Having watched John Sargeant last night I can only put his lack of dancing skills his lack of reporting skills and his obvious love of the most shatteringly incompetant government in history down to a genial mental defficiency.

It wasn't as good without Nick Griffin standing up for the indigenous British people. I think he should be on every week.

The audience reflected the pro rata population ratio . Last week it was clearly rigged in favour of every other race against Griffin.

Dimbleby gave out the same rubbish that no one knows the questions and the camera panned the desk and there were all the panels prepared notes. Idiot.

I am surprised that Sargeant was not impartial but he might get a gong when Nulablour are kicked out.

Have we not got anyone better than Smiff and Gillan?

Hopeless Optic.

Elfyn saved the night I think

There was a striking contrast in Jacqui Smith's answers to two seemingly unrelated questions. When questioned about her rejection of advice when she reclassified cannabis she observed that "advisers advise and ministers decide". This understandable position was mightily at odds with her defence to criticism of her expenses when she pointed out that "she had sought and taken advice." What had become of the ministerial responsibility?

I didn't realise it was Jacqui Smith for a while. Has she adopted a disguise?

"I have to laugh. Last week we had an audience that was 98% ethnic when the BNP was on, this week 100% was white."

Oh come on dont be ridiculous... The BNP episode was filmed in central London and last nights show was in Llandudno!

A question to Ms Smith should have related to her bringing in a tribunal to settle police pay and she said she'd abide by its decision,then when the tribunal said police should receive a back dated pay rise went back on her word & wondered why the police were annoyed at her u turn,still what can you expect from a politician in this government?

Are John Sergeant and Jo Brand one and the same? Not only do they sound alike they obviously also share the same rabid anti-Tory views (as evidenced by John-Jo's performance last night).

John Sargeant - he never got over Margaret Thatcher flicking him away like a lost schoolboy.His performance on the programme was ridiculously sycophantic towards Blair - I didn't realise how anti-Tory he was - he must match Ted Heath in the longest sulk ever !

Someone said that skunk is grown using chemicals. This is not the case. Skunk is stronger because of the fact that it's a hybrid of indica/sativa grown using UV lights. As for Smith, why get advice from specialists just to disrguard. She mentioned the specialist said ecstacy is less dangerous than horse riding. This is a FACT, not an opinion. MDMA itself is relativly safe on its own, but you don't know whats in a street pill. If legalised there would be no danger of taking another subsbstance.

Has anyone ever had a direct answer when questioning a politician because no matter what they are asked they skirt around the question and talk absolute rubbish---Jackie Smith a typical politician why doesn't she do the decent thing and pay back the money she took and I mean all of it and we will be out of the recession if they all do that never again will I ever believe anything said by any of this bunch if we could only turf them out today it would be the best thing for this country

If my memory serves me correctly, Lembit Opik with regard to the Mp's expenses scandal, said "let him that is without ----- cast the first stone". Its a pity he misquoted that statement from the Lord Jesus Christ in John's Gospel Ch 8 v 7 in the Bible. What the Lord did say was "He that is without SIN among you,let him first cast a stone at her". Forgiveness for SIN demands Repentance first and like Zacchaeus in Luke's Gospel Ch 19 v 1--9 Members of Parliament should pay back these claims.

Whoever said the audience was 100% White this week was obviously not watching properly. I was there with my wife and she is EuroAfrican. (She made great comment about cannabis). There were others who weren't white too. Good debate though. Well done BBC!

Was tonight's QT from Wales just too parochial or did questions about the Nimrod 14 dying as a result of Gordon Brown's policies as Chancellor get buried by the Editorial staff???
