Last night’s Question time was exceptionaly good. The Panel included both the broadcaster Richard Madeley and the historian Andrew Roberts.
Though, Caroline Spelman’s performance was unfortunately disappointing. What was she doing? She went on QT without being properly prepared to defend policy and without sound, studied, rehearsed arguments to undermine the predictable attacks on Conservative policy? It's not like this is new policy - why does she not seem to know how to sell it?
At least Andrew Roberts was there to present the case. The Conservative Party really cannot be putting Shadow Cabinet people up without them being properly prepared.
In fact Andrew spoke complete commonsense throughout the hour long program. The Burka debate was rather interesting but not surprising. I am one of the very few Tory bloggers, who have spoken out about the need to Ban the Burka.
Many Conservative MP’s, Candidates and activists agree with Muslims such as Saira Khan. It’s just a shame that they don’t wish to be counted. I suppose they are worried people will start putting a label on them.

Could not agree more YoungTory.
Idiotic post. I hope to god people like you never get any more power than a vote.
Oliver, I'm appalled. There is nothing conservative or Conservative about banning the burqa.
I can't see any reasoning here for your desire to ban it, it seems instead that you've just decided to jump on the Farage-istic islamophobic bandwagon.
Thanks for the comments.
'There is nothing conservative or Conservative about banning the burqa' Did i say it was Adam?
'you've just decided to jump on the Farage-istic islamophobic bandwagon' Adam you know that is not the case. I declared my support for the ban on the 4th July 2009. I accept that my view on the burka is a controversial one. Please do remember that many British Muslims support me on this very issue.

Burkhas are perfect masks for terrorists, this has nothing to do with anti-islamophobia. It is about protecting our country and its citizens.
So are motorcycle helmets.
Yes and most places like shops insist that motorcycle helmets be removed before entering. And don't get clever, because I have never seen someone sat on a bus, train or aeroplane with a motorcycle helmet on their head!
