We're looking to do more webchats (could be about Brexit, a forthcoming General Election or absolutely anything else at all)

We would love to know who your ideal webchat guests would be. So do let us know on this thread.

Gerry Robinson the former CEO of many big companies. Richard Branson, Rod Stewart, Mick Jagger and Dame Maggie Smith .

Definitely Chris Packham for me. I have a specific question I would like to ask him.... or David Attenborough if Chris is not available.

That's for a whole roast chicken. With herbs and spices. In a bag. And a foil tray.

I'd also like a webchat with the CEOs of major supermarkets.

(For instance, I was in Waitrose over the weekend and they had an offer on chickens for £3 shock. So I would like to ask e.g. whether at that price I can be sure that the chicken has had a good life - as promised by Waitrose about all their chickens).

Margaret Atwood, please! What an interesting, wonderfully direct and outspoken woman.

Yes to Joan Bakewell. She has a lot of common sense.
What about Helena Kennedy QC? She sees the law from Woman’s point of view - could be very helpful. Please not Doris Johnson. Enough’s enough.
How about Karen Armstrong. Very wise spiritually.
There doesn’t seem to be much of that on Gransnet. I DONT mean religion.
Anna Ford?

The lovely Dr Chatterjee drchatterjee.com

I'm a great admirer of Chris Packham, but I can't think of what I'd want to ask him. My vote would be Boris. Boris would be wonderful. Lots of things to ask him!

Actually, someone senior from Extinction Rebellion might be good. Perhaps they could put their hopes/demands over in terms we can understand.

Greta! smile

We would have to have his dog as well. That would be ok. He might -manage-- do a little yap or two.

Sigh! hmm grin

We've had Alan Titchmarsh. Monty Don on the other hand...….grin blush

Gonegirl Mon 23-Sept-19 11:09:03

We could tear Boris to pieces interrogate Boris mercilessly.

Anyone but Packam

HettyMaud Sat 21-Sept-19 16:35:18

Definitely Chris Packham and David Attenborough.

sarahellenwhitney Sat 21-Sept-19 15:52:52

Either Alan Tichmarsh or Monty Don. Their programmes have shown me how to turn what I believed unachievable into achievable.

Kathy Burke...her recent documentary series was excellent.

vickya Sat 21-Sept-19 11:38:10

Many of the ones already mentioned would bemy choice too. Not Boris. Get enough of him on tv/radio etc. But Sandi Toxvig, Chris Packham, Judy Dench, Jess Phillips all get my vote too. What about some authors? Elly Griffiths is one of my favourites. Also Louise Penny, who is Canadian, but Gransnet is read from there too, isn't it? And Kerry Greenwood.

Davida1968 Sat 21-Sept-19 10:01:02

A "yes" here for Chris Packham. (Someone who stands up for wildlife.)

Nortsat46 Thu 19-Sept-19 17:47:52

Sandi Toksvig, to tell us about the work of the Women's Equality Party.

He'd be happy with the GN demographics - lots of Brexit oldies and Northerners
