Yup, Hadrian's wall is nowhere near Scotland.

All of them? Why? Is Ed getting the chance to say anything or the chance to get his point across? Or is he getting lost in the crowd?

F. Says about middle management. Stop parking charges.

Sturgeon says. Not for private profit. it poses a risk to Scottish health service.

Bennet. says. Profit motive has no place in health care. Want free prescriptions etc.

Clegg. Says it needs hard cash. Can't listen to him !!!!!!

Plaid...Said Wales introduced the NHS. Think she meant Bevan. Wants more doctors.

Ed. What he's said in the manifesto. Money from tobacco companies.

Cameron. Oh here we go Ivan!!!!

Why do I get the impression this 7 way debate is a waste of time? This is thanks to Cameron and the broadcasters caving in to him. TGS had the right idea, we'd all be better off watching The Big Bang Theory. Sounds like it'd be more insightful.

I can see you're all busy watching the debate, so when it's finished, if someone could give me an idea of how Ed did, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

Unless you take that wavy line thing as the sole indicator, I think it's impossible to tell although, as someone has already observed, Nicola Sturgeon is coming over well.

Clegg is winning the brass neck award.

Farage is nasty nasty nasty.

ohsocynical · Post by **ohsocynical** » Thu 02 Apr, 2015 8:54 pm

Cameron on about 7 days a week to see a doctor. Oh and labour cut NHS funding to Wales

Farage says again. On about immigrants not getting health care

Bennet arguing against that.

Miliband saying about cancer lagging behind

Cam saying cancer treatment one of the best in Europe.

Sturgeon says Farage blames every thing on foreigners.

Plaid- sorry I've forgotten her name...Blames Labour for Wales lack of funds.

Ed attacking Cameron's broken promises.

Bennett blaming Cameron.

Farage now on about HIV immigrants coming here and getting treatment.

Plaid to give her credit told Farage he's disgraceful.

I have to say, the feared Plaid+Green+SNP vs Labour hasn't really happened yet. They have mostly been concentrating on Cameron & Clegg.

Bennett free social care to everyone over 65

Cam on about 7 days a week to see GP.

Ed said Cam promised it last time and didn't do it.

Glad that it hasn't (how much longer to go?). Not sure I like the fact that Sturgeon is coming over well, probably means more votes in Scotland for the SNP. I don't care if that makes me sound tribal.

Oh, super. Immigration next. I can't wait to hear Nigel Farage's views on this. Hitherto, he's been fairly silent on the subject.

@Ernst: David Cameron says that there are GP surgeries open 8am to 8pm seven-days a week "some of them even here in the North-West." Have you seen one? Because I haven't, in my part of leafy SW London since they closed down the Walk-In Centre at the Junction, shortly after it had opened. And I don't think it offered all those hours, anyway...

There's an audience reaction moving line (like a clap-ometer, only different) on the screen.

I think only floating voters in the audience have access to the gismo.
