Bill Coles |
Bill Coles has been a journalist for 22 years. He was at Eton with David Cameron, and was the political correspondent of The Sun shortly before Mr Cameron became MP for Witney in 2001. His new book, \"Dave Cameron\'s Schooldays\", is published by Legend Press, Price £7.99. For the first time in history, we are having three televised debates. Regardless of the outcome, these debates are ushering in a more presidential-style of government - where people will be inclined to vote for the party leaders, rather than their local MPs. Is this a good thing?Answer Requests: 1 Answers Posted: 0 View Answers  |
Sean Langan |
BAFTA nominee Sean Langan is a British journalist and documentary filmmaker who has filmed from Latin America to Iraq to Zimbabwe, and most recently Afghanistan where he made the award winning films \'Fighting the Taliban\' and \'Meeting the Taliban\' in 2007. In March 2008, while working on a film for Channel 4, Sean Langan was kidnapped in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region by a group associated with the Taliban after trying to make contact with Al-Qaeda\'s second in command. He was freed three months later. Given that this Government now accepts that there is a link between UK foreign policy and terrorist attacks in this country, and given that the Bush administration\'s foreign policies in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan - which Blair\'s Government supported almost without question - have been described as a \"colossal failure\" by the U.S Congress, do the parties agree that it is now time for parliament to scrutinize British foreign policy more closely?Answer Requests: 1 Answers Posted: 0 View Answers |

Wensley Clarkson |
Wensley Clarkson, writer of biographies, true crime books, screenplays and tv documenteries, asks the following question: Many of the experienced, veteran British criminals I have interviewed recently for my books and TV documentaries are predicting a vast increase in burglaries, street robberies, muggings etc thanks to the so-called credit crunch. They believe that more and more street gangs will be formed as unemployment rises and that these gangs will inevitably travel outside their \"home territory\" to seek victims further afield. It is a chilling prophecy. What does your party intend to do to prevent what seems to be an inevitable escalation of the sort of crime that most of Middle England lives in fear of?Answer Requests: 1 Answers Posted: 1 View Answers |

Jody Scheckter |
Jody Scheckter, the 1979 Formula One World Drivers Champion, is now a recognised organic farming expert operating from Laverstoke Park farm in Hampshire and producing outstanding meat, mozzarella cheese and ice-cream from an award-winning herd of 1500 buffalo. He asks: In view of the difficult economy, how do you propose to tackle the issue of bureaucracy in farming? A farmer now spends a large proportion of his time filling in forms and generating documents. This doesn’t play to his strengths, compromises his farming business and only serves to inform the TEN overseeing government bodies about what he is farming and why. The forms are then followed up by ten different inspectors conducting ten different audits. This is plainly nonsensical.Answer Requests: 2 Answers Posted: 1 View Answers |
