Be Excellent To Each Other

(a) Millibean is a tedious tedefest twathead

(b) what the fuck are these stupid questions? "Why does the Labour party demonise working class people who are higher rate tax payers"?! When the fuck has that happened? Or is this about Myleen Klass?

Took Ed a good while to reference bankers. Two minutes.

Bankers are cunts though.

Ed's not doing too badly, but Cameron, whilst a gigantic cuntbag, is a much better public speaker. Clearly Ed's parents should have spent more on his education.

Christ Kay is annoying - and interrupting Ed a lot more than she did Cameron. BIASED BIASNESS.

I think the answer to your question B is "Since politicians could be guaranteed to crowbar in a crowd pleasing reference out of context of whatever question is raised".

If I'm going to get the same answer to every question I may as well ask what his favorite type of off the shelf custard is.

Jesus, Burley is trying to turn this into This Morning now.

I would totally vote for custard.

Milliband is actually making an attempt to answer at least part of the question at times, but the questions are fucking ludicrous. David fucking milliband? Who gives a shit?

I think selection of custard as a ludicrous question choice was influenced by Eds delivery. I can't support him being prime minister if it means I have to hear his voice for the next five years.

Yeah quite. Of the few minutes I have seen it is tedious bullshit with questions from morons hosted by a sub par sex doll that has been in a factory fire

Stop talking to burley and talk to the camera and the crowd.

Also: remove hand from pocket.

As much as I don't respect Ed, I fucking hate Cameron so I want shot of him. If that means I have to think about custard every day for the next 5 years, I'm down with that.

Cameron's answer to the question "what do you most admire about Ed" was basically "he agreed with me"

Ed's answer was "he took a huge risk on going for equal marriage despite how much his party is full of cunts"

Eds doing well.

If she'd stop fucking interjecting, like the irritating dumbass she is, then maybe he wouldn't have to.

Man in bow tie asks milliband a question. I don't recall a man with a flatcap and whippet being called upon for Cameron.

BACON SANDWICH REFERENCE. TWICE. Bellend.

OOOOOH, Riles is asking questions! "Dean" apparently.

one too many buttons undone on his shirt, though, the filthy pervert.

I'm and very floaty voter, not seen anything to convince me of anything yet

She should have just said that Murdoch wants her to fuck him up, whilst asking Cameron questions about cereal and running her hands through his hair.

She was absurd. On a positive note, her being so obviously biased made Ed look good. I liked him there.

Now for Paxman. He was excellent on Cameron. I expect the same on Ed. Good journalist.

@ troops: I'm a liberal, but I have a Tory MP with a close run Labour challenger, so I'll be voting Labour. It wouldn't matter if the Labour leader was Alf Garnett.

@Curio - entirely 100% agree.

Good start with Paxo already. "yeah, we got it wrong". Brilliant. One of the most hated things about politicians is that they don't ever admit they were wrong - he totally took the sting out of that line of questioning.

Only party likely to take my seat from the Tories is UKIP. Combined with the fact that professionally and personally I'm not in a position where either labour or conservative would alter my life in any significant way, its hard to feel I have a horse in this race.

I'm a liberal too, it's a shame we don't have a party that represents us.

You know what though Riles, as a higher rate tax payer, it's the Tories who've taken the most cash off me, bizarrely, so fuck them.

Did they cut to smirking audience members during Cameron? Or to the audience at all?

Almost not at all, no. It was totally softly softly, quick question, long preprepared statement from Cameron.

Paxo's questions to Milliband are basically "when did you stop beating your wife?". He's also being a lot more aggressive and interrupty to Ed than he was to Dave.

I'd been arguing against child benefit for higher rate taxpayers when I was 21. Never thought I'd be affected by it, mind.

Audience questions I'd give it to milliband, paxman I'd give to Cameron so far.

It's the utter disingenuous inequality of it - they'll take shit off me because I'm a higher rate taxpayer, but higher rate tax payer pensioners get loads of cash. You can means test me but not my parents? WTF?

Yes, but only because Paxo is being far more of a cunt to Millipede than he was to Cameron.

What's really going to boil your piss is that they means tested child benefit, means tested DLA, but didn't means test Childs DLA.

Leukaemia gets you children's DLA...

True, but he is letting him, he is letting paxman interrupt him. Cameron was better at keeping going and shutting his questions down.

I hope you've spent it all on decent gin.

Balls, troops. Paxo is steamrollering Ed more than he did to Cameron. His questioning is also far more aggressive and cunty.

I'm ordering from a different section of my wine merchants' website these days.

Fucking brilliant answer just there - "are you voting for what I'm trying to do, or what papers say about my personality"

I don't disagree. I think paxman would have been the same with Cameron if he could, but his shoulders are too slopey and he's too good at dancing around a point. Ed doesn't have that "skill"

Oh that was a totally appalling sign off. Not knowing microphone was on (which will be said) my arse.

As in- Cameron can dodge but there are ways of phrasing the assault. You can smear Cameron with his friends and milliband with his brother, but paxman put them completely differently. And he knew it

"are you alright" Wtf?

That was mega cunty.



No no no no, that wasn't Cameron displaying skill, that was Paxo winding his neck in with Cameron but not with Ed.

I reckon Ed came out better overall across the hour. I doubt the papers will see it the same way.

As I said, paxman will claim he thought 'mic off'

Utter. Cunt.

I have more twitter followers than the labour ppc for Shipley. I don't think he'll be renting the majority philip Davies enjoys

So, to summarise. Cameron was asked ok stuff and allowed to get away with not answering, and milliband was asked utter shit and not allowed to answer.

I'd put it as a draw,

Yes

No, milliband gave good answers given how shitey the questions were.

MAIN MESSAGES FROM THE EVENING ACCORDING TO BURLEY - ED AND DAVID STILL HEALING THEIR RELATIONSHIP

What the fucking fuck, jesus.

Fuck me, I don't even like Milliband.

Not having seen it all but I think Ed came across well despite massively stupid and hostile questions and environment.

BBC say the microphones"picked up" the alright line.

The only good answers milliband gave were when he was admitting they were wrong, which is admirable, but not a good impression to give out...
