A Son of the Rock

I watched a bit of “Question Time” last night before the panellists’ constant interrupting of each other got too much on my nerves.

It was a special edition from America (because of some election or other they’re having over there which you may just have heard of.)

With David Dimbleby and Simon Schama, I could understand it. They’re British (in Schama’s case half of the time.)

But why on Earth were the four Americans on the panel wearing poppies? They were in America.

It would be like me waving the Stars and Stripes down Kirkcaldy High Street on Veterans’ Day or something.

What sort of Stalinist (no resistance will be tolerated) regime are the BBC running?
