Question Time 17-Feb-2011 with Nigel Farage (highlights)

YES, THE MOON IS MADE OF CHEESE

On this week's show, we learn from Michael Heseltine how giving away British sovereignty actually strengthens it and from Yvette Cooper on why having the biggest budget deficit in the developed world is good for this country. Bizarrely, right at the beginning, Heseltine accuses Farage of "not answering the question" even though his answer was "yes".

Plus we have the usual smattering of "soak the rich" lefties who are clearly in need of a visit to the dentist and/or hairdresser. One audience member rants about Phillip Green's "Owlcadia" group - perhaps she doesnt like large employers in Britain.

Yvette Cooper strangely refuses to answer Nigel's question on whether European Courts have supremacy over British law (Dimbleby lets her off the hook of course) and refuses to apologise for Gordon Brown's scorched earth strategy.

For your benefit, most of Yvette's sanctimonious, irrelevant, high speed diatribe has been edited out so you can watch the main points of the programme without vomiting too much.

There was another lady on the panel who is introduced by Dimbleby as "one of the most powerful women in Britain" even though I doubt if anyone actually knows who she is. Maybe he should introduce himself as the man who is paid 15,000 pounds per show and see how that sits with his politically well balanced stooges...err, audience.

[mikesheen741]

"well, yes is a way of avoiding answering the question." - Did he really say that?

[MaxTallon]

Delighted to see Farage forcing Heseltine & Cooper to finally nail their true colours to the mast.....or should I say 'half-mast'?

I was amazed, also, at how easily he did it. Classic stuff!

[Sulked]

Farage for PM

Yay for Nigel, let's stop the immigrants and give the jobs to UK born people and not UK born people who say they are UK born Pakastinis

[Rapist4u]

Heseltine talking 100% bullshit. LOL.

[NapalmPuppet]

Hesseltine is either Stoned or suffering from serious memory problems. He accuses farage of going on a rant then fumbles and bumbles his way through meaningless bable.

I fail to see how giving money to a bunch of indians that could frankly be sustained by their OWN government will put food on my table and how this will help tue children of the future have jobs food on the table and a roof over the head
