more volcanos please - I work right under the flight path of luton airport - bliss today
Cleggs winning on the ITV online poll as well.
total wipeout without the lifejackets I reckon
I thought that NI paid for the NHS...
mr cameron, mr cameron, mr brown thankyou, mr cameron!
Loved Brown's little shake of the head in response to Cameron. Perfect! His best move of the night. Without saying a single word, he made Cameron look like a foolish child. Brilliant! Really established himself as the elder statesman.
Actually, he is letting Cameron and Clegg fight it out and just keeps calm and acts like a proper Prime Minister. Quite a deliberate but successful strategy.
The kingmaker Clegg is speaking well, but I can't help but think that he seems so inexperienced. 'Dave' has his trousers around his ankles and seems nervy, Gordo is coming across well - his answers include actual examples and he knows his stuff (all theory for the others for obvious reasons). I'm not sure who to vote for yet, but I think that of the 2 major parties it's 1-0 to Labour in this debate. Stewart is a prI@k.
Someone really needs to take stewart out the back and shoot him
Scores on the doors:
Clegg +5
Brown +1
Cameron -5
Stewart -100
I agree. Cameron was the biggest fan of this, but it has really backfired on him.
There's another debate coming up. Surely Stewart has to be replaced.
I can't believe this...
Thirteen years of spin, lies, deception and obsession with eroding our civil liberties.
And people are about to give Labour another chance!
Listening on radio, not watching. Brown sounds better than Clegg if you can't see them. Clegg is fumbling. Shame, as I'm an LD supporter.

Now here is a man that would have livened up any debate
I think clegg is benefitting a lot from what i perceive as brown targeting cameron and cameron targeting brown, dragging eachother down.
And people are about to give Labour another chance!
Personally I hope not. But just commenting on the debate, Cameron has come across as a complete lightweight. Brown hasn't said anything of interest but he's defended well. Clegg seems to have some fire in his belly.
If it seems different on the radio, that's interesting...
no one contesting the FACT that David Cameron has a very punchable face?
Labour has swamped every single area of our public services with mountains of paperwork cascading in every day taking armies of bureuacrats to deal with it...........
Cameron DOES have a punchable face. He lives near me, so I might just get that chance! Can't wait.
Brown DOES have a punchable face. He lives near me, so I might just get that chance! Can't wait.

Was it worth watching? I was in the pub.
how are you all watching this and posting? Is it a case of laptop on the sofa?
My computer is in a different room so I have to take it in shifts, can still hear it though.
not sure what makes me feel more nauseous, David Cameron or the set in the background
laptop on the sofa but pub sounds better
You could have still posted a comment without actually watching it. They didn't really say anything new.
Clegg wins!
Go Nick, 'Unite the clans!'
Apart from repeating himself a little he walked it, gets my vote.
WTF is Mackeroon on with that sum up.
The BSI reference maximal punchable face

Definitely somewhere on the punchabilty scale.
actually much better than I expected - they pushed the rules and seemed to enjoy winding up Alistair Stewart
Cameron has an extremely punchable face!
When I voted Labour in 1997, I didn't vote for illegal wars, the ratcheting up of the cost of mobility, tuition fees, excessive spin, easing the lives of the wealthy and the relentless need to strip away personal privacy.
I voted for more money to benefit the NHS, better public services and most of all for an end to the Westminster culture of the time.
Wish i'd carried on watching the tour of Turkey i taped earlier, that was an hour i guess i'll never get back.
End was a classic, oh bother Brown is shaking hands and we are standing like lemons moment.
HaHa, hilarious, all we needed was a baby in front row to hold.
Cameron looks punchable because he looks like Michael Schumacher
I may say that I find a man who frequently has his hand in his trouser pocket rather disturbing. 😯
Bring back Dimbleby for much needed authority in the playground.
My other half noticed that Cameron claims to have spoken to a 40 year old black man from Plymouth who had served in the navy for 30 years. How does that work then?
can I punch him now? thanks.
Ah flashy...have you not checked your favourite blogs? What's the spin on that ballbag Cameron being such a let-down this evening?
Right, fixed my rear mech. What did I miss?
thank god i fell asleep and missed it!

Cameron starting WWIII on China.
I actually wanted to watch this, but I was out riding instead. Well I say wanted - I wanted to know what they were all going to say...
I did rather expect Brown to come out well because a) he actually knows what's going on, and b) he's used to far higher pressure situations than that - meetings with national leaders about how pulling the world's economy back from the brink, for example. I also really hoped that the other two would be able to expose DC for the windbag he always seemed to be. I've not heard him say ANYTHING that wasn't just playground taunts dressed up as political comment or at best the kind of piss-poorly thought out attempts at politics you'd expect some precocious 15 year old to come out with.
Cameron starting WWIII on China.
Today the Chinese will be turning around 300,000 missile launchers and pointing them at us. Thanks Dave.
I thought Cameron looked a ****t, he said the word Guango too often. I also can't abide the fact that he brought his dead son up again. Yes, its very sad, but he does use it for his own gain IMO. He also annoyingly brought too many clearly made up examples of people he has supposedly met met into his examples to try to look like he has some sort of connection with the real world which he clearly does not.
WTF was his comment in relation to China about?
If Hull only have five Police cars I'd be worried, its quite a big place.
It's depressing how the whole tone and agenda of the debates seems to be based on tabloid newspaper headlines. 🙁
Isn't this whole debate thing just turning it into a media driven "reality show" spin off?
We're told that looking at how these guys "stand" or "use their hands" will give us some sort of deep insight into the sort of person they are? What tosh. As if they haven't read the books and been coached extensivly on how to stand or how to use their hands. It's laughable. All this was is an exercise in "coming accross well". Nothing much to do with policies.
They say in the US the winning candidate is usually the one who looks good and has the best hair (or rigs the re-count)
In Zimbabwe the winning candidate is the only candidate.
What will they say about the UK I wonder 🙂
We're told that looking at how these guys "stand" or "use their hands" will give us some sort of deep insight into the sort of person they are?
Well I think it'd be more accurate to say that their body language would betray how confident they are in what they are saying. Which is important, because they could be bullsh*tting or just not know their stuff; or they could actually know what they were talking about. An important point 🙂
