Clegg makes no attempt to undermine neo-conservative permanent war narrative. Just banging on about need to be well equipped to fight permanent war.

Clegg weak on Afghanistan. Nothing on corruption of Karzai governemt, drug smuggling, etc.

Sky chose very pointed worded question about invading other countries to “protect ourselves”.

Gordon coming in with prepared line on “Man against boys” theme.
Foreign Policy Debate chat #18
Gordon right about Tory extreme right wing alliances – but not well put in debating terms. Then Clegg comes in and hammers it.

Bit too vicious Nick. It may be true the Tories voted against cooperative powers that led to break-up of paedophile ring, but very emotive debating.

Sky lead on Europe to give Cameron his big populist boost at the start. What a shock. Cameron banging on about referendum. A Tory government has never held a referendum on anything.

Europe – Clegg better than Cameron, Brown very good. Both take on Europhobia head on, brave.
Foreign Policy Debate chat #14
Sky typically start with anti-EU question. Cameron “bring powers back from Europe.” He hasn’t ever voted against any of the treaties.

Nick Clegg – fantastic start. No complicity in torture. No war in Iraq. Legality and human rights. Sounds like me.

Cameron staring manically into camera, going for world fast-blinking record
Foreign Policy Debate chat #11
Gordon – Brave troops, terrorism blah blah resolute.

Leaders are in a building paid for with profits of slavery. Very appropriate.

Haward’s foreign policy suggestion. Deport all BNP supporters to the Falklands, replace them with hard working immigrants.

Advert for transit on now. Tribute to Brown? Sic transit gloria mundi.

They could put a nuclear weapon on that police rubber dinghy. That would be a cheaper option.
Foreign Policy Debate chat #5
ludicrous police patrolmen searching for Islamic frogmen in shot now. Maybe Buster Crabbe is about to make a comeback.

random political party people with very large noses now, and too much makeup foundation. Who they?
