    Its all kinda of irrelevant - but this is good fun.

    Farage needs to learn that he can't be as shouty - even if politcos like me approve

    And Paul's out!

    Big shock!

    Paul?
    I'm simu-blogging the only thing worth watching on TV at the moment: Masterchef.

    The judges are last year's final three, including the lovely Ping. Could be a tough crowd.
    The winner who brought us this classic exchange:
    Ping: Oh sugar!
    John: What's wrong?
    Ping: I need sugar.

    Cameron on top of Miliband on the sun-worm, for whatever that's worth, and he has been for the last fifteen minutes.

    Cameron really should be winning the first round when its on the deficit

    He was attacked by everyone on all fronts and he clearly looked very stressed by the barrage.
    I didn't see stressed, particularly. At most he talked the same speed as Farage did the whole time.

    I think Cam will be happy so far.

    Main reason - Farage isn't dominating massively. Farage may win the post debate polls but he's not getting a knock-out.

    Cam is sweeping up all the Centre Right, responsible vote.

    Right now Cameron stands as the only pro-austerity candidate. He will do very well with the 45% of the country that think we need it.
    It's actually closer to 35% who think more cuts are necessary according to the last polls I saw.

    "Betfair seems to think Farage has knocked this out the park."

    I'm afraid they're right. No wonder Cameron was scared of him.

    The worm thinks he is getting more badly treated than TSE 's dock side hooker.

    No its outright only but £2 @ 185-1 is ok.
