I could have easily had a punch up with the pair behind us-well dressed chaps, well spoken, but they didn't realise that I'd heard them refer to me as "that Telegraph reading ar*ehole" ( I was reading it on my phone before the debate started)
I thought Nick Clegg wasn't very gentlemanly. He kept talking over the Tory woman & I loved the way that Farage kept telling him to "stop lying" about various facts and figures |
Farage vs Clegg was by far more interesting than the other two.
I was in the third tier and the audience there was left-wing too although I should you expect it for a Guardian debate. I don't really like heckling or audience members expressing their disapproval to each other in a very obvious way either. The audience was a bit more balanced at the top though and there was at least one guy who was shouting stuff all though.
You may have preferred The Spectator one in the same venue a few weeks later. It was already sold out by the time I saw it but that would have been a more right-wing audience. Clegg was there too as was Daniel Hannan who I used like but now sort of find him very intellectually dishonest.
