…then you should check out Right On, a 15 minute weekly programme from Telegraph TV. Unlike BBC programmes, it is advertiser-funded; it uses Telegraph journalists with the production outsourced to ITN. The libertarian-leaning show each week features a studio debate, a short segment of Iain Dale and Simon Heffer arguing, and Andrew Pierce’s take on Westminster gossip. In the latest episode, Ann Widdecombe – who should know better as an elected politician – throws a hissy fit under questioning about taxpayer money being spent on the second homes of MPs.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Hah, that was incredible. After the initial hissy from Ann Widdecombe they both just kept baiting her again and again. Consider the last twenty seconds. Genius!
This is a hell of a lot better than the pussy, leftist programmes like Newsnight and the Today programme that the Beeb makes us pay for.
Ann’s appauling behaviour is indicative of the total arrogance of MPs – making demands on the presenter and acting with such sanctimonious superiority.
She would have been much more credible if she had been a bit cooler and not tried to control the conversation. When will we learn that anyone who wants to be elected is not to be trusted?
