown
    Omid Djalili (Stand UP Comic)....Sometimes amusing
    Jill Kirby (Former Director Of The Centre For Policy Studies)...Sometimes correct.

    Shirley looks confused.
    Poor old Shirley is really a socialist stuck in the Lib Dems.

    Cooper "we've always been a diverse nation" - what utter bollocks.
    Standard Labour script.
    I hate Labour but Brown had nothing to do with a global recession
    It occurred on his watch and he didn't see it coming. He promised us no more boom and bust.
    Cooper trying to fan the flames of hate towards the banks again. You think she can get a stab at the Energy Companies in the next 15 mins
    If the Banks are so evil, why did Labour pay a fortune to save them ?

    Lastly.....Why was James Corden in the audience and worried about getting work ?

    She was rubbish and I loath her simpering looks.

    I keep imagining what has been in her mouth. :o

    What a horrible image. Either way it's Balls we are talking about.

    Sad that the Labour party has Ed Miliband, Caroline Flint, Rosie Winterton (Chief Whip) as Doncaster MP's and they go and choose Yvette Cooper or is it QT policy not to have a MP from the place it's filmed for bias purposes?

    Britain becoming an Islamic nation seems pretty unlikely, but just supposing you're right: what do you think should be done to stop it?

    Tonight's edition of the topical debate show comes from Doncaster. Joining Dimbers on the panels tonight...

    Yvette Cooper (Labour Shadow Home Secretary)

    The choreographed look of deep sympathy and the mandatory shaking of head whenever anyone blames the last Labour government for contributing to our economic woes. The obligatory mention of tax cuts for the better off. So tiresome.:(

    Is it right he's on with Nigel Farage? If so it'd be better to have just the 2 of them, as I can see it turning into farce.
    Then Farage can expose Brand for the clueless buffoon he is.
    Yeah right. That will be like the pot calling the kettle black.

    Nigel Farage may be many things but he is not a buffoon.

    Richard Brand is simply mad though - he thinks he is beigger than Jesus.

    I've noticed that the Labour panelists seemed to have been sticking to a script.

    Things will be fairer under Labour (No explanation) and if you don't agree with Labour Policy then your out of touch with the people. Best so far Burnham calling Mylene Klass out of touch

    Having watched The Fall earlier in the evening what struck me was her use of the same mirroring techniques employed by the killer

    That is a matter of opinion. Has for Brand being mad. Brand has had issues with mental issues. So what? I don't agree with everything Brand sais but on some issues he is right. He is also alot more intelligent than some like to make out.

    Brand is a horrible man. He reminds me much of James O'Brien. Educated and wealthy. Safe from any impending crises. Articulate, relatively. Able to "defeat" the inarticulate UKIPper Jack in Welwyn (O'Brien), happy to use the lady from the estate outside No. 10, "Blimey, at least 'e's standin' up for us workin' class, in 'e?' (Brand). Happy to lie that he knows nothing nothing about Limited Companies whilst accusing Farage of some tax malfeasance (O'Brien) whilst at the same time him and his wife are Directors of a Limited Company, pay themselves dividends to avoid Income Tax, and claim Sky Sports on expenses just like every corrupt MP they chastise for doing the same. Or pay £60,000+ pa in rent to a landlord with an offshore account (Brand) and proclaim how they live in the East End, innit bruv, and know wot it's like, like.

    Sometimes the real public school boy (ooh, those frisky monks!) O'Brien is accidentally revealed. Like the Black woman caller talking about her children taking a term time holiday in the Caribbean who kept saying "we was doing educational things", "we was learning about the family traditions": each time she said "was" the racist O'Brien quietly - so she couldn't hear, because he does not want to have a row with an Angry Black Woman, trust me - kept correcting here with "were". What a horrible, hypocritical little man.

    Your descriptions are more in line to describe Nigel Farage than Russell Brand.

    Just seeing how some of the audience pathetically booed when Nigel was mentioned makes me dread the up coming episode. It's going to be a farce. No doubt Everyone Vs Nigel for 40 mins of the program which will probably give UKIP sympathy instead of driving them down like the media is so desperate for.

    Russell Brand will not doubt brush off the controversy and play it for laugh from everyone.

    By using pointless long words that only people with a degree in English Language will understand.

    Hopefully he will come across like the Dipstick that he is

    I must admit I had a little giggle when that economist ripped Brown to shreds.

    That's what you want to see on QT, not politicians sticking to the script and not wanting to be shown in a bad light.
