Screw you, polls.

O green world,
Don't desert me now,
Bring me back to fallen town
Where someone is still alive ..

Well, we just had the second leaders debate with Neck Clegg back on top form. This time round we saw less of the "I agree with Nick" that seemed to hang over the last one like a little plague, but we did see Cameron say "I agree with Gordon" which not even he expected. But yes, Nick Clegg was the best again, mostly because all the points he made were reinforced a second later by Cameron who seemed to unknowingly repeat them.

I like Gordon Brown. Sure, he sent the country a little tits up but for the amount of shit he must put up with everyday, along with his sort of lost dog persona, I do quite like him. In the last debate, he got the "best line winner" with his remark "you can't airbrush your policies like you do to your posters" to David Cameron. That was pure gold.

This week he takes it again, though I'm not quite sure with which one. His first one was something to the tune of "You two remind me of my little boys squabbling at bathtime" to the other two, which made me laugh, but I think the best one must have been, on the subject of Trident missiles I believe, simply "Nick. Get real". Just brilliant.
