DJDonegal Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The unwieldy, seven-leader debate takes place tonight. Anyone planning to watch? I've got my hangover viewing sorted for tomorrow. There's no way I'm giving up one of the best drinking nights of the year to watch what can only be a train-wreck two hours of soundbite after soundbite.

Alex. Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The unwieldy, seven-leader debate takes place tonight. Anyone planning to watch? I've got my hangover viewing sorted for tomorrow. There's no way I'm giving up one of the best drinking nights of the year to watch what can only be a train-wreck two hours of soundbite after soundbite. Indeed. Imagine giving up Good Friday Eve to watch something which you can catch the highlights of tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anythingatall Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Is it just me being a Commie or has the BBC dropped all pretense of neutrality? How can they get away with running The Telegraph front page as headline news for an entire fucking day? And today there is a whole article about some Youtube video compilation of Camerons 'awesome' put downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereward Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 It's just you. I could flail away with a spiked club in the BBC Newsroom indefinitely without hitting a Tory voter.* Now, whether their attempts to be balanced and overcome their personal views causes them occasionally to veer too far in the opposite direction is something the BBC needs to keep an eye on. I think the business leader story is valid, as the polls show that concern about Miliband's attitude to business is one of the drivers for him being much more unpopular than his party. * I promise not to do this.

VarysTheSpider Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'll be combining drinking and watching. Playing the bullshit bingo drinking game should see me and my girlfriend quite smashed by the time the opening statements have finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VarysTheSpider Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Haha! How funny. Must be the season for strange dreams, as I recently dreamt a Green-Lib Dem coalition won the election. Must get out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm watching it for now; fucking hell Farage is a bellend. Every question he's trying to turn it round into 'blame the immigrants!'.Heh. Nicola Sturgeon called him out for it but she needed a bit more media training before this; she keeps looking down and around and anywhere but at the camera or the audience and it makes her look shifty as fuck. ETA: Oh my goodness Ed Miliband is awkward as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinDonner Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Also watching, though I'm not sure why, it's a quite excruciating soundbite-fest. But I agree with all of Polish's commentary so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddington Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Nicola Sturgeon is the one that is impressing me the most to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedles Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I think Nicola Sturgeon is speaking very well though. All I think when I see Farage is the Punch puppet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Nicola Sturgeon is the one that is impressing me the most to be honest. Yeah, apart from the eye-contact thing she's been pretty good, in part precisely because she's about the only one not trying to say everything in easily quotable manifesto bullet-points.Nigel Farage looks like a slug.

Werthead Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 There have been a couple of "I agree with Nic(ola)" moments which gave me deja vu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebble thats Stubby Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 wow. I just agreed with Nigel. but only on one part of what he just said. Lets have a brown field building revelation. (although we will still need to build on some green as well) edit - does Nick want sing a sorry duet with Ed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Northman Reborn Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Love Farage. The only one speaking from the gut, telling it like it is, rather than from some post-nation state vision for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebble thats Stubby Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I thought the SNP said they would vote to keep England tuition fees because if there where free for us then it would effect their budget resulting in less money fo scotland. has this changed?

MinDonner Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Wood is just so provincial. At least Sturgeon is trying hard to make her points more widely applicable than just what will directly affect funding for xyz in her own nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
