Question Time Thurs. nite 4/May

I guess Oona has had a nasty blast in her position in Bethnal Green, which is a place I visit sometimes, from Mr Galloway, but I found her a bit changed and was disappointed. I used to find her newspaper column warm and insighful. It was interesting how she seemed to , and I think she would want to appear like this,be in a different mould/ mind-set than the other politicians and was a bit blase describing her time in retail as the most important job she'd ever had and when she was pulled up on it by the question master, too lazy to look up his name sorry! she seemingly didn't register any damage from the the " no wonder you lost your position then, you deserved to" criticism. Personally it would have made my blood boil. When she used her job story as a piece to remind us of Mr G's stay in the B.B. house I wondered how scripted the show might be, as in do they know the questions beforehand? I guess it's like the Little Britain piece our Vicky Pollard does. I thought " he" did it in one take but I guess he starts out rehearsing in his bathroom whatever building up the speed. I used to talk at super speed as a teen, can't do it now ; no words emerge!. My kids can't bear to listen to me as I scramble around trying to think as I speak.

I was surprised she used an example of her visit with her son to emergency services, it came across to me as insincere, but she may have been trying to accentuate the positive.

Once when my daughter, then 19 ish, some 5 years ago,was watching a key match on a pub T.V. she, Oona, bought the three girls a drink and was quite pleasant and chatty.
