Is The Bbc Being Deliberately Provocative In Inviting Galloway Onto Question Time?

Perhaps it could be said so, taking into account that the programme is being televised from Finchley, which has the largest Jewish community of any parliamentary constituency.

But surely hate him or loathe him, as a Member of Parliament he has the same rights as any other to appear on the show.

I wonder if he will get the same treatment from the audience and rent-a-mob outside as Nick Griffin of the BNP did when he appeared on question time? Somehow I doubt it very much as he is at the wrong end of the political spectrum.

Just checked Finchley is made up 9% Jewish, but 8% Muslims.

The notion that this is deliberately anti-Jewish of the BBC is therefore completely false.

No more provocative than inviting loudmouth Russell Brand onto the programme - everything he says appears to offend.

he's ok dave50 hating jews is allowed.

I'd like to see George Galloway, Nigel Farage, David Starkey, Russell Brand and Jo Brand (no relation - in any way - one is intentionally hilarious)
on the one programme
The venue could be Finchley or anyway ...

...or anywhere :-)

[agchristie]

Galloway is always good value,the dour no-nonsense Will Self must be due back on soon and Douglas Murray whose incisive style and steely look is clinical!

[ichkeria]

Yes Will Self and Douglas Murray -- and Owen Jones -- would be the core of another lively line-up

Battered eyelids, now there's an acquired taste.
