THE BBC panel show Question Time is to visit Cornwall on Thursday, June 25th
you can apply to be in the audience, I though it would be good to have a strong Cornish element to the audience who might put some good question about the dutchy perhaps or other difficult matters that concern them. It seems like a good chance to raise the questions nationally.
you can apply to be part of the audience here

I just thoght I would put it on the forum to let you all know, so you can make your voice heard.

It would be excellent to have a strong Cornish presence in the audience.
Apply to be in the audience: click here. Note that applying to be a panelist also allows you to register your ethnicity as Cornish.
You can also suggest a panelist: click here.
Again seeing some of our elected Mebyon Kernow or pro-Cornish Independent council members invited onto the panel is worth a little of your time.

Anything to do with the mighty BBC is a complete and utter waste of time and effort.
A Tory Baroness, a Government Minister, Julia Goldsworthy, a member of Plaid Cymru and some other up country non com are set to appear on this programme set in Newquay Treviglas School. They are all politicians with their snouts in the trough so they won't be much interested in issues in our little land. The BBC have set the programme in a foreign outpost as well – I mean Newquay or should I say 'surf city - hardly in Kernow is it ?
Don't expect Cornish matters to figure much at all. A relative of mine appeared on QT several years ago as a member of the audience. The BBC allow one question in advance about what they consider to be a 'National' issue – at the moment perhaps MP's expenses, the foreign wars etc. and one which must be drawn from the'national' news headlines on the day of the QT programme being made and which you write on a card on arrival at the filming venue and which is used if time is left.
Kernow is effectively excluded. We are too small and insignificant in the eyes of the BBC for which we are all taxed via the licence fee – another soap box issue of mine !

The problem is that it's a national programme watched by a national audience, who want to know about national issues, so it's understandable that Cornish issues aren't high up on the list of priorities

Bringing QT from Newquay is no different than reporting the news from either the studio or "live" . It's still the same " news ". Bullshit, the lot of it.

Well People I have this very morning received a phonecall from the BBC Inviting me along to the show and participate, and I will be going, so look out for the bloke in the Black and Gold Cornish Tee Shirt with the real Cornish Emblem on it…
What questions would you like me to ask, if at all possible??
And secondly what the hell have they done to our Forum???

What questions have you tested on your caller from Mentorn,the programme's producers, HeamoorMan?
How far did you get with your Kernow-centric question suggestions?

Here is the full 'Question Time' panel:
Jim Knight Minister of State for Employment and Welfare Reform
Baroness Neville-Jones Conservative
Julia Goldsworthy MP Liberal Democrat
Leanne Wood Plaid Cymru Assembly Member
Kelvin Mackenzie, former editor of The Sun newspaper
Perhaps an e-mail or three to Leanne Wood asking her to comment in passing on the BBC's noticeable anglo-centric neglect in not inviting the recently highly successful Dick Cole, leader of Cornwall's very own national party Mebyon Kernow, to sit on the panel would be beneficial?
Leanne Wood's e-mail address is: leanne.wood@wales.gov.uk
NB Jim Knight is a Southwestregionspeak©2007TK Labour Party clone with no apparent idea that Cornwall is NEXT to England, just like Wales.

Now there's a cracking idea!

Perhaps Leanne could say something along the lines of
' I am very surprised the BBC has asked me, a Plaid Cymru member from Wales, to sit on the panel in this edition of Question Time in the Duchy Of Cornwall when Cornwall has her very own national party – Mebyon Kernow – whose leader Dick Cole would have been very happy to participate in the programme had he been invited'.
