I intended to watch this for the Simon Pegg interview, but I turned it over to Russell Howard on BBC-3 because I couldn't take the constant whooping and screaming from the audience.

It was even worse than Loose Women.

Paul O'Grady rant about the spending review. Does anyone agree or disagree what he did? I thought he was right.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE88U5CocpM

A brief summary:

He asked the audience what they thought of Osborne - they booed, he said what he really hated was that as Osborne cut pensions, wheelchairs, etc, etc all the Tories were sitting smirking, wooping and laughing behind him and then he called them b******s, to huge applause.

Then he apologised for the language and said he bet they laughed in Bambi when the mother got shot. Then he sang a song about the rich getting the pleasure and the poor getting the blame.

Then he said about the French kicking off and said we should do the same - take to the streets, fight for the elderly/poor/sick/children, not accept draconian cuts etc, with patriotic music playing behind him. He got more angry and accidentally threw his glass of water across the set. Then ended by joking he couldn't be bothered cause its too cold.

He said they put an extra guard on Downing St in case anyone kicked off, but because of the cuts they couldnt afford to pay them overtime and they had to go home early. And that the Queen's had her money cut and she will be shopping in Lidl by Christmas, then he said he hoped she chucked the rock she got from the Chilian president through Osborne's window.

I saw that rant! I'd seen the spending review coverage with Osborne and chums and I agree with O'Grady on that count!

God knows what he'll say about Wayne Rooney this week.
