I have just got in from being on the panel for BBC Schools Question Time (well via a curry afterwards). Wolverhampton Girls High School got to the finals and held the event, the BBC were present and are judging them and the eleven other schools - so fingers crossed that they won.

I was on the panel with the local Labour MP, a Conservative Councillor, a local surgeon and a representative from a Secondary School Student body. The questions were interesting and varied from votes at 16 and the Peerage for loans sleaze to the future of grammar school and health service funding to one asking if it is better to have an honest fool or a clever liar as a leader!
