On the Media Today
11am Radio 4, TALKING POLITICS with Peter Hitchens, Joan Smith & Simon Heffer 11pm Radio 5 Live discussing sentencing policy 11.45pm BBC News 24 newspaper review
I caught the R4 prog @ 11am and found it both worrying and intensely annoying. I found Peter Hitchens perfectly reasonable and understood everything he said - what does that say about me?? I may need counselling.
I'd never heard you before though Iain, just read your blog, and will be pleased to tune in next time you announce a broadcast.
It was an interesting debate, but Iain you need to change your heading from right to left of centre. Your total support for DC was a little toe curling. 'A good house needs a strong foundation' is what DC needs to be reminded of.
Punters can listen again here if they ignore the bizarre dateline (7 October) and click "Listen again to the latest programme". The discussion is 8 mins in.

Best political discussion I've heard for a while, and very unusual that the BBC had 3 right wingers with just one lefty.
ReplyDeleteConsensus seemed to be that 2 or 3 party politics is now in decline. UKIP, BNP and Greens likely to become stronger.
Iain -
