Question Time

Last week's Question Time forum on the eve of the Scottish Elections is now on YouTube:

The event was organised by the iWitness newspaper and Office of Muslim Affairs, and raised some of the more moral questions facing the Scottish Parliament not normally raised in the mainstream media. Topics raised by the audience included: torture/bomb flights refuelling at Prestwick Airport; Islamophobia; dawn raids; Trident; Islamic schools; civil liberties and Iraq.

The panel were:
Alex Salmond (SNP)
Margaret Curran (Labour)
Robert Brown (Liberal Democrats)
Bill Aitken (Conservatives)
With lawyer Aamer Anwar in the chair

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7

I have started to watch the BBC's 'Question Time' again, after many years, due to the baleful influence of Osama and the commenteers at MediaLens.org

Here is what the denizens of MediaLens thought of last night's QT -
http://members5.boardhost.com/medialens/msg/1177611171.html>Tonights Question time..you guessed it right. plus a leading neo-con.

I managed to switch my tv on and managed to catch the last half of last night's show.

The dazzling Plaid Cymru panellist was praising the benefits of Welsh devolution at one point, due to which the neo-con panellist refered to him as a,
"..petty nationalist"
to which the PC panellist replied,
"..and this kind of attitude is exactly why we have our own Welsh Parliament"

Brilliant!

Notice the neo-con's dislike of democracy and his love affair with Britian following its US orders - both standard British Establishment attitudes.

Bush and Blair are guilty of the same crime as Hitler - 'unprovoked aggression'

As well as Guantanamo concentration camp,
the US also has 18,000 Iraqis currently imprisoned - I don't know how many victims they have imprisoned and abused at Baghram concentration camp in Aghanistan.

As yet, nobody knows how many concentration camps and torture chambers the US runs around the world, who their victims are and how many there are - just like in Hitler's day!

Tony Blair and his New Labour Party, along with the British intelligence and security services have all been, and are, willing collaborators of the Bush regime in all its on-going neo-nazi depravities (the UK's Belmarsh Prison comes to mind).

And just as a matter of interest,
the corrupt racist Israeli regime has about 12,000 Palestinian kidnap victims currently illegaly imprisoned outside of Occupied Palestine, which itself, is a war crime under the 4th Geneva Conventions. The 4th GCs were deliberately designed after WWII in repsonse to Nazi atrocities.

And here is what Tony Blair proudly took part in last summer (ie 'unprovoked aggression'), when he allowed Scottish Airports to by used by the US to transport weapons to Israel, whose suppiles were running low, for use against defenceless Lebanese -
