I know many, perhaps most, readers will have given up on BBC One's Question Time, but I must still note last night's episode. It was extra-ordinarily slanted towards the left.
Consider the composition of the panel:
So, on a day of public sector strikes, the BBC book three lefties, a politically unaffiliated (as far as I'm aware) business leader, and a Conservative. Really balanced. Really likely to lead to proper debate.
I can only agree with Andrew Griffiths, the MP for Burton, who tweeted:
"Complete left wing bias on QT. Labour Minister, Union Leader and leftie Polly Toynbee. Where is the balance? BBC should be ashamed. #bbcqt"
…
"How on earth can the BBC justify such a left wing love in on Question Time? They should be ashamed."
