It's a national issue Bumper because millions of jobs can be created if the right investment is made in renewables.

The GB economy is outperforming most (if not all) of the other G8 countries. If you prefer George Osborne as chancellor Humphry, that is your perogative.

Blair did the Catherine Tate sketch....

This is going to turn into something isn't it? The curtains are going to open at the back and reveal big steps with sparkly women twirling batons....

Ooops just misread bobbies on the beat as boobies on the beat

Peabody · 15/04/2010 21:28

I'm waiting for DC to say 'I was in Bristol the other day visiting a Mumsnetter...'

Empty your glass when that happens.

APassionateWoman · 15/04/2010 21:28

Humphrey, GB didn't bugger up the economy single handedly and I doubt the rampant, unfettered capitalism that the Tories promote would have led to any better situation. if anything, they are in even closer cahoots with big business.

HumphreyCobbler · 15/04/2010 21:27

no, I honestly think he comes across badly

but am not an apologist for DC either tbh

CagedBird · 15/04/2010 21:27

some more points for clegg

Spidermama · 15/04/2010 21:27

DC has got wayyyyy too much slap on. He looks very foolish.

Bumperliouzzzzzz · 15/04/2010 21:27

Spidermama, this one is domestic affairs, maybe climate will be covered in one of the others.

Brollyflower · 15/04/2010 21:26

Yes APassionateLady DC is channelling the DM. Good point.

Sadly, how many voters are too ?

HumphreyCobbler · 15/04/2010 21:26

is he was that bright he wouldn't have buggered up the economy and pensions

lobsters · 15/04/2010 21:26

so civil servants have corporate credit cards, so do lots of people who have to pay a lot of expenses with work, not that unusual.

Economy answers - GB too big picture, DC too micro, NC have to say did stop listening, and either DC or NC got very shrill at one point there

Spidermama · 15/04/2010 21:26

Cameron is on the ropes.

EggyAllenPoe · 15/04/2010 21:26

i think GB looks abit of a lumbering dinosaur up there. Clegg and Cameron have been doing well.

bit annoyed by the 'bobbies on the beat' answer to the crime question. possibly the least efficient use of policing resource possible - a bobby on the beat catches a criminal once every ten years....

Jaquelinehyde · 15/04/2010 21:26

NEWSFLASH-- DC just frowned, so he can't have had botox

Bumperliouzzzzzz · 15/04/2010 21:26

Did you see that nod to the camera from DC?

Cartoose · 15/04/2010 21:26

Yeah, Cameron just nodded to someone in the front row

APassionateWoman · 15/04/2010 21:26

No, GB is much much more robust than the othe rtwo@Humphrey. Even if you don't support Labour, you have to concede.

jonicomelately · 15/04/2010 21:26

I think GB's worst enemy wouldn't argue he isn't very bright.

McDreamy · 15/04/2010 21:25
Wink
Jaquelinehyde · 15/04/2010 21:25

Clegg is boring me shiteless, always going on about the the other two, saying everything we want to hear when we all know they will never get into power, so we won't look at their mickey mouse budget that will finance all this!

Brollyflower · 15/04/2010 21:25

Go Nick! Yes we can melt the paperclips down, but it isn't the main point.

Oldest trick in the book = original Yes Minister episode

Spidermama · 15/04/2010 21:25

Nothing whatsoever on the environment yet.

No-one has mentioned investing in renewables and creating jobs in the process.

How I WISH Caroline Lucas was up there. She' wipe the floor with the lot of them I tell you!

wastwinsetandpearls · 15/04/2010 21:25

We have set up 15billion worth of savings, I have listed some of them. -- a bit weak of Clegg
