UK Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt gets bitchslapped by a junior doctor on BBC Question Time.

Failures in the MTAS computerised job application system mean that many junior doctors will be left without jobs. The British Medical Association estimates that 34,250 doctors are chasing only 18,500 UK posts, due to start in August 2007.

Broadcast on 3 May 2007.

  • Question Time is little more than a pseudo-intellectual's drum-head arena of debate. Whoever comes up with a cheesy/arousal-able retort/attack within the fog of exchange is cheered by the audience. That is why debates like this should be solely based on written format, but of course, that wouldn't make good TV. Same for PMQ's, court cases, and other such important vehicles. People who value this kind of discussion are a realised danger to society itself.

  • Furthermore, the type of people who go on this show are unrepresentative of society. Socially awkward, and wouldn't fit in well in most social circles. Indeed, if this Doctor was in my university he would be the class wierdo, as would most of the audience and panels be on this show. Essentially, Question Time is a congregation of class wierdos. It shouldn't be viewed with the reverence it is, the fronted intellectualism is all smoke and mirrors.
