BBC Question Time: Charles Kennedy Divides Twitter

I don't think the BBC is safeguarding the safety of Charles Kennedy.

People tweeting about Charles Kennedy being back on the bottle. Addiction is an illness, if someone slips they shouldn't be ridiculed #bbcqt

As a recovering alcoholic, seeing Charles Kennedy on #bbcqt made me sad. There go I but for the grace of God and all that. Get well soon sir

Charles Kennedy is a thoroughly decent chap.

Not a fan of Lib Dems but felt for Charles Kennedy tonight. Needs help not mocking.

Dismayed by some of the Charles Kennedy comments. The man has previously admitted to a ruinous disease. #bbcqt

Charles Kennedy not at his best on #bbcqt... Hm.

Seeing a lot of mocking towards Charles Kennedy.

A good man who needs a little help. Like many people do now and again.

I’m not sure letting Charles Kennedy on #BBCQT was in anybody’s best interests, to be honest.

I think we're all waiting for that sudden bang when Charles Kennedy falls off his seat and the panel all pretend not to notice. #BBCQT

I cannot believe the BBC would allow a completely drunk Charles Kennedy to go on. How sad. #BBBQT

Charles Kennedy... I'm not going to say it, but... #bbcqt

If Charles Kennedy was wearing sad-faced clown make-up, he couldn't look more miserable. #bbcqt
