He had a good pop at the cretinous Balls and made him look a prat (if that wasn't already blindingly obvious). Brown spent his whole time 'looking nonchalant' - creepily so - under the constant and (my view) effective Cameron barrage, never looking at Cameron except with the fixed and terrible rictus of a man meeting his nemesis. Difficult to judge Darling's reactions - has he had a Botox disaster or something? <BR/><BR/>What Cameron has learned to do is to set a pace and keep to it - a good debating move. On balance I thought he won that encounter pretty easily. But then it was pretty much an open goal.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to have seen Cable respond for the Lib Dems although tradition meant that the amateur Clegg had to do his best - with inevitable results.Unsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08307116169498533047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-80060651608826790552008-03-12T18:31:00.000+00:002008-03-12T18:31:00.000+00:004p on a pint - yeah right!In 30 years of budgets a...4p on a pint - yeah right!<BR/><BR/>In 30 years of budgets and drinking I have never seen the amount announced in the budget appear in the pub. Normally it is at least twice. In London the rise will be about 20p.<BR/><BR/>Never mind, all the Tories have to do is promise to cut the duty on booze, petrol and fags and the election is theirs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-80745424470786983342008-03-12T16:04:00.000+00:002008-03-12T16:04:00.000+00:00If he hadn't kept repeating "Mr Deputy Speaker" he...If he hadn't kept repeating "Mr Deputy Speaker" he would have finished half an hour earlier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-40474449476873473812008-03-12T13:01:00.000+00:002008-03-12T13:01:00.000+00:00What?What?dizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04250325010662356883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-18723221389364825312008-03-12T12:59:00.000+00:002008-03-12T12:59:00.000+00:00oh so cynical - guess that blows your Tom Watson t...oh so cynical - guess that blows your Tom Watson theory out of the water.tory boys never grow uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172736984147732661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-49891148849168709082008-03-12T12:49:00.000+00:002008-03-12T12:49:00.000+00:00Mogadon Man, red version.Mogadon Man, red version.Croydonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14670533609622717223noreply@blogger.com
