kiltboy 0 #1 February 26, 2003 Something of a political post so feel free to ignore it. I thought some would like to know that Tony Blair had a bit of a Rebellion in the House of Commons over Iraq. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/2799377.stm Just trying to keep the information flowing.

kiltboy 0 #3 February 26, 2003 Yeah he's a trained Barrister. He does a regular press conference as well as Prime Ministers questions so he's been getting plenty of practice lately. David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Wouldn't you just love to see "W" have to deal with something like Prime Minister's Question Time? I love watching that on C-SPAN.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiltboy 0 #6 February 27, 2003 I don't like the idea of watching a train wreck. I don't know where you're from but one thing I really missed when I first came over to the states was Question Time They go round the UK to a different city each week and they have different MPs i.e. government, opposition, local MP etc. They get 100 people in the audience and they can ask any question they want. Watch the bastards squirm. I was really surprised that there was nothing like it in the run up to the Presidential election here. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/question_time/ David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f1freak 0 #7 February 27, 2003 Yeah, i see your point..... I got a kick out of the "Town Meetings" we had..... I agree it's a good thing..... HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiltboy 0 #8 February 27, 2003 I don't know if you've seen the program I'm referring to but I watched the "town meetings" and they pale in comparison. The guy that chairs the meeting will not let them dodge a difficult question. They have to defend themselves and it gets heatred. David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
