How did the poll give " extremely heavy weighting to UKIP supporters." What complete and utter nonsense. Clegg and Farage debate the EU. Clegg the "party of in", Nigel clearly wanting out. In a few weeks we'll get the chance to see how impressed the country is with Clegg. We have the perfect opportunity, how many people are persuaded to vote for the "party of in" and Clegg's "facts". The election is about Europe, the election is even held under Cleggy's beloved voting system. How many MEP's will Clegg get and How many will Nigel get? History tells us that the more the country see of Clegg the less they like him. Clegg gets equal billing with Cameron and Brown and gets 3 debates to impress the country. I know the establishment tried to tell us how well Cleggy did, but what was the result of this increased exposure ? They lost seats. After 4 years of increased exposure in his establishment role of Deputy PM, what is the outcome? They keep losing deposits and even lost to the Elvis bus pass candidate. I guess the number of MEP's they get after Clegg's "party of in" waffle and debate with Nigel will show how popular his views on Europe are, and how impressed the ordinary voter was by his performance.I would suggest that yet again increased exposure for Clegg will result in a loss of MEP's

So Clegg won because you thought he did. Do you do that when saints play, after Sundays game did you think we won or lost. I thought the game was pretty even ,but we lost 3-2.Were you running around telling everyone that saints won because you like them more than spurs? Clegg lost, the bookies paid out on Nigel. Being a fan of facts I don't understand why you can't grasp that. Same with that Dan Hodges he declared a win for cleggy and claims the polls were wrong. FFS even the guardian reported clear win for Nigel.

He also misled the audience with his 7% nonsense. A research paper from the house of commons from Oct 2010 concluded that to judge the impact of EU rules you need to include "not only EU law, but directives, statutory instruments, other initiatives and agreements in trade, fishing and agriculture". The population of Romania and Bulgaria was 29 million in 2007, so Nigel was right about that point also. It is now 27 million, but 29 million Bulgarian and Romanian people have the right to work in England. One thing that has shocked me is the establishments response. The daily mail and torygraph are really going after Nigel today with blogger after blogger tries to rewrite what happened last night.

Let's get Nigel on the leaders debates for the General Election and their policies can be debated fully. This was about Europe , apart from the biased host trying to throw Nigel a curve ball around gay marriage.

I've lost count of the number of times one of the liblabcon politicians answers the question about low skill migrants taking jobs with a answer about welfare.Time and time again on question time, any questions or other political shows, they bang on about welfare claimants when the issue is migrants taking low skilled jobs and deflating wages. Thank god last night Nigel nailed clegg on this and made him look shifty. Cleggy kept digging answering about welfare, instead of addressing the fundamental fact that the EU dictates our immigration policy when it comes to other EU members. Why do liblabcon politicians try to make out they have some say or are somehow in control of it. Clegg was trying to twist words and the whole audience knew it.

What factual debate was there from Clegg? The "fact" that 3 million jobs would be lost if we left? The "fact" that murderers and paedos wouldn't be sent back to the UK The "fact" that UK citizens would be sent home. The "fact" that companies would close down and move abroad or not come at all. The "fact" that only 7% of laws come from the EU? There were no facts, just opinions, twisting of certain statistics and as Clegg said himself "small print". The best thing about it is the establishment and anti Farage people trying to twist one "fact". The fact that in the publicly accepted measure Farage won. The bookies are paying out on a Nigel win. Yet Bilko Robinson on the BBC , the Torygraph, and other assorted experts are trying to claim otherwise. What is it about the public and their opinions that they dislike so much. Personally I thought it was pretty even, but the polls had Farage as the clear winner. Perhaps the great unwashed saw through Cleggs "facts". Perhaps the great unwashed won't be fooled again by Clegg.

But there are no "facts" it is subjective. You can't prove one way or anther whether 3 million jobs will be lost, just as the Scot nats can't prove that no jobs will be lost by independence. What Nigel can point to is Clegg and co, along with big business claiming not being in the eurozone would cost us jobs. They were wrong then and in my opinion they are wrong now. But nobody can say either way for sure. Trying to scare people by claiming the jobs that are reliant on European trade will all disappear is deeply misleading. Germany trade with the Swiss, the Russians, the Americans, to imply they will cease to buy our goods and services becasue we're not in a union with them is just trying to frighten people .

He gave a clear answer to that. Europe will still trade with us , and as someone pointed out Ford have closed down plants anyway, and we're in the EU. The pro EU nuts like to claim all the jobs will go and all the Brits will be sent home, its nonsense and Nigel got that over.

Although the ECHR is seperate from the EU, you can not be a member of the EU unless you sign up to it. The Lisbon treaty established that. Clegg trying to claim the 6/6 bomber and peado's wouldn't have been brought to justice with out the EU was completely misleading, luckily Nigel brought up Interpol and extradition treaties prior to membership. Personally I thought the "ref" went easy on clegg, but in any drawn match each sides supporters blame the ref.

