bunch of nutters who deny climate change and homophobes.For Nick Clegg, if you "deny" manmade climate change, you are no better than a homophobe. You are a "nutter".
I also don't want to be a member of a United States of Europe. That probably makes me a nutter twice over - a fruit(cake) and nutter, maybe?
Nothing like insulting a big chunk of your electorate.
Afterwards, Sky News indulged itself in interviewing politicians who of course all boringly claimed their man had won. Kay Burley was in heaven, with all those people wanting to talk at us. For the rest of us, though, it was tediously predictable. Why do the media think this is good television? The only striking image from the spinning was to see just how much of a bully Chris Huhne is. He changes questions and talks over everyone. Even more unattractive than he was on Today. Hectoring is easy, Mr Huhne, but not attractive.
The spinners' line is that Brown is no PR smoothie, he is serious. But the striking truth is that Gordon Brown can't improvise. Gordon Brown is another Edward Heath, unimaginative, and ploddingly set in his ways.
Newsnight seemed excited to have assembled the same group of political spinners that Kay Burley had interviewed about an hour before. This is no more interesting when the interviewing is done by Emily Maitlis. Can't you do any better than that, so called leading political analysis programme?
As Richard North points out, there was nothing in the debate to ruffle the EU's feathers at all. Damn them, they can't even get their apostrophies right.
Some of the Lib Dems' actual policies are now starting to see the light of debate, providing a few facts for the many voters who seemed perfectly content to make up their mind without needing any. Overall, the debate confirmed that there is no coherent party which represents my views. I am excluded from the political consensus.
Nutter that I am, the three main parties can whistle for my vote.
