I wonder if GG will be on the panel ?

(I would dearly love to have all shows that feature either GG or Tony Benn, I would even paid for them !)

yeh thats what I was wondering? I would have thought they would approach him soon because if its an iraq special there's no better candidate, he the leader of the anti-war movement and got kicked out of the Labour party over it! I'd like to see him, benn, hitchens, lammy, and maybe rageh omar to balance the conflict!

i know its a dream, but i'd love to see chomsky on it, that would be so so sweet Smile chomsky and blair ( as if he'd ever agree to it )

i bet the panel will be biased towards the pro war lot, its the bbc, can't expect fairness

I heard GG is likely to be on the show Smile

That would be great.

If GG isn't on the show, I would love to know the reasons why.

George is on the panel...

...but the audience is invited not open to the public.

In George's words... "the Bush & Blair Corporation cowardly to the last..."

Fucking right. Question Time has always been a nasty little propaganda show. They say they're being representative by inviting panelists according to how well their political parties do in elections, but that totally distorts everything and pushes one point of view more than another. They can't pull the wool over our eyes. I hope George rips them all to shreds.

Indeed... I understand that David Dimbleby is in the gym limbering up and benching heavy weights as we speak.

Are you sure that GG is on the panel? Really hope so. Have been emailing the bbc over the last week to encourage them to invite him, emphasising that they could not credibly conduct a "special" on this subject without him.

Will be interesting to see who else will be on and who will be the govt lamb sent to the slaughter.

GG said explicitly on the radio show last night that he will be on.
