April 22nd TV Debate

823 replies

I'm going along to be in the audience this Thursday for the Sky News TV Debate - it's being filmed in the South West, although it seems we're not supposed to say exactly where for security reasons.

Would people like an official MN behind-the-scenes report afterwards?

Should I break the rules and heckle/cheer loudly at a strategic moment, and if so then when?

If I'm allowed to ask a question should I go "off-script" and ask about biscuits?

Is there anything else I should think about?

Liking the format this time - more free and more engaging.

Can't decide whether I fancy NC or whether his evil goat-eyes would put me off.

Getting a bit sick of this 'doing the right thing' business like.

What, you mean people who've worked for a pittance their whole lives and haven't managed to buy a massive hoose or save a small fortune?

Grace is FAB

Agree with DC that people should not be penalised for having savings by being forced to use them to pay for residential care.

NoahAndTheWhale · 22/04/2010 20:59

Well I did get married first and then had children but have rather buggered up on the money front. So probably not quite the right thing.

BosomsByTheSea · 22/04/2010 20:59

NO MORE ANECDOTES.

It annoys me when GB says "I think what so and so is saying". She was very clear in what she said.

FabIsGoingToGetFit · 22/04/2010 20:59

I agree MmeLindt.

deepdarkwood · 22/04/2010 20:59

Grace also has great skin for 84

SeaShellsOnTheSeaShore · 22/04/2010 20:59

Ok, the serious qu here...

DC. Botox yet or nay?! I think oh yes!

"step outside, posh boy!"

Ewe · 22/04/2010 20:59

Twitter is so fast! I can barely keep up.

Have some tories over though, shouldn't really be sitting here on my laptop!

Bumperliouzzzzzz · 22/04/2010 21:00

What about people working in minimum wages jobs who can't afford to save? What about people screwed over by their partners and left high and dry -they've not done 'the right thing?'

CagedBird · 22/04/2010 21:00

"It's just not right" that smile from GB was a little scary

teaandcakeplease · 22/04/2010 21:00

I fancy NC or whether his evil goat-eyes would put me off - LOL

FabIsGoingToGetFit · 22/04/2010 21:00

I wish, morningpaper ,

MmeLindt · 22/04/2010 21:00

Can we get Squirrel to ask Grace about her skin care routine?

rokersmum · 22/04/2010 21:00

agree fab the debate is being run much better this week making it much more interesting to listen to.

TheHeathenOfSuburbia · 22/04/2010 21:00

Ooh, nice defence on the winter fuel allowance...

BeenBeta · 22/04/2010 21:00

I liked that very clear statment from DC on pensions, bus passes, TV licence. He needs to do that more often on other issues.

DuelingFanjo · 22/04/2010 21:01

oh my god, Cameron is a Twat.

MsDav · 22/04/2010 21:01

Cameron looks like he's about to have a breakdown

MayorNaze · 22/04/2010 21:01

gosh they have an awful lot of water under those podiums.

how many ties of appropriate colour do you think they all own? and who do you think is responsible for their selection?

sfxmum · 22/04/2010 21:01

moderator much better that the shouty and excitable as last week

direct confrontation there I like it
