Ditto, Shambles... complete bloody waste of time .. when ARE the BBC going to have this man in open debate with an pro-active analytical interviewer?

They do it to Government Ministers on other issues .. why do they soft-pedal on Howells ... frightened he's going to cut off their funding or something?

It just confirms my impression that Howells doesn't really have a clue at what is going on (doesn't even know who involved in putting the working party inclusions) It's Andrew Cunningham head to head with, say, Paxman they should put on ... on eg., Question Time with all of us in the audience!
