BBC Essex were live from the 100 bus yesterday morning. They started at Basildon and got off at their offices in New London Road. They were asking people about the debates shown on TV with the three party leaders.
I didn't see the debates, I missed the last one because I was at the Billericay Hustings, sponsored by CTB in Emanuel Church. That was interesting enough to qualify for a question, so here is what I said. It is a listen again of the whole of the breakfast show, my piece starts just after 02:23:00 (2 hours 23 minutes in). just after the traffic news. I'm not sure how long the clip will be there, and I haven't been able to capture it yet.
"Everyone has their 15 minutes of fame" (to mis-quote Andy Warhol). Well, if they do, I am due another 14:30. I'm also very aware of how little I manage of what I would like to have said - I'm not practised at dealing with the media One of the things I don't think about when preparing a sermon is a 30 second sound byte.
So what of the Hustings themselves?
As I said it was a good opportunity to meet your prospective MP and listen to what they say. You begin to find out who they are and what they believe. My summary of what I heard is here.
