Nicola Sturgeon

I wonder how often someone will say the Tories are just trying to ruin Scotland.

[eharding]

"This Week" could be a laugh though.

Glasgow. another Tory stronghold.

Looks a bit like a B Team line up tonight, still maybe something interesting or amusing?

I quite like Simon Schama on his history stuff but he's a right old socialist isn't he?

[pilchardthecat]

don't do it.

Strewth! £10 per week - they will have to cancel their Sky subscriptions.

Best leave this one to a Scottish audience.

I'm going to unwind by watching Ed China restoring and old BMW 840 on Discovery Shed.

Any moment now.

Yes, but top marks to whoever gave him a couple of pints of Red Bull before the show.

Typical historian, great at speaking and prolly goes over the heads of most in audience

[XTR2Turbo]

looks like this is about to get interesting ... misplaced attack the banker comment.

Was question time ever broadcast from a Gdansk shipyard or in the former soviet union? Perhaps next week it could be in North Korea but the BBC could ship in an audience of british communists just to make sure it was impartial.

I think he's definitely had a couple of sherbets before the show.

How Odd.

Hedgie makes truthful sense ?

Watch politicians now?

He does!!
Wish the Labour st would shut up.

edit
is there an ice cream van going by?

most amusing to see hedge fund man scratch his head at barmy historian

the rest of the panel just look at him smiling not knowing if he is saying something they like or not

Quality.
The one that makes sense is the minted Hedgie !

Glasgow clapped him too !


(oh likey ^^^^)

I expect they are too thick to know what a hedge fund manager is - they probably think he is a gardener that trims hedges - plus he is Scottish so he isn't one of those nasty Englanders.....

[Laurel Green]

Could do with a few more Hedgies on QT.

[Lost_BMW]

Ooh, I know the answer to this one!

Avoid terrorism at all costs. "A torture in time saves nine . ."
