Probably not their fault, though, as a lot of those who came in under the aegis of being LibDem supporters were clearly ex-supporters. They're all too thick to let their party continue existing, apparently.David Preisernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-3470331517366388042015-05-01T09:53:04.719+01:002015-05-01T09:53:04.719+01:00The QT audience last night was a revelation.

All is forgiven (almost). He lost his temper and yelled at a member of the audience. And then destroyed by three consecutive questioners based on real details and points rather than the emotional, ethereal concepts Cameron's critics were throwing at him. Game over. No way does he come out well in the polls over the weekend. I can almost hear the wailing and lamenting of Beeboids wafting across the Atlantic.<br /><br />Clegg was a dead man walking. He knew it, they knew it. It was uncomfortable.<br /><br />I can't remember being so entertained by a sentient QT audience. Except for the morons who were deluded about spending and benefits and claimed people have died because disability benefits are means-tested, of course. There was one episode in East Anglia, maybe. I still want to know the makeup of that 25% who were undecided or "weresupportingotherparties," Dimbleby practically muttered under his breath, so careful was he not to emphasize that bit. I think they scattered everyone around so there were no blocs like in game shows, so I can't tell who was who. But it sure sounded like there were more conservative or at least moderate rather than neo-Marxists up north there than I have been led to believe by the BBC.<br /><br />PS: The sound has been skipping and making digital artifact noises during a couple of Clegg's answers. Nothing important or coherent lost, though, from what I could tell.David Preisernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-74602194143242202102015-05-01T01:22:27.093+01:002015-05-01T01:22:27.093+01:00What a difference a week and a Farage comment make...What a difference a week and a Farage comment make. <br /><br />The BBC top brass must have been all over these progs and the Comres people and I suspect the Comres decided they better do their job properly. <br />Because these were like no other BBC audience ever seen before. <br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-45090316565444450492015-05-01T00:35:41.136+01:002015-05-01T00:35:41.136+01:00The fairness of it all was astounding.

Now, if they could get it right tonight...<br />It would be interesting to know why they decided to do things properly - fear of reprisals if, despite their best efforts, Cameron is elected, or perhaps somebody has been muttering about a judicial review.<br />JeremyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
