Yes - I will watch it too. No doubt Conservative former Shadow Home Secretary Mr. David Davis will criticise this Labour shower in power for their plans to turn the UK into an authoritarian state.

And if no other candidates stand in the Haltemprice-Howden Parliamentary By-Election Mr. Davis will be returned as the MP for the seat without a vote.

Thank you Earthling for letting us know that UKIP leader Mr. Farage MEP is to be a guest on Question Time on BBC 1 Television this week.

I look forward to hearing what Mr. Farage has to say.

Looks like it's set to be a cracker! I'll be watching.

Good publicity for UKIP (i.e. Mr. Farage on Question Time this week) - what with start of the next EU Election campaign now only about 11 months away.

This is good news indeed. I get the feeling that more people are watching this show at the moment with the Labour Party on the rocks.

Nigel will of course wipe the floor with Hilary Benn and the Lib-dems of course Davies can't appear as a Conservative, so who will it be. And will the BBC select a Europe Question. Having been there, I know that the political elite control the proceedings. But it is good for the party.

The EU might be able to suffocate BBC staff talking badly about the EU, but they certainly won't be suffocating Nigel Farage on the matter.

Excuse my language but I can just tell that he is absolutely going to seriously kick ass and kick the **** out of the others (verbally!)

I personally think that David Davis is going to dominate the programme, and hopefully Nigel will agree with him on civil liberties.
