I have a ticket for the recording of Any Questions this Friday, as they are recording at my Nephews school.

Line up is...

Jonathan Dimbleby presents political debate and discussion from Hill House School in Doncaster with the Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon MP, Respect MP George Galloway , UKIP's spokesman on Economic Affairs, Patrick O Flynn MEP, and the Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Rachel Reeves MP.

I need help with is a good few questions to put forward, and hope one gets picked. Bearing in mind Galloway is on, I would love a good one which targets him. The best one I can think of is, Why are you a ? But I don't think that would be satisfactory......

I have posted in NP&E as its a politics issue, not a discussion abouti the programme.

Thanks in advance. If you devise one with PH in there somehow, that would be a deal breaker.

How much debt is it ok to saddle our children and grand children with in order we can live beyond our means now?

It would be a good question, but all we would get was waffle, with no answer.

Argentina has significant domestic issues and yet some observe that the Falklands could become a target again, perhaps as a diversion from domestic issues.

What would the panel do in the event of a second invasion - defend, withdraw or mediate?

It would have to be good if you want to trouble Galloway. If you want to lay in to the Coalition (with Galloway helping you) you could mention something to do with the absolute disaster we have created in Libya.

For George G, I would ask if there is anything else that he's not done already that he would be prepared to do to win this election.

My personal opinion is that he is a slimy fellow, I can't voice anything else or I may get a ban.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure Gorgeous George would fellate anyone, or jump on any bandwagon if if meant a vote.

The internet is at your fingertips, make your own mind up. I already have - a despicable individual prepared to sell himself to any group he thinks might vote him into a position of power.

Hope he realises in May, following the election, that he should just fade away.

Did you ever see the episode of Going Live when Eliot Fletcher asked a question of the pop-group Five Star?

I believe 'Matt Bianco' got the same treatment.

Any one else got any questions?

I could ask about the deficit caused by Labour, but all I would get would be Bankers, Bankers, ner ner Global Economy. Suprised Paxa let Ed off with that to be honest.


Only question I can think of is 'Do the panel agree with the NUS, that it is Islamophobic to condem ISIS?'

Probably too simple a question.

What would the panel prefer - a coalition of national unity, or a minority government with vote by vote issues? Which would be in the interest of the country vs the interest of the parties?

Who should the UK be backing in Yemen? The Iran backed terrorists who are also fighting ISIS, or the Saudi backed armies who back ISIS ?

Indeed, you need to pin it down more. Ask why during Gordon Brown's mid-2000's boom the government was not running a surplus.

If it's not too late how about:

"I Dislike all my local candidates & parties so what should I do? Random pin in ballot paper, vote as my dad did, Spoil the paper, vote the incumbent or not bother to vote".

George Galloway,
You act like a man who has morals and decency yet cannot take criticism without getting your litigation tricks out.

How can anyone act like a pariah when they use lawyers as attack dogs.

Well, it was interesting to watch the show going live.

Galloway looked ill, he wasn't walking very well, and had someone to help him. Does he ever look happy? Very shouty, with a permanent stern face. And wearing a silly hat, almost made me feel sorry for him. Did make good points though, well some anyway.

UKIP guy seemed OK, labour woman said nothing of substance, apart from crowd pleasing empty stuff, Fallon seemed confident, with good answers. Wouldn't like to try and debate with any of them, that's for sure. Maybe apart from Labour woman.

Quiet funny with the first question - about MP's giving a straight answer. They all discussed the actual question, apart from the Labour woman, who answered with a comment about winning the election (or something similar), then had to be asked the question again by dimbleby. That drew a chuckle from the audience, but I think it went straight over her head.
