Tonight on 18DoughtyStreet
Labour MP Chris Mullin will be on the programme from 9pm to 10pm talking about his political career, which will no doubt include a full review of A VERY BRITISH COUP - we'll be showing an excerpt. From 10pm-11pm Conservative Shadow Homeland Security Spokesman Patrick Mercer and 7/7 blogger Rachel from North London will be with us. On the End of the Day Show at 11 I'll be joined by Dizzy, Madsen Pirie from the ASI and Helen Szamuely from EU Referendum blog.

I notice, Iain, that you dodged my question this evening while tut-tutting over SOCPA:
> Tell me, Iain, when have you personally gone out and challenged the
> Westminster shut-out, specifically Section 132 of the Serious Organised
> Crime and Police Act 2005?
Bugger! I missed Chris Mullin!
A shame. I really enjoyed 'A Very British Coup', though I don't think it compares to 'House of Cards'.
Still waiting for Iain's answer. Maybe he needs a day to make (oops) cook one up.
Tim, No, I haven't been on a public protest. It's not the only way of making a view heard is it? Other ways can be equally, if not more effective sometimes. Not quite sure what I have done to offend you, but I realise I am part of an ever growing crowd of people you seem to have a problem with.

About time. Strange that you should (finally) face that here, and not on 18ToryStreet where you seemed sooo concerned about SOCPA. Mouth.
It's not the only way of making a view heard is it?
When making a view heard becomes illegal, challenging that law seems the only sensible way to work for the greater good.... but I know that you're more concerned about your career. Mouth.
Other ways can be equally, if not more effective sometimes.
Show me one example where you have challenged SOCPA in 'other ways'. Mouth.
Not quite sure what I have done to offend you
You know. Or, if you were a decent human being, you should. And you can quit it with the 'angry young man' routine... it was past old when Milton copied it off Team Bush. Mouth.
... but I realise I am part of an ever growing crowd of people you seem to have a problem with.
Funny, but that ever-growing crowd appears to have sprouted 'spontaneously' from October 2006 onwards. Mouth.
(PS - For the record, the sharp-eyed have already spotted your 'angry young man' plant in your laughable blogging report. Keep slinging the mud, sport... some might stick.)
I Very much enjoyed listening to, and via msn, taking part in 18DS this evening, Iain. I think it was the moment when you referred to a certain Daily Mail columnist as a "d***head" that I realised why 18DS stands head and shoulders above the political programmes offered by the mainstream broadcasters: You can all speak your minds freely. I value that a lot.
PS, I was the frequent msn commentator whom you referred to as "Stan". Not sure why my msn username (and real name) of "Tom" is not appearing on your screen. My hotmail email address starts with "stan733---", I guess that must be what your screen is showing??
Anyway, thanks for reading out some of my comments.
I `ve looked at Rachel from North London`s Blog and she seems like a nice enough girl.
Without wishing to imply I have a tremendously high opinion of myself (that being the point), I `m wondering what she knows I don`t know already and better.
Is she being promoted for her looks in standard foxier-moron style ...or not ?
Come to think of it why not it`ll make a change from Croydonins horrible socks , but them he does know an awful lot.......
Newmania, what did you think of Rachel North's reply to my question on 18DS yesterday evening about the £2 million spent by Red Ken on flutteirng penants, when only half of London Underground stations have the desired first aid kits.
The first rule of economics is that resources are scarce. The £2 million spent on penants could not then be spent on something that could make a tangible difference to saving lives. I must say that I wasn't impressed with her view that the money slashed out on those penants was well spent...
Helen Szamuely was magnificent and Dizzy was good value, too. But that lefty woman - was that Rachel of N London? - was irritating. And t-r-i-t-e. Why do the left always affect this air of exasperation and puzzlement that others don't share their views? Conservatives don't do this. Conservative are fine with accepting that other people may have other views.
I found all this empathy and non-judgementalism regarding the murders of prostitutes nauseating. It is terrible that anyone is robbed of their life, obviously, and if I were to witness such an event, I would go to her aid. That shouldn't even have to be said.
But these women inhabit a dark, seedy netherworld, and they entered it of their own accord. There are places to go for help to get off drugs. They could walk into any church and ask for help and someone there would see to it that they got on some programme.
I am terribly sorry for their families, but they were living a life of their choosing and I don't think society as a whole has to accommodate itself to the very weak. That lefty woman, Rachel, if that was her, kept referring to them as "sex workers", which is an obvious manipulative attempt to legitimise this world - although when have you ever encountered a subtle lefty? And she talked about making it safe for them to "do their jobs". Their jobs, eh? Do they pay taxes on these "jobs"?
I know they will catch the bastard who committed these awful crimes, but let us not use his psychosis as a tool to weaken the structure of society even further.
