Who likes a good debate?
Hailing from the uk I must confess I enjoy my weekly dose of question time - not perfect but you generally get a good discussion and it's always nice watching politicians squirm when lambasted by tactless working class scum err people 
So what do you guys watch/listen to for a good debate/discussion if indeed you do? Although I mainly listen to music when I work I occasionally like to feel a bit more cerebral and listen to a debate/discussion on some current affairs or something, can anyone recommend anything?

Essentially Radio 4 is the best place to listen to current affairs, as it's talk only (no music) and the station tends to cater more intellegent tastes... not the plebs.
I must confess I think 'the wright stuff' can be really interesting sometimes and have a good smattering of different opinions, although unfortunately the quality of debate can range from the ethics of cloning to 'who killed michael jackson' bollocks, plus some of the retards who phone in (is that terribly un-pc?) really make me feel a lot better about myself as a general human being but still the shows generally pretty good for a daily round-up.
But when i look back and see how terrible it could have been (just look at the repuclican ticket), i still get a warm feeling.
