Funnily enough, I missed it. Something cropped up.
Anyway, just heard it. What a farce. Talking about the 'boat people', Nigel patiently explained the EU position, having just come from the EU meeting about it. Such was the silence I thought my radio had packed in.
Imagine my surprise when Norman Lamb bellowed, 'Let's have some compassion, for God's sake'. Almost crying now, 'These are people, sniff, human beings'. All to such thunderous applause I had to turn the radio down.
Whether Norman's contribution was a revelation to the audience I couldn't say but it pretty much set the tone for the whole programme. 3 panellists, Johnnie Dumbleby and the audience versus Nigel Farage. Thank God the BBC are on their way out.

I heard most of it on Saturday, Svejk, and will bear your version out. Nigel kept very calm (I was quite amazed!) and spoke facts and common sense. The reaction was as you described - under a very thin veneer of civilised debate (a few cracks showing). Apparently, Dave wishes to launch a pro-Eu campaign based on fear of, what is to most, the unknown state of independence. We need a lot of common sense to be spoken.

No-one's bothered to comment so it is either beneath their notice, as they are already firmly committed, or they can't be bothered. :)

Aww, thanks for answering, jourdain, and confirming what I said. Perhaps if I lied about the content I could harvest more answers. (maybe 40 or more)
Anyway, a well deserved best answer for you. ;o) X
