Dizzee Rascal for Prime Minister
I don't know how many of you saw Dizzee Rascal on Newsnight talking about Barack Obama's victory and - I thought - making a refreshing change from the usual round of pundits.
Interestingly enough, however, there have been 45 complaints so far that Mr Rascal was not an appropriate choice of guest. What was that all about?

Dizzee Rascal, underneath the rudeboy exterior, made great comments, which were meaningful and considering he is extremely popular with youth culture, a British music icon - it was very very appropriate! He may have not spoken with the eloquence or 'prim and proper' accent of the middle-classes (which many British people do not either) does not make his voice any less important. Wake up people.

I couldn't agree more, and in fact I think that what some people have interpreted as awkwardness was actually down to a delay on the line - this was why he and Jeremy Paxman kept interrupting each other.
