...so the list will do ;) I watched the last "leaders debate" and I think I pretty much shared the opinions of the focus group who were giving their minute-by-minute reactions (broadly speaking Clegg came out best, followed by Brown with Cameron a dismal third). Imagine my surprise to find all the commentators in the press seem to be giving the debate to Cameron.
Now I admit I don't like the guy - to me he comes across as slimy, unctuous and a hypocrite, Uriah Heep comes to mind.- but I don't think he actually answered a single question, whether from the audience, the reminders from Dimbleby or the direct & indrect questions from the other two. In fact there were times when his naked avoidance of a question was quite shameful, papably dishonest even. How could he have "won"? Is it just that the the British are conforming to their evident history over the past 30 years or so where it seems dishonesty at the top is quite acceptable? Damian - now where's that application form for French nationality ;) _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
