Matt Allwright of Watchdog/Rogue Traders fame is filling in for Wrighty until the weekend. Apparently he's hosted TWS before but it must've been before I started watching (June 2008).
'Nuff said.

Do you have a picture for her? I wouldn't know her if I fell over her.

Quite good today but will someone tell Lowri that screeching 'no, hang on' or 'Listen, listen' does not constitute having a valid point.

Her name is Erika Lockett. I googled that much but didn't want to click onto any images in case I ended up on a dodgy website She was the American woman in the audience last week who was prattling on about her 40 year old boyfriend cheating on her with a 19 year old.

it's a good point, but the percentage of people who went to private schools and then went to the top universities and then go into top career paths is a much higher percentage than those who went to a state school. They reel out that stat all the time on TWS but can't remember it currently!

There is also a 2nd tier of universities for those posh kids who are too thick for Oxbridge. Exeter is one of those and there is others. The percentage of private school kids who don't go to any sort of university is low.

Wright takes almost uncontrollable pleasure in deriding the Tory lead government and often points to ill-conceived laughable policy or thinking, being extremist and controlling.

Whilst his name is on the tin, he may be the opposite politically, however, he is equally extreme and determined that all must conform to his ideal of society.

It's been creeping, but is becoming ridiculous, leading to pointless debate and by week out, guests feeling a lack of desire to try and maintain or purport views contrary to where he wants things to go.

He often seeks discussions on small snippets of news or articles and prefers to go beyond reason to the furthest possibilty to get his way and to criticise and doesn't shirk from targeting the callers, but less brave with anything contrary from the friendly familiar hand picked sheep like audience.

Sometimes he appears almost manic and raged, but to balance he can be quick witted and pleasantly comedic, but perhaps 12 years is now taking it's toll.

I liked today's guest! Prof David Wilson offered good points and alternative views on things. Plus he put Lowri in her place

She doesn't seem to have learnt anything from Joan Collins on the show. Her question to him was why there is a sort of crime porn with women being attacked by serial killers constantly! her offend your guest with your first question technique goes on

Lowri is always good to have on the panel. David Wilson was very good and Adam Hart Davis should be very interesting. I've no idea who Craig Kelly is and don't know much about Marco Pierre White either.

Dominic Holland - a truly unfunny man - could be seen, on TWS 10th anniversary special, scowling and shaking his head as Steve Furst said how many genuinely funny women he followed on Twitter. Holland thinks women cannot be funny, homoseuals cannot be normal [check out how quickly he forces his children into the conversation, any Monday TWS he appears on] and all criminals are black people who should be deported, to the 1st African country he can think of [his 'send them to Liberia' remark during the discussion on tagging offenders].

I though Lowrie put the PC man in his place - when he was crying over criminals. Lowrie would have been the same as him before her two muggings.

She also blew Matts Urban Revolutioary cover - revealing he actually lives in Primrose Hill.

Yeah he's pretty objectionable. My least favourite panelist along with Yasmin Alibiba-Brown.

Isn't it called balance ?

You don't want the three panellists expressing the same political viewpoint do you ?

She's not a favourite of mine, particularly when slagging off men in general, but was speaking more sense than the Professor, who even Wright reigned in on occasions from his ultra left outlook.

On property things, she must be improving financially as she is looking at £450k homes to buy, despite being a single mum of 3?

I think she was just commenting on how expensive property is and used an ex council house costing 450k as an example. God, can't believe I'm defending Lowri Gurner!

What did he ACTUALLY say?

He's not in favour of mass uncontrolled immigration - like the vast majority of the population aren't?

Ah, just googled her and up came a link for her on Xhamster (do not visit that site from work!)

That said, another video said "Erika Lockett vs BBC", and I was pleased that she, too, likes to submit complaints to them.... or I *think* that's what it was about.

There's balance, and then there is saying that 'civil partnerships a nonsense', in response to a man dying who happened to be gay. I don't think I'm wrong to suggest that Holland is a deeply unpleasant man.
