OFFICIAL Debate #1 thread

[The Wikir Man]

Clegg: They closed the A&E in Burnley, so you have to go all the way to Blackburn, 25 miles away.

Uh, Blackburn is 9 miles from Burnley. Wonder how many other numbers he's randomly exaggerated which can't be so easily checked.

Same applies to all of them mind. It's awfully lightweight and smarmy all round.

It's 25 minutes from Burnley General to the Royal Hospital in Blackburn. Not sure whether he said minutes or miles, though.

Watched the first half hour and then kept an eye on it in the background so I could be off target but came across as:

Brown
Clegg
Cameron

in terms of competence.

Am I off the mark?

Question Time at 22:45 should be interesting with their analysis.

Ha ha, all rush to shake hands with the plebs.

Clegg
Brown
Cameron

I would say by the end.

One of the key things that we've learned tonight is that all three leaders are virile and have functioning testicles.

WHS.

Cameron went into the debate with the most to lose, and I think he proved that suggestion correct.

Clegg

Was my thoughts when I was watching attentively for the first half an hour but wasn't sure if Clegg kept it up throughout the debate.

And I loved that! So much more fire than US type debates.

Hmm, it sounded like miles, but I could be wrong. 25 minutes wouldn't be very dramatic though would it?

good point (pardon the pun)
