Just ad a call from the BBC...
I'm in the Question Time audience tomorrow night 
You'll be able to spot me in my hemp, hand knitted cardigan and sandals
Anyway I guess I'd better think of a killer question
Any ideas?
*had
Mind you I'm in Essex so I'm allowed to drop the odd 'h'

Nice one
Obviously because you can actually construct an argument, do basic fact checking then weigh the facts
Trying to come to an evidence based conclusion
You will be viewed as a symbol of BBC bias

I've had a few suggestions from my 'mates' which include...
'Should assisted suicide be brought in for Iain Duncan-Smith'?
'Should Kylie be honoured for her services to hot-pants'?
'Wenger Out'? (which I think was more of a statement than question)
'Should we repatriate all the Welsh'
Important matters of state

Do you really want to do this?
Those on here who think you're a k**b from your posts will now not have to wait and read what you write, they will just link it mentally to the video clip of your 5 minutes of fame
My sister in law once went on TV to complain about some subject, cant remember now what it was, but I do remember she came across as a complete hysterical woman on TV. Her argument to us sounded valid but it didn't come across like that on TV.

You don't need to tell us what you will be wearing.
You'll be the one in the background, saying, "No, no, no it isn't, No, no, no it doesn't, No, no no it wasn't, No, no no it hasn't," or alternatively, "That never happened, you found that on a right wing site," and then throwing insults.
Oh, we'll recognise you OK. LOL

How about asking where the panel stands on Osborne's Jamie Oliver "inspired" sugar tax since it will do nothing to kerb sugary soft drink consumption and will only hit the poor and those less well off while sipping a can of Coke Zero(tax).

Aspartame has been thoroughly tested by the FDA, found to be safe, and is not banned in any states ( as far as I can tell).
There have of course been many concerns about it, but I'm not qualified to comment of the validity of the science.

I always think Question Time should be sub-titled The UK Liars Championship.
I really dosen't matter what question you ask.If the subject reflects well on them they will try & take the credit & damn everyone else.If they don't like the question they will fudge the issue & blame everyone else on the panel for the problem.Oh,and don't expect to get any facts on any subject.
I saw a brief 2 minute news update on the Budget yesterday & it had 3 factual errors in it.So good luck with that lot.

At the risk of being accused of denying another one of your facts...

Just looked, and they SAY it's as safe as can be..but continue to check.....
And an Italian study found an increase in blood-related cancers, in men, but because they couldn't replicate it in women, the drugs agencies said it was down to chance.
I think I'd rather not.
You only have to look back at Radium.........

Could that have been Saccharin? (which diet coke used to use and mix with aspartame until they switched completely to Nutrasweet) otherwise known as E954 in Europe.
That did carry a cancer health warning on packaging in the USA (most notable on "Sweet 'n Low" ) , but apparently that's since been lifted. And they did try to ban it at one point under federal law (Federal meaning it would be banned in the whole of the USA).
It is banned in Canada (or at least it was until recently).

Martin, I thought you were the guy in bright yellow 3-piece suit who did speak something a couple of times. Also, I think that that Tory Nicky woman is actually George Osbone in female clothing.
