    It was nice to see her lost for words.

    that was my favourite bit. :D

    I can't stand that woman so it was good to see her in a situation where repeatedly spouting the party script, and the same old answers regardless of the question as she usually does, couldn't help her one little bit.

    I may be a little strange, but I find Yvette Cooper quite sexy.

    That is a LOT strange. Next you'll be saying Caroline Flint is easy on the eye!

    I thought Ian Hislop was the only person with anything sensible to say. I fear that if George gets his hands on the purse-strings we could be in a proper mess.

    Osbourne is a big worry as a chancellor, looks like a loose cannon to me :eek: I must say I wasn't impressed by Cooper, sexy :eek: talking head more like.
    The point about the IHT debate is that the 'all in it together' goes down the plughole when changes to this are brought into the equation.

    Totally agree about Osbourne - not impressed with him one little bit.

    Went down to the shop earlier and looked at the Newspaper stand - Cameron and his missus on the front of nearly every single paper :rolleyes:

    I think we're still headed for a Tory victory with most of the country not knowing what the hell they're voting in. We're all in this together, dontcha know. :rolleyes:

    Except for those who aren't, like millionaires and bankers!

    Yeah - I think now that Brown and Darling have emptied our pockets for us, all that remains is for Cameron and Osbourne to ask us to bend over... :rolleyes:

    Right! I mean seriously, who gives a cluck? What does it tell us? That Cameron is going to tighten the belt by curbing his missus' shopping budget????

    What you mean than the one Blair/Brown and Darling have us in at the moment. £175Bln to be repaid (OK Most of that will come back out as the economy recovers). £90Bln black hole is the budget. Why do they not try sorting out Northern Rock, RBS and LLoyds and get them sold on the open market. With the amount of shares the tax payer owes we could actually make a profit it they sorted out the business models.
