I watched this the other night on BB2 and found it fascinating.

It’s
no surprise to me that I come out as Mrs Chiantishire – but I was a
little disappointed that I only got 9/14 on knowledge (as the holder of
a GCSE in European Studies and a former student of the Ingatestone Anglo-European School.

(The GCSE was mandatory.)

I was also pleased to see that some of the pundits themselves confessed to some confusion on the issue.

…and I was mightly impressed with both Will Hutton and Sir Stephen Wall.

Finally, I just want to add that this kind of programme is truely what the BBC does best – real debate, conveying complex topical information in a digestible fashion.

Just what I feel the Government has failed to do with the European issue (and with tutition fees come to that).
