I just watched Andrew Neil rip Simon Hughes and some Labour guy to
shreds over Europe. I'm beginning to wonder why politicians agree to go
on this show - Neil is merciless.

A quick apology makes it forgiveable. FWIW - and just as O/T - I don't
always agree with where Andrew Neil is coming from, but I've got a lot
of time for him as a journalist (even if he can be somewhat absurd).

Pointing out the absurdity of politicians' posturing is a valid
journalistic technique. Andrew Neil is spectacularly good at it.

Along with Nick Robertson (BBC) and Adam Boulton (Sky) he is one of
Britain's top three political journalists on television.

Robinson, not Robertson. Let's see how Boulton does moderating
tonight's debate.

Oh, golly. My apologies. ;-)

Perhaps not his greatest strength.

Unfortunately I will miss it as I am working.

Good, these characters need a reality check.
