Here is Toby Young's take on John Lydon's appearance on Question time.

Quote:
ANYONE tuning into Question Time on Thursday night will have been bemused to see John Lydon on the panel.

The former Sex Pistol had no idea about the programme’s format and instead of waiting his turn simply butted in whenever a thought occurred to him.

His points often fell into the category of the bleedin’ obvious and were accompanied by a lot of finger-wagging and emphatic nodding.

It was as if he’d wandered in from the pub next door, a glass of whisky in one hand and a spliff in the other, to give these politicians a piece of his mind.

It should have been annoying, but it worked quite well. The contrast between his saloon-bar style and the more considered views of the politicians made for some amusing moments.


From now on, I think Question Time should always reserve a place for a slightly sozzled pub bore on the panel. But the BBC may need to schedule it a little earlier than 10.35pm.

After the show, poor Johnny Rotten probably didn’t make it back in time for last orders.



Toby criticising John Lydon for butting in and behaving like the pub bore really is like the pot calling the kettle black.

Oh the irony! :lol:

Hitchens? Farage? Starkey? Mad Mel? MacKuntzie? You really don't get it, do you Toby?

Lol. That is all.

I think Toby is simply calling for his mate Fargle to have a lifelong residency as a panellist.

I still think Dot Cotton dropping her fag-end into the urn to start the games would be the image of the 'lympic opening ceremony.

I was picturing Bet Lynch, but that's probably a geographic thing.

As far as I can gather, QT is back at the end of this month, probably just after the Lib Dem conference.

QT back a week tomorrow, from Brighton with the Fib Dems.

Line up:

Danny the Ginger Cunt Alexander
Weird Tory Cunt from the Fifth Dimension Jacob Rees-Mogg
Pinko Journo Mehdi Hasan
The Fragrant Harriet Harman
And Grumpy (and probably Tory) Dragon Deborah Meaden.

Should be some good knockabout stuff.

Harman - who's just had a snap at Clegg for the half-hearted apology - versus Danny Alexander?

That has the potential to be interesting. In the proverbial sense.

Left winger on the BBC?! I shall tune in. Have a lot of respect for Mehdi. However, I do imagine shouty car crash noises from certain panelists.

Deborah Meaden has been on before and if I remember rightly she came across quite well. Certainly didn't seem to be overtly right-wing.
