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.
