rofl at Mr B coming over all Russell Crowe in Gladiator crossed with someone hosting the National Lottery

Sparkles07 · 03/05/2010 20:35

Thank you Gordon, you've got my vote!!

BigHairyLeggedSpider · 03/05/2010 20:35

Thanks, I enjoyed that. I thought that his answers were good, if not necessarily what I agree with, and so much better than last time so thank you Mr Brown and good luck.

Disappointed at the discourteous posters though.

Is watching justabouttovotetory changing her nickname.

(I'm so dead when she sees this)

Hard for him though Greeny. So many people, so many questions - a difficult balance, and he needed to do the normal stuff too, otherwise he'd be damned for being dry or something.

Thanks for coming in. GOOD LUCK!

TeaOneSugar · 03/05/2010 20:35

Good luck Gordon, my fingers are crossed.

He answered lots more questions than Micheal Gove and dealt with the two toughest imo, the deficit and Afghanistan.

3cutedarlings · 03/05/2010 20:35

Totally agree Greeny v v disappointed tbh....

BecauseIAgreeWithGordon · 03/05/2010 20:35

I know, but as the other poster stated - he is picking fluffy questions and not serious ones

nevertrustthetorys · 03/05/2010 20:36

Argghh no politican ever whats to answer about private housing.

MollieO · 03/05/2010 20:36

I think from this webchat and his speech earlier GB has had a good day. Still haven't a clue who to vote for though (other than definitely not DC).

JackiePaper · 03/05/2010 20:36

Good Luck for Thursday Gordon. You have my vote.

hunkermunker · 03/05/2010 20:36

Best of luck on Thursday, Gordon.

mumutd · 03/05/2010 20:36

hunkermunker I'm currently undertaking a LLL bf'ing peer support workers course and I would dearly love to be able to go into the post natal wards to offer support in those early mooments, and hopefully backing it up with regular support once they are home.

southlundon · 03/05/2010 20:36

GB has definitely made my mind up. I live in the safest Tory seat in the UK and I shall be voting Labour.

FrameyMcFrame · 03/05/2010 20:36

oh he didn't answer my question on civil partnerships.

Never mind, good luck Gordon and well done for answering so many questions

TheCappster · 03/05/2010 20:37

'Tis true, Greensleeves. Though to be fair I can't see funding for SN provision increasing under the Tories

Did you read news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/10088172.stm? I really fear the choices Cameron would leave parents of SN with.

Jux · 03/05/2010 20:37

Ah well, there was nothing new there. The politicos who come on here only answer questions to which the answers are already commong knowledge, really. This stuff has been in the public domain for a while; I heard most of it in the 3 debates.

I think questions which are of less common interest should be picked, such as Bumpers' on the gold.

MadameDefarge · 03/05/2010 20:37

Well, to be fair, we know that Gordon does not actually read them as they come up, so I think that the reposting issue is moot in these circs (that's to whoever decided to be MN webchat police tonight). Whoever filters for him might not actually make filtering decisions that make us all happy. I refer you to previous filtering debacles on MN concerning Mr Brown....

Still sad my question about VAT and small business not addressed, seems like a pretty easy one to deal with, and concerns lots of folk. but there ya go.

mumutd · 03/05/2010 20:37

Thank you for your time, good luck for Thursday and you can count on my vote
