And I rewrote that bit twice because I’m drunk.

21.39

Right I’m off for the night.

Thank you for a very difficult 90 minutes. Very difficult. But don’t worry, we’ll be back next week for the final TV debate and we will be on THE BBC. As we paid for it, it has to be good, so you know it makes sense…

Final Twitter Update
@mrchrisaddison: “You can’t deport 900,000 people – you don’t know where they live.” That’s genuinely funny. #LeadersDebate
No bloody clue on Immigration – all failed #leadersdebate
Chobr Adam Boulton seems to have put on about 10 pounds during the course of the debate. #LeadersDebate

David Cameron’s mouth looks exactly like my cat’s arse. #leadersdebate

I actually got emotionally excited when I heard a plane for the first time yesterday. I was like. WHATS THAT SOUND?

Lets all use the train today.

‘I’ve been to Afganistan four times.’ Very good Dave. How many times have YOU been Scott?

Twelve times. And you know what. I LOVED IT.

Sorry my internet died there. nickcleggsfault#

20.24

There is a debate drinking game mulling around on the internet:

Cameron blamed something on bureaucracy. DRINK! #leadersdebate #debatedrinkinggame
Someone (anyone) said “let’s be honest”. DRINK! #leadersdebate #debatedrinkinggame

Any drinking games anyone. We need something to lighten the mood about fiscal monetary policy and how we all might die on Christmas day.

caitlinmoran- Is it the HD, or does Cameron look like he’s laid off the Botox, to “de-buttock” his face, this week?
RT @mrchrisaddison: Clegg plays anti-paedophile card as pro-European argument. That should confuse the Daily Mail. = EPIC! #LeadersDebate

The link between paedophilia and EU was certainly that I wasn’t expecting

THE TIMES IS ANALYSING THE DEBATE TOMORROW BLOW BY BLOW

Wow.

19.58

I will be updating you with some funky twitter feeds tonight, letting you know what witty people are thinking during debates itself.

Also I havent seen the set yet, but I hope it will be better than the Jasper Carrott Golden Balls embarrassment of last week.

19.54

GOD WHEN WILL THIS BOLLOCKS OF A BANTER SESSION END?

19.18

OH MY GOD.
Last week was the first debate on the television. How historical that was. It felt as if it was just last week.

Tonight Sky has been screaming that it is Britains FIRST HIGH-DEF TELEVISION DEBATE.

I would have loved it though if it was 3D. That would have made the debate rather interesting to read.

19.12

My prediction about the topics raised in the “foreign affairs” special tonight:

95% Afghanistan
2% Iraq
(3% America, EU, China, North Korea, Iran, Australia, Iceland, The Commonwealth)

18.52

My drinks of choice for tonight is Bulmers / Magners / Strongbow and others. Vision is also impartial in what it drinks.

18.50

Let us now take a helicopter shot of building where everyone is inside

18.48

Can we launch a missile for Bristol and kill all of the political commentators please?

18.46

Sorry that the times are a bit off for the mo. The blog thinks that we are reporting from france.

This is a volcano friendly blog.

18.44

Catch it on sky.com/news. Its more flashy than the flash man flashing.

18.42

There are so many epic pauses tonight when they talk from one person on one camera to another for interviews.
You’d think that they are MILLIONS MILES away. But no they are just above them, like 6 metres away.

This is so annoying.
Its just like when you are watching the Ten O’Clock News Live from Downing Street, then Huw Edwards says ‘Now let’s cross over to Downing Street’.
WHY… THEY ARE MILLLLLIMETRES AWAY.

18.39

Apparently Nick Clegg will be centre stage tonight, David Cameron on the left and Gordon Brown on the right. Why GB still in the left? Cos he can’t look out of his right eye.
#omgfacts

18.37

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL IN HIGH DEFINITION. EVERY BEAD OF SWEAT.

God. The sexy sexy channels can follow on with this new technology

18.33

Car adverts are bollocks. Just bollocks. Who makes this crap.

18.32

Stop The War Coalition is outside. I thought it was my neighbours having a wicked party

18.30

Let’s sum up the last 18 hours of Sky News rolling coverage of the up and coming election debate:
- Will Nick Clegg’s bubble burst? Maybe it will / Maybe it wont
- Will Gordon Brown appear more decisive? Maybe he will / Maybe he wont
- Will David Cameron have a better face this week? Maybe he will / Maybe he wont
- Is this a historic High Definition TV Debate that will revolutionise everything like nothing before only on Sky News? Yes.
- Are we filling up time? We are outside in the sun, looking at the water. Oh look there’s a dog. This a day that will revolutionise modern television like nothing before. Let us tell you our top headline. Yes we are live at the TV Election Debates? Here it is sunny… and in 4 hours time the debates will begin. Now let’s ask… Will Nick Clegg’s bubble burst?

18.20

LETS ALL SPONSOR A LION. SKY WILL MATCH OUR DONATION.

17.28

Tonight the debate will come from Bristol. I don’t think it will be a bit like Skins.

In fact if you ever meet someone young from Bristol do you ever ask them whether their life is like Skins?
I just can’t avoid asking.

17.18

Oh I thought of letting you know now…

You can watch the stream on the Sky News website, but it would most probably tell you that it is taking a long time to buffer, even on fast internet speeds.
Thus change the settings to media. You would lose a little bit of the quality, but it is Sky News.

17.16

I have just gone on to the Sky News website..
It’s all very exciting… they have a MASSIVE countdown clock and everything.
So much so that when it counts down to zero I am expecting Rupert Murdoch to explode or something.

TWO HOURS FIFTY MINUTES LEFT AND COUNTING…. *it screams*

alright. I’ll just have my tea thanks.

11.07

HELLO THERE
I am back, albeit after the worst hangover I have endured in recent months thanks to the last one, for the second York Vision debate LIVEBLOG. If you didn’t latch on to the last liveblog please don’t despair. We have a simple and straightforward ethic detailed here:

The whole point of this blog is to see whether the TV debates can ever really influence our votes as well as judge whether it can alter the way that state politics is communicated to the electorate. It is also a great excuse to get pissed and make fun of everything and everybody.

Now it won’t be on ITV this time. Oh don’t worry you don’t have to watch that ever again. This time we will be observing the blog on the Murdoch 24/7 aka. Sky News. You can find the stream here. I have also been informed though that you can also watch it on the BBC News Channel (through the BBC News Website), BBC World if still give a toss about British politics now that you are a migrant against your own will in Madrid (Volcano News Reference) and BBC Radio 4 (after Joe Grundy executes a sheep on The Archers).

Please be here prompt from around 7.45 as the thing starts from 20:00. BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG (if you only follow analogue clocks)
