the6thestate asked Davena Rankin: "Do Conservative policies have the potential to transform places like Glasgow East? If so, how?"
Davena Rankin answers: "Glasgow East is a wonderful community with tremendous spirit. However, we do have problems to contend with and Conservatives are seeking to provide the answers. We forced the SNP to pledge 1000 extra ..." Show more»"
Glasgow East is a wonderful community with tremendous spirit. However, we do have problems to contend with and Conservatives are seeking to provide the answers. We forced the SNP to pledge 1000 extra police officers, forced them to bring forward a cut in business rates for small businesses and forced them to implement a national drugs strategy focusing on recovery, not management. We want to provide the framework that allows society to flourish – hand in hand with community groups I will work tirelessly to ensure this is the case.

the6thestate asked Steve Bennedik: "Do you think the fact that the McCann's have employed professional media spokepeople has helped the media coverage of the abduction, or indeed, the attempts to solve the case ? "
Steve Bennedik answers: "I don't think employing professional media spokespeople has done any harm, for the case or for the McCann's. I think they have benefited from getting professional advice. I am sure there are some critics..." Show more»" I don't think employing professional media spokespeople has done any harm, for the case or for the McCann's. I think they have benefited from getting professional advice. I am sure there are some critics who say they lit the bonfire of publicity and so deserved to be burnt. But I think once it gets out of control - and for them it probably felt like it was getting out of control - they need some level of protection. It's not easy dealing with a competitive media.

the6thestate asked Brian Barwick: "Do you foresee a time when every Premiership side is in the hands of a billionaire with a questionable background? Is there any way for you to safeguard against this?"
Brian Barwick answers: "I foresee a time when every Premier League club is a thriving commercial and financial institution – a business – boasting a successful set-up both on and off the pitch, giving back more to fans and the..."

In fact, I think we’re almost there now! "Show less«

the6thestate asked Paul Ince: "How do you think the majority of players feel about the amounts that top players get paid? Does it fuel their ambition or are they concerned about the way the game is going?"
Paul Ince answers: "I think players really want to earn as much as possible – why shouldn’t they? At the end of the day their career span is very short and they have to take all of the opportunities open to them. Many thousands..." Show more»" I think players really want to earn as much as possible – why shouldn’t they? At the end of the day their career span is very short and they have to take all of the opportunities open to them. Many thousands fall by the wayside every year so those who do make it deserve a good wage. "Show less«

the6thestate asked Abdul Muhammad Bari: "Do you have a long term strategy for reducing levels of extremism in UK Mosques?"
Abdul Muhammad Bari answers: "The current discourse about terrorism is dictated by a 'terrorism industry' who – without any evidence base – make the outrageous claims that British mosques are bastions of extremism. Whilst I await ..." Show more»" The current discourse about terrorism is dictated by a 'terrorism industry' who – without any evidence base – make the outrageous claims that British mosques are bastions of extremism. Whilst I await for that evi-dence to be forthcoming (number of mosques? Which mosques? What message?), I think you will find that the scourge of extremism is a very modern phenomenon. This requires a collective response. Because of the inability of a lot of our mosques to reach out and empa-thise with young people, demagogues outside the mosque, in youth clubs, cafes and increasingly on the internet, prey on our young. They capitalise on the inability of our mosques and pointing to the demonisation Muslims face in the media, arguing that Muslims have no place in this society. Internally, the MCB and the community in general are looking at strength-ening our internal capacity to ensure that mosques follow good practice. That they can empathise with the young and are welcoming of all. This has less to do with theology and more to do with capacity building. Mosques up and down the country have been set up by local communities, in homes, converted warehouse and shops. With meagre resources, they have tried to provide the most basic of religious services, but in a lan-guage that caters for the first generation. "Show less«
