Poor Man About Town

I tuned into Any Questions today on BBC's Listen Again facility. Gosh it was fucking boring, the panel was fucking boring - they consisted Andy Burnham - Some twelve year old Health Minister; Chris Grayling - Shadow Transport Secretary; Derek Simpson - General Secretary Amicus and Ruth Deech. I never heard of Derek Simpson until now - he said "he promised to give Tony Blair and effing migraine" - oh really, I think Blair has got more of an effing migraine and it is highly doubtful whether this being of such remarkable feats has made any contribution to Blair's headaches. Derek Simpson's performance on this programme was quite lacklustre and I am led to think whether the Amicus membership is getting their moneysworth from this man. As for Andy Burnham, who sounded like the New Labour version of The Worker's Friend, made a very patronising statement about working class people being deprived of University Places becauses they do not know the language or techniques to get a place, he was talking as if the working class had some kind of intellectual deficiency or learning difficulty - bullshit! History has taught us that if anyone is determined enough they will achieveThe rest of the panel were equally bland. It was worst ever Any Questions in to which I have tuned. It was complete bollocks. This programme should fizz not fizzle out.
