Dear all,

Did anyone catch Question Time on BBC1 last night?

I caught 5 mins of it. Now I am no fan of Alex Salmond, however something he said immediately struck a chord with me. To paraphrase he stated that it would be a travesty if the only resignations to occur over the Iraq conflict, were the two top men at the BBC and the editor of the Daily Mail. He went on to say that Bush, Rumsfeld, Blair and Hoon should crawl on their knees to Kofi Annan to ask for his assistance and that of the Arab Nations.

This was then followed by almost the entire audience clapping and cheering in agreement. Now I am sure that the audience for Question Time is carefully selected to ensure lively debate and support for all the main protagonists. So to see such widespread support for Mr Salmond’s stance was rather surprising.

Cheers

BHR
