Question Time. Mick Hucknell ?

[anneasquith]

botox ?

[factor-fiction]

Do you mean he's talking botox or are you asking whether he's been using it?

[anneasquith]

using it .

[New Judge]

A very good question. I'm watching him now and it does seem his face above his upper lip is carved from a solid piece of wood. In particular his forehead shows no sign of movement whatsoever. And from the two comments he's made so far I would say he's talking Botox as well.

[Baldric]

Has he?
Hasn't he?

can you post some piccies for us to compare please?

[Baldric]

Ps, does it matter??

[sandyRoe]

Apart from being a singer and owning a vineyard in what way is he qualified to speak on current affairs programmes?

[New Judge]

Not at all, Baldric, but we can have a laugh can't we?

[kalimera]

He must be holding back the years

[anneasquith]

awe come on. give him time. :)

[New Judge]

And I'm holding back the tears !!!

[Baldric]

NJ, did I say we couldn't?

[anneasquith]

new judge, will they get through the programme without mentioning Scotland ?

[askyourgran]

Is he waxing lyrical?

>>>Apart from being a singer and owning a vineyard in what way is he qualified to speak on current affairs programmes?

Being a well-known Labour Party activist might have something to do with it, Sandy!

Mick Hucknall's name was being linked to Botox on web forums 6 years ago, Anne:

[sandyRoe]

Could he be harbouring a secret ambition to follow Michael Cashman to Brussels or Glanda Jackson to Westminster?

In terms of botox, MH does look rather smooth and strained simultaneously, which is often an indicantion of some ... ah ... assistance shall we say in defying the ageing process.

As to why he should be on the QT panel - it would be boring indeed if only MP's and their lordships were panellists. It is necessary to broaden the appeal to draw in viewers who may not otherwise watch the programme, and that is usually the purpose of inviting people who are known in other areas that politics.

It is easy indeed - and the Mirror critic took full advantage - to sneer at multi-millionaire musicians, as if an injection of eight figures into the bank coincides instantly with a lively and enquiring mind turning to mush and isolation.

The two do not equate - and if they do, Cameron is in serious trouble for one!

I think it is interesting and valid to hear the views of people who have enjoyed a political voice, and no doubt still do have opinions.

To assume that a rich man has no opinion on being poor is as facile as assuming that a poor man has no opinion on being rich - it is not necessary to experience every aspect of life in order to be able to think, hold opinions, and debate about them.

Didn't see the programme, so can't comment directly, but I have interviewed MH, and he is an intelligent and informed individual

[anneasquith]

he made very little contribution to the programme. though in honesty it was very boring .

[237SJ]

I`ve met him a couple of times (years ago) but so what if he has had botox? Does that make his opinions any less valid?

[anneasquith]

LOL. I don't think IF he has had botox or not it would have any affect on his appearance on question time.
