Considering the number of viewers who post comments in the wrong place on this web page section, I can't be the only person who thinks the Question Time web page is really quite appallong bad, as web pages go. The Question Time web page really does NOT give any credit to the Question Time television program. I think the web page is confusing, fussy, filled with non relevant BBC news items or articles . I want to look at Question Time relevant items on a soley Question Time Web Page. Thank you.

TEWIN. Please count how many times your panellists use the word "fantastic". You will be amazed how often it is used.It is extremely irritating to any one who regards themselves as educated . The use of the word should be discouraged by the Chairman.

I see there has been no apology forthcoming from Lord Falconer, after his inaccurate and derogatory comments about the Czech ODS last week. I found his accusation that they were racist deeply offensive

Why are these lightweight minority people from Plaid Cymri and SNP included in the show, particularly at "English" venues. They invariably have no valid opinion, no power and usually no interest in the interests of anyone but their home country, except for the money Parliament funds it with. Tonight we even have one who is not a "Royalist" and therefore not true to the UK. Go back across the Avon and don't come back.

Can someone please why Kelvin MacKenzie is being paid by the BBC to be a member of your panel. The man's views on the Hillborough Tragedy are akin to Bishop Richard Williamson's views on the holocaust. Not perhaps the best use of our licence fees (today of all days.) Shame on you BBC,shame on you.

What the hell is a welsh assembly member doing on the panel in Newquay. Is Newquay now in Wales? She should not be on unless the shows in Wales, but her typical limp wristed views along with the lib/dem and labour panelist suit the bbc's politicaly correct bias. There is no excuse now not to invite nick griffin on.

Why are we scared to death of upsetting the muslim population but quite happy to impose oppressive rules on cristians (crosses taken down off churches and nativity play bans) there is no debate on that it just happened.

What about British troops in muslim countries consuming alcohol and living in seperate areas with beaches i.e saudia arabia and women not dressed modestly? Should they not follow the 'muslim countries rules'?

To stop the second homes allowance being abused a purpose built block of flats should be built for MP's to be housed while in London. They only need the basics, that is all the majority of their constituents have.

Why don't the government build a new prison purely to house VIP or Public Service Personnel inmates such as bent police officers, M.P.'s and Tv

It's a little rich for Julia Goldsworthy to sit there and lecture us that she's "trying to do the right thing" over expenses. Someone who spends £1200 on a rocking chair at a fashionable London store is clearly living in a different world to the average man of woman. To then claim half the cost on expenses is absolutely outrageous. Julia Goldsworthy made a conscious decision to fleece the taxpayer, and the only "right thing" to do is quit. We need useful MPs, not clueless fashion victims.

The fact that MPs can afford to pay back their expense claims in cash demonstrates that they have enough money already and therefore no need to claim anything. Some people can't even afford to pay for their mortgages and basic goods. Most MPs have extra jobs and income on top of their current salaries. They are just greedy individuals milking the system and taking advantage of their positions thats what makes people angry. MPs should rely on their salaries and only claim for basic things.

The Burka hides the persons identity, I have now problem with it in normal circumstances, but in Banks etc, if i was to cover my head leaving only my eyes exposed i would probably be arrested.
