A la Here’s Lenny, with the axe…
Danny Alexander
His party have always fought against cuts.
Feedback from grassroot supporters.
Michael Crick investigating.
Southwark, London – a Liberal Democrat flagship.
Julian Astle – Think tank, going to be political advisor for David Lawes prior to resignation.
Lib Dems, in government have much to answer for.
Have an identity crisis.
Have always campaigned against cuts.
Not responsible for implementing them.
Lib Dems and government declined to go on the programme.
Susan Kramer representing Lib Dems on the show.
Ed Miliband for the Labour Party on the show.
Yey! Ed Miliband mentioned Newham!
Comparing with Susan’s Borough of Richmond.
Amusing, a technique of having your point across, talk louder and more obstinantly! The Milibands do it with more decorum than say Ken Clarke.
Smiling with daggers.
President of IMF meeting President of Spain.
Spain’s defecit…
Civil and Social unrest over 5% pay cut.
Clegg speaking Spanish – impressive!
Carles Casajuana
Spanish Ambassador to the UK re-affirming that the visit by IMF President with Spanish president was NOT to discuss a bailout for the Spanish economy.
Argument: Spanish model has failed because no one wants to invest…
No one wants to invest in Spanish Banks, a lack of confidence.
Charles de Gaulle
One of the greatest speeches of the 20th Century.
Newsnight assessing the power of words today, compared to today’s 24hr news.
Still a mobilizing force?
Obama referenced: Yes We Can.
Cameron on Bloody Sunday referenced: It was wrong.
Amusing: Charles de Gaulle having a Facebook page, updating his status, probably wouldn’t have as much of an impact.
Anne McElvoy – guest on the show
Lincoln’s Gettysberg address?...
Cometh the hour, cometh the man…
De Gaulle – a master of the French language.
Blame media, soundbites, twitter…
Obama, Democratic Convention, Denver…
A great moment…
Author of Freakonomics on the show…
Hoping to play highlights of the England vs Algeria match.
But there weren’t any!
Statistically, kicking in towards the centre of goal for penalties is best.
FDR’s intervention on the Great Depression?…
FA complaining to Fifa that someone breached the England camp.
