I don't have a real problem with this, to be honest.

 

The BBC are bang out of order employing him (and I believe Saturday's protest will have led to questions being asked at the Corporation), but they have every right to invite him onto Question Time.

 

It could prove useful - if there's a Red in the audience who can ask the panel about Hillsborough, McKenzie will have to answer and the dickhead will expose himself live on TV. I'd imagine this will lead to greater press exposure of the Justice campaign.

Why all the fuss about him being on? it's obvious they've invited him on to face the music. I think you can e-mail the show, but let's keep it respectable eh? This could go two ways, let's not allow him or them to use the receipt of overly abusive e-mails to perpetuate his opinion about us.

Agree...If he is put on the spot re: Liverpool/Hillsborough, hopefully this will expose him to the nation,

From the bbc website:

 

" Question Time is now interactive during the programme. You can take part in the debate by sending us a text message. The number is 83981."

 

As someone else mentioned, keep it sensible and polite and it should get on.

 

Keep it sensible and polite anyway. The last thing we want is reports that "Liverpool fans bombarded the show with vitriolic abusive profanities".

 

Somebody is going to come out of this with a battered reputation, let's make sure it's him.

Im not watching it.....itll be the first time in months. Cant think of a better method of protest.

 

Anything else is pandering.

 

 

I disagree, I think it's an extremely ineffective form of protest. Question Time doesn't exist to attract ratings, it exists to fulfil the beeb's public service remit.

 

The best method of protest, I believe, is to text/email the show and (calmly and rationally) condemn his actions. There was a general consensus that the Brian Reade article at the weekend was a very good thing - tonight is an opportunity to inspire more of the same in the national press.

 

He's clearly on the panel because he's topical (if you watch every week, you're surely aware that sitting on the panel isn't exactly a badge of honour), and the only reason he's topical is because of the protest on Saturday. As I said, the programme doesn't attract a huge number of viewers, but it does attract a high proportion of journalist/media type viewers.

 

This is why I don't understand all the "bbc are cunts" posts. Surely this is a good thing? QT's a public forum and being held accountable on it for his views will help further publicise the boycott and the reasons behid it.
