Question Time

Yes, I've got a question for you. Why the fuck have you got the Bishop of Rochester on the panel? Most of the questions are focused on the banking collapse the rest on other political issues. What does a Bishop know about politics or economics anymore than my milkman or the dude who works in my local butchers who still sends Margaret Thatcher birthday cards? Unless he's suggesting God will see us right there's no justification for him being there. And if he does suggest that, I hope someone asks why he put us in this position in the first place.

God is meant to be omniscient so should have seen this coming and taken the appropriate steps to prevent it - one or two heart attacks amongst the finance community for example. You may as well have a staunch believer in Astrology on there, because unless the questions are specifically regarding monotheist religion, the presence of this bloke on the panel is inappropriate. This is one of my biggest bugbears; high ranking members of the Church given an exaggerated level of respect not afforded to anyone else in any other walk of life.

They do this on news programmes too. Get Rowan Williams on to talk about Iraq or the level of crime in West Bromwich. You're an authority on these issues how exactly? You're not actually an authority on anything except the regurgitation of Chinese Whispers from a couple millennia ago.

If he must be on there please someone ask him why God is letting us all pay so much for petrol and why is he still keeping John McCain alive. Thumbs down from me Mr Dimbleby. Thumbs very very down indeed.
