7-Way Debate Tonight

Thanks for not shooting me down in flames.

I will explain. Some cancer drugs I believe are to be withdrawn as they are too expensive for the NHS, whilst we are paying for HIV treatment for people who have contributed nothing financially to this country. Of course anyone who has paid their taxes etc. should get free HIV treatment, no question.

With regard to your comment GrannyTwice about a Syrian with HIV, this is a tricky one, but I do feel the people who live and contribute in this country should take priority.

I am not against immigration, I just want the numbers to be reduced. We need foreign workers, especially in the NHS.

I am not a very political person and find it hard to sometimes state my case, but hope the above explains my attitudes.

Nan - a ( so as not to muddy the waters) Syrian refugee ( yes I know, we're hardly letting any in) enters the country legally and is then found to be HiV positive, what does the 6th richest country in the world ( ie us) do? So yes get behind the barricade with that odious excuse for a human being (NF)

Oh nan which people do you mean?

Now I'm am going to put the cat amongst the pigeons BIG time.

One or two of the things Nigel Farage said really resonated with me. Such as why should we pay for people's drug treatment when they have contributed nothing to the system ?

Shall I get behind the barricade now ?

Go women go!! Completely saw off the men. They were articulate, clear and offered an alternative view.

Eloethan I did not think that they were children squabbling in a playground. That was what I thought would happen before they started, they proved me wrong, especially the women.

I just think the Devil missed a chance to cast his net. !

I thought it was interesting to Eloethan. A great chance to see the UK parties rather than just the English parties and to see what the smaller parties have to offer if they were able to influence the larger ones.

I don't think the debate was like children squabbling in a playground. I thought it was a very interesting two hours.

Of course there were disagreements. If they all agreed with one another's policies they would all be in the same party wouldn't they.

The winner in my house was Coast Australia and Banished.

We did need a proper debate between the leaders of the two main parties , Cameron has been PM for five years and wants to be PM for the next five years , I think it's his duty to take part in a two way debate, instead he wriggled out of it, cowardly man

those squabbling kids will be making decisions about YOUR life and that of your loved ones soon, though ...

I may start to watch but I have to admit that an early bedtime and a good book are more inviting. I cannot be bothered listening to children squabbling in a playground.

7 way wrestling in custard I might watch but this is going to be staged sound bites....and lets face it they all promise to do this 'n that and then conveniently find a jolly good reason why it cannot be done.

....and yes I'm old and cynical!

I can't see what Cameron thought he had to lose from a proper debate, I think he looks a bigger fool from the way he's bent over backwards to avoid it. They should have just empty chaired him.

I don't think I'll bother watching, you won't catch anyone saying what taxes will go up, or which services will get cut.

What are you on about durhamjen, Cameron's one of the seven.

Not that sort of fun, Juliette!

Rude sign from bunny's ears.

It just seems like a recipe for disaster, a way of turning voters off completely, but I shall definitely watch it. Temporarily laid up post-op as I am, I have to get as much fun in my life as possible!

Cameron has such contempt for the voter that he cannot be bothered to debate.

I'm with mishap. I'd much rather read the manifestos. I think this sort of show risks turning voting into a sort of X factor. Whoever performs best on the night etc. I remember switching off the Scottish Referendum programmes because they just turned into shouting matches. Extremely offputting. I gather that the audiences lied about their political affiliations to get in then turned to their true colours when seated thus adding to the nasty gladiatorial bout. I'm watching my recording of "Ordinary Lies" instead- probably amounts to about the same thing!

Who cares?

I plan to miss this. They would simply be slagging one another off. I would rather just look at their manifestos.

Blimey Iam that is like wishing for the moon!

Oh no! We will be travelling tonight and will miss it! I am mortified! Not.
