Mad Mel on Richard & Judy

[nekokate]

I've just finished watching Melanie Phillips (author of Londonistan) being interviewed on Richard & Judy. What a demented, racist bitch. I don't think there was a sentence she spoke that didn't leave me with my mouth gaping open. Apparently British Foreign Policy has "nothing to do with" recent terrorism, it's just Islamic fanaticism and a desire by Muslims to take over the country. Apparently there are too many Muslims in the UK, and immigration should be tightened as a direct result of the events over the weekend. Apparently the Muslim community should "cooperate more", too.

And the other guest they had on the same subject was pretty much on her side. R & J just sat and nodded with stern looks of concern and agreement on their faces throughout. Talk about bias.

Now I know why George calls her "Mad Mel". What a disgrace.

she was on question time a little while back, nasty piece of work

you haven't found a job yet have you ... watching richard and judy is a bad bad sign

[harry perkins]

I went off Richard when he brought on Kilroy and treated him in a way that would make Galloway look insulting to Karl in Plaistow by comparison!

[faceless]

I had it on in the background but having heard Madeley make some assertions that had no truth in them about who and what happened, I just ignored it.

i don't watch it, but this is from another forum i use

yeh i did watch that exact show by chance actually! i felt so surreal, like i was in north korea or something, both guests and both hosts nodding away talking about blair as if he was our great, omniscient and pious leader. made me feel quite annoyed until i realised how sad it was

[luke]

mad mel is back on question time tonight ... they keep getting these right wing nutcases on, vary rarely do they have anyone to really represent the left

[Salim201]

you can't be serious! the question time panel is becoming more of a joke than the last series. I think someone must have demanded to have an even narrower spectrum of views on that show. A few weeks back the whole panel agreed that Zimbabwe was a problem for Britain, and that if it wasn't for Iraq we could go in there and sort it out. Presumably we're back in the 19th century. But of course establishment corporate journalists don't represent the people, politicians certainly don't and this mainstream consensus is boring the hell out of the majority of people.

I wanna see an anarchist, I wanna see Robert Fisk, Pilger maybe, Chomsky, Tariq Ali, not one of these has ever been on the show!!

Tariq Ali would be astounding on Question Time!! I'd love to see that.
