Live with Eric Pickles

Another cracking session, Iain. Informative, well-moderated & friendly. Make it a weekly event with a good 'guest' and your traffic will go stratospheric - you'll have the MSM quaking in their boots & struggling to catch up.
I initially had doubts whether this format would be very productive, but thanks to a modicum of structure & balanced moderation, they are being swiftly dispelled. Good work.

Cheers Iain,

A resounding success. You could be on to something with this.

It worked very well indeed this time. More focused than earlier sessions. An interview with one man seems to be the way to go.

Looking to the future: attempted invasion by trolls with lists of pretyped questions ready to paste in? Easy enough to moderate out repeated boilerplate from the same name, but they can change their name easily.

And, eventually copycats on the left? Their controlling instinct would never allow the thing to be genuinely live and spontaneous, so these would probably be faked by henchmen submitting lists of prerranged questions to be given prearranged answers. If so, the fakes would probably wither spontaneously.

Does the technology run to a facility to print out a typescript?
