Anyone wanna play "cut" bingo?

I'm prepared to play the drinking game - I'll take a shot every time I hear "hard working families".
I may have to go to hospital before the show end though.

Interesting that when I watched the 1st debate it was about 20 mins in before anyone applauded. This lot are clapping away like there's a prompter behind the scenes. Is it just BBC audiences that are primed perhaps?

In previous debates the audience weren't supposed to clap any of the different leaders during the debates, not sure if this is still the case.

I'd probably be dead

Bennett is doing better than usual - I don't agree with what she is saying, but at least she isn't taking a total arse of it, for a change.

Didn't know that.

Natalie Bennett - Christ, she's so annoying.
Listening to her on Jeremy Vine earlier in the week - she really has not got a clue.

Miliband is doing OK.

Really? According to the BBC the "Sturgeon missile continues to strike: "Miliband is Tory-lite". Ed looks pained, he's agonising here"...

Scotland doesn't have an immigration issue thus clearly not a housing issue.

South East England does and has a housing shortage.

Go on Nige.

[greygoose]

Attacking the audience is a strange tactic by Nigel, sometimes it seems that he likes people to be booing him, perhaps a career in pantomime beckons (insert your own EU Parliament reference here)?

Nige = fked.

Oh yes. That didnt go well.

[HaplessBoyLard]

That's right Nigel. Insult the people you're trying to convince to vote for you.

He's right though - the people he's appealing to (for whatever reason) aren't in that room.

[GG89]

He's right. BBC left audience bias is clear for all to see.

[Northern Munkee]

I think I'm going puke. And not just because I'm imagining the five of them naked.

I suspect he didn't lose many votes from that audience.

I doubt Farage cares about a BBC audience!!!

True. I forgot what channel I was watching.

He's going for broke.
