Damien Green on QT last night
Discussion
I thought the Conservative, Damien Green came across very well on last nights QT – much better than the cabinet minister Alan Johnson, who acted, I think, more like a second rate trade union official compared to the more articulate (in every way) Tory. I liked his (Green’s) dig about being the only one arrested for doing his job!
I also liked the fact that the mention of J. Smith’s name got as many boos as the BNP leader!

Agreed with a lot of what he said, though at times felt he was saying it because it was what he thought the audience wanted to hear.
Nigel Farage. Worth checking out some of his rants in the EU parliment on youtube, he does a good rant.Agreed with a lot of what he said, though at times felt he was saying it because it was what he thought the audience wanted to hear.
Apparently planning on running against the speaker in the general election...
I know Nigel Farage can hold his own (even that LibDem guy wasn't too bad - at least compared to Johnson), and I do enjoy listening to him, but I had never heard Damian Green before, and I was quite impressed with his performance, and he didn't resort to the usual mud slinging that NL are so prone to do when in a corner.

And which way, politically, do drink drivers lean Mr Oven?

A strange comment to make when the thread is so young and most of the posts are about UKIP.However, you'll find that the readership of PH is heavily Conservative-leaning. You are clearly not a Conservative supporter, so who would you prefer to see in power at the present time and why?

The problem with Farage is that he loves the sound of his own voice and won't shut up. Green was ok but a bit bland, which probably sums him up. I always reckoned that Johnson was a good operator but I agree with the OP, he came across like a 70's union heavy last night. Maybe he realises that Winky's refusal to go before the election means that his chance of leadership has probably gone... Norman Baker appeared to be dressed to go on to a rather naff 70's fancy dress party.
