Great line up - very balanced: Livingstone versus Tory MP + Adam Smith Institute bint + a "comedian" (who used to be in the LP and spinning for Blair). Thanks BBC.

Thought she was particularly odious tbh, didn't notice a comedian though

I'm not defending Putin, but all governments lie to both their own people and the international community. The consequences can be just as serious when western governments do it. The 45 minute claim being a prime example.

I agree, Labour can't be trusted.....

How do so many mad people get positions of power? Throughout history it is the same story. Will we never learn?

They are absolutely insane though. I'm more scared of our government and other western governments than I am of ISIS, these people are frighteningly mental

From the BBC....

"Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned Russia's President Vladimir Putin not to "play with fire" over his country's downing of a Russian jet.
Mr Erdogan also said he wanted to meet Mr Putin "face-to-face" at climate talks in Paris to resolve the issue.
Mr Putin wants an apology from Turkey before he will speak to Mr Erdogan, the Russian president's aide said.
Russia has suspended its visa-free arrangement with Turkey in the latest of a range of retaliatory measures."

And these are the people who run the world.........

Add to them, Obama, Hollande and Cameron who haven't got a clue what the consequences of their interventions in the Middle East will be.
