I had made up my mind that I wasn't going to watch The Leader's Debate as it was announced with some fanfare a few months ago. The notion of a ""British TV First" seemed important to various mainstream media organisations and thus of little importance to me.
However, curiosity got the better of me and I persuaded my children to let me have a peek about eight minutes into the "show", for that what it was. I should point out, that the only time our children are allowed to use swear words without being told off, is when a politician comes on the telly. Though not encouraged to use such phrases as "duplicitous cunt" or "fuck off, shithead", I will not deny that a certain feeling of pride wells up when my daughter uses such phrases.
Anyhow, I digress. I managed to catch ten seconds of Gordon Brown sounding like an angry old guard dog before switching back to what my children were watching before. DIY SOS is more suitable viewing for your eyes and ears.
Nick Clegg was pronounced the winner of the debate by the Guardian and the other paper I bothered to check. Quite how Clegg could fail to beat a psychotic bulldog and a deluded poodle seemed to elude those same papers. He did and that's what they think is important, so it must be....Therefore I must be some sort of deviant for thinking the opposite.
