BBC Question Time

I thought BBC's question time would have been quite fiery, due to the appearance of the new MP for Bradford West, George Galloway. However, it was a low key George that we saw.
Question 1 was to do with the Home Office farce that is the continuing saga of the proposed deportation to Jordan of Abu Qatada. The home secretary, Theresa May appears not to know the rules regarding the timetable of appeal. The EU court of human rights says the appeal can go ahead and May says that the appeal was 24 hours late. She was wrong and the appeal can go ahead. Galloway said that the UK government must abide by the rule of law contrary to the extradition treaty that exists between the UK and the USA which allows the USA the luxury of not having to provide one shred of evidence as to the guilt of anyone they deem guilty of a crime against the USA. Tory peer, Baroness Warsi as expected absolved Theresa May of any blame and said that it was the EU court's fault. When asked if May should resign, she said no. The rest of the panel said she should consider her position, but the Lib Dem representative said "I haven't a clue," which should probably be his party's slogan for future elections.
Question 2 was about Galloway's victory in the recent Bradford West by-election. The three main party panelists played it down stating that it was a protest vote. Galloway answered back saying it was a massive cry for change. His version of the change wanted by the voters was completely different to the change proposed by the rest of the panel. The people want real change in politics which would include the way that political parties are funded. The message is to keep money out of politics and to make MP's more accountable to the people who vote for them. George Galloway fielded a few awkward comments from the audience quite well and put forward his plans very well.
The budget was next on the agenda and you could see the Tory and Lib Dem panelist squirming quite a lot. It came down to the abolition of the 50p rate of tax giving the rich in this country a cut of around £45,000 per year, while cutting benefits to the poorest section of our society. Also the tax on static caravans, which is a precursor to a tax on all property. The government panelists didn't have a leg to stand on when George Galloway mentioned that the chancellor, George Osbourne, didn't even realise that his earnings fell into the top bracket for tax. he in fact gave himself a huge tax break, while hammering the poorest in our society. The Tory panelist Warsi showed her true colours by mentioning her globalist agenda, and her Lib Dem colleague mentioned his green agenda.
The last question was about the Bahrain Grand Prix, due to be staged on Sunday. All members of the panel agreed that it should not take place. George Galloway went on to mention the imminent visit to Windsor Castle by the King of Bahrain whose government have been allegedly guilty of considerable human rights offences. Personally, I think it is a disgrace to even allow this man into the country at all. David Cameron is apparently the one who has allowed him in, but I firmly believe that the Queen has far more power than we think she has and has personally invited him in.
All in all, not the programme I had hoped for, but interesting all the same.
One other thin related to the Bahrain story. I watched Sky News this morning and the reporter on the ground in Bahrain, stated that the incident that saw the Indian Team car petrol bombed on their war back to their hotel was an "isolated" incident. What would he have said if the people in the car had been killed? Could his playing down of what could have been a disastrous incident have been that Sky Sports have exclusive rights to cover the Grand Prix and if it was cancelled it would hurt his employers in their bank account? As usual, a disgraceful piece of reporting by Sky.
