wish someone would tell him about that God awful hair also it looks like he washes it about once a month.
:sleep:
He does look tired.. makes you wonder how well he will perform tomorrow.
Agreed, he's looking very rough. He looks like he needs an early night tonight.
Every time she is stood next to the gorgon, she looks unbelievably worried, eyes shifting from side to side, swaying from foot to foot, very very odd.
Yep she does look very uneasy.
I am glad though she hasnt taken the advice of the image makers.Her clothes are her own and hasnt allowed them to Tart herself up into something she isnt.
I really do admire her for that it takes a lot of guts when the Daily mail seems Obsessed with what the leaders wives are wearing..:yawn:
He looks done in.:eek:
I think these appearances are a cop out, Brown went to Asda or wherever, Cameron went to Warburtons, and they take questions, its a way of pretending they are spontaneously mixing with the public, when in fact they are long pre arranged situations with people in a work environment who cannot act like or say what they want.
Cameron did a 'public speech' yesterday, totally surrounded by Conservative activists.
Cameron has been doing his 'Cameron Direct' meeting for a couple of years. This has been good training for the debates as they do not involve Party hacks and is a direct engagement with the public.
The speech you are referring to was the manifesto launch and that is different to a public one.
Brown has had far less exposure to 'ordinary people' than Cameron.
No, the speech I was referring to was when he was complaining about the 3 labour MPs getting legal aid, to be fair it might have been on Monday.

It was in Loughborough. The only "market place" speech given by any of the leaders. He may have even used John Major's soapbox.
Yes, there were supporters in front of him. Any party is going to surround their leader with placards but it did look a very mixed crowd.
One of the biggest problems with this campaign is that the leader's schedules (especially the PMs) are kept secret for security reasons so nobody knows where they are going to be in advance so they cannot organise some "light hearted" protests.
We have had the Conservative Leaders in my town for the last two elections. They make a speech on the market place and is open to anyone who wants to listen.
I'm sure he is looking tired, it may have been the Economist on BBC News 24 to make him feel like that, saying that the banks will be asking for more money in a few weeks time!!!!
I completely agree. Let them allow anyone in and get a good grilling by the public and then we would see what they are really made of.
