April 22nd TV Debate

[squirrel42]

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?

NC doing very well on this one. Seems to have woken up.

X posted with Fab.

am i allowed to say that gordon brown is actually coming across really well, and playing the "you two are pretenders, i'm doing the job and am the only one who knows what's what" card surprisingly well

NC's tie is from M&S - apparently they went in there and bought 20. maybe not all for him...

GB is def playing the older statesman.

Maybe I'm being unfair. He's not my favourite politician. I just feel like every time he's interviewed or takes part in debates I'm waiting for the mention of Ivan. Maybe I'm being totally partisan but not sure that GB has done the same to the same extent when there might be a chance for him to talk about his bereavement. Anyway, if I'm being unfair and upsetting anyone then that's not my intention. I just find that I'm waiting for him to mention this every time I see or hear him.

And I do still think he's an arse. But not on the basis of this.

I am less sure of who to vote for now.

Doe anyone else thingk that a lot of money would be freed by binning ID cards and wonder why no-one is thinking this.

sorry - double posted. even more

GB doing so much better than last week, NC doing well too but DC doing as badly if not worse than last week.

meg no i agree with you i think hes coming accross well too - all worldly wise.

Jack Bauer, that is LD policy, tory too i believe

jB - thats a Lib Dem policy.

" am i allowed to say that gordon brown is actually coming across really well, and playing the "you two are pretenders, i'm doing the job and am the only one who knows what's what" card surprisingly well "

I think so too.. and I started watching this being very pro-NC, anti-'the old parties'

I see, CagedBird - I'm kind of 2/3 listening in between bf dd and dozing off....

I love how NC has cut GB off a couple of times.

I am for ID cards. Works for the Germans/French/Swiss ...

David Cameron is doing a lot better isn't he?

Nick Clegg is still being 'edgy' I can see he's not been reading my posts - I would like a bit more gravitas next time (I'm sure Sheila, John and Charlotte would agree with me there).

I think there is something sort of innocent about Gordon Brown - that's the wrong word but I can't think of another.

"Border controls on the M5" . Good line.

why is DC mixing asylum and immigration?

GB is pandering now

apub IU agree he's an arse and no, I don't think GB does it the smae way

jackbauer Gree have included budgets in their manifesto that spend the money saved by axeing ID cards IIRC

JB - only labour want id cards, the others would all bin them

GB now wants to "do the right thing"

Does anyone know what time the debate finishes? (As I need to wee )
