Question Time.

[nilrac52]

Once again Question Time does not disappoint. What a very informative programme and great to get the varying views of the parties. UKIP rep is just obnoxious but I am really impressed with both the SNP and Green reps. Any thoughts?

[Baldric]

You're gullible !

;o)

[nilrac52]

Thanks Baldric. Why? Do you think I am falling for the sweet talk. Are the policies they expound disingenuous?

I thought the ausie Lady spoke out of her rear end.

[baza]

swear filter, that Lady was not as I had typed.

[Baldric]

Don't know where you are, but the SNP would be a disaster if they became involved in the overall running of the UK, and however good the Greens Cloud Cuckoo Land sounds we simply couldn't afford to indulge them.

[nilrac52]

I seem to have got this all wrong!!! I actually loved the "Aussie lady" opinions and her overall policy.

[nilrac52]

This whole fear campaign against SNP confuses me. I think they are fantastic. Great policies and great leader. No I am NOT Scottish and sadly I cannot vote for them. But how I wish I could!!!

[nilrac52]

Why Svejk? In relation to what exactly?

[Baldric]

Really?

I am not having a laugh but I think I must be missing something and I don't mean my brain. Baldric - was Salmond not just trying to be funny? I cannot believe that the British people will opt for another crippling Tory regime along with Clegg who was quite happy to sell out ALL his policies just to get in government. Then again Milliband is not offering us much of an alternative.

salmond clip........... calm down boys, it was a joke :)

I have the greatest respect for John Swinney (SNP), he was an MP and is now an MSP. He abstained from voting on matters which directly affected England , as do other SNP MP's (same can't be said by other parties). He has integrity. I have met him on several occasions and he has been nothing other than a proper gentleman.

I thought he outshone the other panellists.Politics apart.

[nilrac52]

Sorry folks. Bedtime calling!! Any posts I miss I will follow up in the morning.

[Baldric]

///opt for another crippling Tory regime along with Clegg///

It was the liaison with Clegg and his mob that prevented the Tories doing their job properly!

[kylesmum]

We were 'Better Together' when it suited now we seem to be 'Better Apart' That's what you're dealing with..at least we're consistent in Scotland.

Why suddenly has the election become all about our small nation?

Maybe because we are honest, direct, speak the truth and don't waffle....oh and don't rely on spin doctors and low blows.Don't call us canny Scots for nothing.

[Hypognosis]

SNP policies include unilateral nuclear disarmament.

Putin wants his population to increase their birth rate. The last person to attempt this was called Hitler.

The threat of nuclear counterstrike is what keeps tank divisions off Europe's lawn.

"Do the math".

Footnote: As Nicola says, nukes are no use against terrorism. She is right about that but, inexplicably, forgets to make allowances for a major superpower, not that far away from us.

This is a "red line" for her so all their other "great" policies pale into insignificance, in my humble opinion.

[nilrac52]

Oh Baldric. I have to postpone my bedtime. Surely you don't mean that the austerities that we have all suffered were watered down because of the pact with Clegg. Clegg who is just an ineffective YES man who sold his soul to the Devil. Woops Freudian slip there - sold out to Cameron.

[Svejk]

I thought you lefty's were keeping a low profile today, what with Tower Hamlets an' all.
