If you missed the BBC General Election TV debate, don’t worry.
David Cameron and Nick Clegg didn’t even bother turning up either.
Basically Farage kicked off about immigration, then turned on the audience, Miliband gave the most erotic look imaginable and the women of The Green Party, SNP and Plaid Cymru won the day. Again.
Anyway, for the benefit of Cameron, Clegg and you lovely lot, JOE has distilled the one-and-a-half-hour debate marathon down into some pithy tweets.
Don’t mention it!
Twitter imagined Cameron and Clegg snuggling up on the sofa to watch the action…

But actually Clegg was in the pub getting lagered up…

Everyone was wondering where Davey was. Not even a tweet to let us know…

With not a peep from the PM, Twitter tried its best to explain his absence from the TV debates…

Meanwhile, at BBC TV HQ the debates were hotting up. Literally. Miliband looked very aroused…

Nigel Farage made himself even more popular with the studio audience…
The tactic didn’t appear to win hearts and minds on Twitter…
Give Nigel the pearl handled service revolver now someone..

At least he didn’t do his malfunctioning Crazy Frog routine again…
Green Party leader Natalie Bennett certainly wasn’t mincing her words here… full-on b*llocking Ed Miliband…
But he goes all hardman Ed-the-ball as the debate came to a close and ‘offered Cameron out’ man to man…
