Don't know if there's already a thread about it. It's at 8 on ITV. Will watch it but think it'll just be a lot of squabbling and point scoring tbh...

Fun to watch it with you lot tho! Smile

Ohh I do hate the using of first name thing. It is straight out of the media training textbook.

TSSDNCOP - I heart OliviaMumsnet - I'd vote for her!

The80sweregreat · 02/04/2015 20:34

Thank you. Is johnny any clearer?

I'm watching on BBC news and struggling to understand the graph at the bottom.

SwedishEdith · 02/04/2015 20:34

Clegg has nothing to lose here really, does he?

JustCallMeDory · 02/04/2015 20:34

Glen - I'm in.

outtolunchagain · 02/04/2015 20:34

This woman can't control the panel, where's Dimbleby when you need him!

Glad the greens are bringing up the entire self-employment scam but the point could have been made far better - epic fail. Most of the so-called 'jobs' that have been created under the coalition are nothing more than pyramid schemes (think Bettaware catalogues b-2-b selling and the like), and even the better ones are just nominally self-employed - no say on the part of the worker re hours, duties etc so actually yes employment contracts in all but name but with no employer liability re tax and NI etc. Going on about zero hours is all very well but really it's the self-employment contracts that are becoming a bigger problem because people on those contracts are far more vulnerable even than those on zero hours (and God knows the zero hours workers are vulnerable enough).

Did that answer jonny's question? Errr no!

handfulofcottonbuds · 02/04/2015 20:34

Ha - Johnny is too young to vote

Onto Terry...........

TSSDNCOP · 02/04/2015 20:34

Sweepstake time.

59 "Terry's" in the next 10 minutes.

MoreBeta · 02/04/2015 20:34

Anyone just bored with all the argument and talking over each other?

PowderMum · 02/04/2015 20:35

Onto the NHS then.....
Nigel - lets quit Europe and then we will have enough money to do EVERYTHING.

JustCallMeDory · 02/04/2015 20:35

Glad to see farageybargy looking not at all comfortable. Worm is loving him though Sad

SingSongSlummy · 02/04/2015 20:35

Ok glen... Any shots for hideous gesticulation? will get really drunk if so

glenthebattleostrich · 02/04/2015 20:35

We need a longer list Dory

Philoslothy · 02/04/2015 20:35

NHS question, time for Cameron to mention his son

JustCallMeDory · 02/04/2015 20:36

agree cruikshank

sassytheFIRST · 02/04/2015 20:36

Green woman can promise every home a unicorn shouting rainbows on the front lawn if elected. Cos it'll never happen. So of course she can sound more aspirational. As an aside, her voice and appearance aren't great, are they? Thankfully she hasn't dried up yet...

handfulofcottonbuds · 02/04/2015 20:36

damnit - where are the adverts? If this was X-Factor, there would have been 5 breaks by now Sad

The80sweregreat · 02/04/2015 20:36

59 shots, anyone would sound good after that..

TSSDNCOP · 02/04/2015 20:36

Good game Ostrich.

May need NHS myself at this rate.

glenthebattleostrich · 02/04/2015 20:36

Yep, hideous gesticulation included and add end austerity to the list and bedroom tax