Initial polls give it to Nigel. Personally I think anti EU people will go with farage and pro with clegg. Don't think it would have changed minds. Thought clegg looked slippery when he kept bringing up benefits when the debate was clearly about jobs, and also the 7% was laughable (Farage at his best with his shake of the head and "dear oh dear, what are you on") I suspect the Westminster bubble will give it to clegg as he looked more polished, but Nigel will have nicked it with the wider public. Even Mrs duck a labour supporting NHS worker thought he seemed a " decent bloke". I was worried Nigel would screw up, the fact he didn't and wouldn't have scared the horses is a win for me.

Lol, the bloke abused was "one of the most passionate I've ever seen". He must be off the Richter scale of fan hood. The bestest of the best.

Which teams did people think we'd finish above? Man c Man U Chelsea Arsenal I presume everybody had us below them. That leaves spurs,Everton, Liverpool and Newcastle. We will still finish above Newcastle imo. Leaving Liverpool, Everton and spurs. Liverpool are the most improved team of the season and could win the league. Everton and spurs have been top 5/6 for the past few years. Therefore surely 8th would be pretty much the best anyone apart from the deluded amongst us could hope for. Is 9th really so bad bearing that in mind?

I'm writing into sky about soccer Saturdays treatment of Andre mariner. The ex players were laughing at him sending off the wrong player. It was disrespectful.

****ing hell, what's the matter with some of our supporters? Haven't you got better things to do than complain about an ex player giving his opinion that one of our players should sign for one of the worlds biggest clubs. If someone said danny ings should sign for us on the football league show , would you write in and complain about that?

I haven't seen any posts saying it was "totally" his fault. I've seen a few saying he gave the ball away and then a free kick that wasn't defended correctly.

Don't talk nonsense man. MP is Argentinian and he hardly plays him. There's a reason for that you know, and its not that JWP , Cork or SD are world class players.

He gave the ball away with a causal touch in the centre of the pitch and then gave away the free kick. The free kick was dealt with poorly by a combination of fonte and lovren and personally I thought AB could have come and claimed it. The thing with Gaston is he keeps doing it, keeps giving the ball away, flatters to deceive time after time .

Sunderland all over again, the home supporters were on their back and they were gone just like stadium of light. Clyne made basic error, lovren unbelievably poor,Lambert might as well have gone home at half time. Yet again Gaston too causal in the last minutes gives the ball away gives and a free kick . long ball, could the keeper have gone and got it?

Wasn't really keen on dogs despite growing up with them and mum and dad always had them. Fast forward to my little girl persuading me to get one a couple of years ago , and I've turned soft. The thing about them is they give you unconditional love, ours is so happy and pleased to see us he melts your heart. Im the only one who walks him, twice a day no matter what and a couple of trips a week to different dog friendly ale houses. He's a great pub dog. I dread to think how I'll feel when he's gone, we've had him from a puppy. The daft twt eat a sock a few months back and needed major sugery, mrs duck and the kids were in a right state worrying about him. I was in a right state when I saw the bill £1300, luckily the insurance coughed up, but you know what, I would pay for anything he needed and I never thought I'd get like that.

Im sure I remember listening to Bradford details on the way home from The Dell. Hillsborough I was working abroad with a load of scousers , so wasn't particularly pleasant when news came through. One lad lost a mate and if I remember a couple of others had family there, but were ok. We had a big fund raising weekend and all the expats dug very deep, including mancs. I was forced to sing ynwal in a Liverpool top and my mate sang owts in my drapper tools saints top. I think more went into the kitty to make us stop, than to hear us sing. I know the band that agreed to play for free were getting ****ed off with my roger dalwtry swinging of the mike.

I like the system, but I think its one that needs to be worked on preseason. I would think chambers could easily play right side centre half in that system.

You can't just change decisions because players "confess" , otherwise every time we get a red card all the players will be surrounding the ref shouting " it was Jos".

I hope you're joking. How much are these world class players going to cost, how much are we going to have to pay them to come to a non champions league club and what happens if clubs above us also add 2 world class players to their squads?

The "not enough notice" guff doesn't wash when labour are still floundering around trying to get their narrative right in response to the budget. On Daily Politics today the shadow chief secretary to the treasury Chris Leslie couldn't answer Wiggy Neil or jo Cols simple questions. One was " what specific measure do you disaprove of" and then it git even more pathetic when asked "what specific measure do you approve of". Quite frankly 24 hours after the budget and a shadow treasury spokesman is still throwing around class warfare is depressing in the extreme. Talk about ****ing playground politics, they're even starting to make the lib/dems look grown up. Pathetic, worst level of debate I've seen in 30 years of watching politics. Fair enough , the day of the budget includes some knockabout stuff (although ed way overdid it) but the next day should be serious forensic analysis on the measures and the effects they'll have on people. They've seriously misjudged their response imo.

But all the others have managed to present some arguments against the budget proposals. Being a bit of a geek I've watched or listened to well over 20 of them and Red Ed's response was by far and away the worst I've ever seen.Dan Hodges claims that had Kinnock's or Blair's aides given them that speech or advised that speech, they'd have been sacked in an instant.
