i was just about to do a thread on this, dire, just dire.

Dumbed down debate, unnecessary over the top clapping, populists ****e from the panellists, especially Saira Khan.

The 'peoples panellist' kid from UKIP is pretty embarassing.

I agree, the Khan woman is a complete idiot spouting populist soundbites. The competition winner clearly hasn't researched properly either.

Alexander and Duncan Smith have been OK though.

I agree. The competition winner was naive, loud, and inarticulate.

Bring on This Week.

Saira Khan was dreadful, she'd get a hint of the mood in the audience and spout lots of populist crap along the lines of 'no blood for oil' . Good on IDS and alexander for not patronising the crap out of every young person in the audience.

I was wearing a black shirt. Looking back at it i really don't know why i had a screw face on, but it was the lights and that face i made at the end of my speech. I just said that If America and Britian intervene in middle eastern affairs they are only going to make the problem worse, just look at Iraq for example where they are basically destroyed it. Then i got claps which was good

Why the hell did they choose a UKIP supporter for christs sake. You could just tell he was dying to get his teeth into membership of the EU.

Yeah. He also seemed a bit too keen to pander to the masses - it would've been nice to have had an erudite and exemplary young guy on there rather than someone who hadn't made the effort and just didn't really seem very clued up in general.

It was awful, the student panelist hadn't done his research at all (he must have known that Heathcliffe question was coming up) and Khan was just going for the audience soundbites. IDS was the best panellist there in my opinion. What an awful show though.

Was I the only one thinking I could do a better job?
