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?

guys and girls

bless

Natural gas anyone? Its cheap and plentiful and safe and comes on big ships from just about every place on the planet.

I think Cleggy looks tired not so much tense. Needs to pace himself, have a rest this weekend, still two weeks of late nights to go

THis chair is doing better than last week

Msdav, yup dh has just pointed that out too.

Gah, Murdoch

DC just nicked one of NCs factoids about nuclear and 2017.

grrrrrr

we don't have enough gas storage - we mainly store it by increasing the pressure in the pipes

but we don't often need it

why do I know all this crap? I need to stop living on talkboards

nick youre right.

oooooh Gappy DC, everyone drink

go Nick

Nick may have got the kids back today bless him

Clegg doesn't like Brown saying he is anti-American!

hadn't realised the answer to the climate crisis was lagging, it's so simple now!

My friend's house is being destroyed by vibrations from a wind farm, it's far more complicated than just being a NIMBY, like Gordon is alledging

this debate is duller than the last one, or i am more sober.

NC is doing well I reckon. Think it doesn't really matter what GB says, he looks like yesterday's man.

Think Clegg is doing well. GB also not too bad, but DC seems to be coming across even more slimily than normal IMO.

I vote for politicians to make make better use of VTCs and stop jetting off to conferences and summits.

On a stage setting note - tonight's show does look a little more like a serious political discussion rather than last week's game show.

NC does a good 'listening face' doesn't he?
Much more sense of debate this week

'little Britain abroad'.

clever.

Blah Gordon! stop with that odd jaw/mouth thing, it looks like he's got a gobstopper in there and he's trying to stop it falling out his mouth

The set looks a bit like a 1970's sports show

GB saying he is 'pushing the Americans on climate change' -how?? Does he really think he has that influence?

DC is more polished tonight.. is this a good or a bad thing?

Pope question! Tricky!

Glug, glug, glug Stop flashing those teeth DC, I'm gonna be on the floor!

ooer controversial
