But if DC found it so difficult to get Direct Payments (and he seemed to be saying this from an admin point of view), why does he think that he can run the country?

This thread is like a discussion at my family table with my 10 brothers and sisters

i am definitely watching a different debate
i think NC - nice enough, but not serious contender, and sounding quite sanctimonious
GB - a bit hopeless. i thought was quite rude at times as when the natural thing was to address a point made by NC, he blithely goes on about the relevant Tory policy - like he couldn't really be bothered to consider the Lib Dem as actual opposition
DC - don't think he looked uncomfortable at at all, performed as i thought he would.

Did they wheel Cameron out of Madame Tussauds's?

I agree (again) with morningpaper - kudos to GB for NOT mentioning his family in any way. Something the other two failed on.

LOL at Malcolm Tucker tweets.

wastwinsetandpearls · 15/04/2010 22:03

I agree with Brolly and MP.

FattipuffsandThinnifers · 15/04/2010 22:03

MN secret signal - it was you who mentioned it wasn't it?

Spidermama · 15/04/2010 22:03

Ready, Steady, Vote.

Do you think Gordo watches the X Factor?

Brollyflower · 15/04/2010 22:03

I agree with Morningpaper about GB rising above using his family.

TDiddy · 15/04/2010 22:03

I thought Clegg would end with "please call this number if you would like to donate something to help make a difference"

Tdiddy - as i say i can only speak from personal experience and whenever i've called them i have been less than impressed.

McDreamy · 15/04/2010 22:03

Clarissimo · 15/04/2010 22:02

LOL Mcdreamy I dont need anything saying to

AitchTwoZone · 15/04/2010 22:02

oh no gb does popular culture, i want to DIE.

MorocconOil · 15/04/2010 22:02

WTF was DC thinking about getting direct payments for? They are loaded!!!!!

PortBlacksandDweller · 15/04/2010 22:02

If you had lost your 6 yr old child less than a yearago - wouldn't you mention it? In general conversation or political debate??

Spidermama · 15/04/2010 22:02

Oh that was excrutiating. Clegg mentioning every single member of the audience who asked a question by name - SOOOOO staged. So obviously FAKE!

Sorry with that he just undid his entire performance.

Brollyflower · 15/04/2010 22:02

Fattipuffs what's what ?

I am so not cool

monkeysavingexpertdotcom · 15/04/2010 22:02

Hands up if you thought Alastair thing was going to ask the audience to hold up green peppers or red tomatoes then.

morningpaper · 15/04/2010 22:02

Kafka9: Are you a name-changer or a plant?

Bumperliouzzzzzz · 15/04/2010 22:02

Stop name checking the audience Nick, it's patronising.
