DC looks REALLY nervous as he hears Dimbleby repeat the question to DD.
DD: I've seen three children through their teenage years and I know the fears of parents worrying about drugs; My policy views on drugs are on the record; This contest must be decided on policy - not media witchunts.
DD (in response to Dimbleby prodding on policy positions): I'm not going to say anymore. My policy views are already clear and on the record. [Editor: They're tough including anti cannabis].
DC: We don't want machines going into politics - politics needs real people; We need better drugs education and more treatment programmes; On Home Affairs Cttee I supported downgrading of ectasy and still do.
DD: All drugs destroy lives. I would not downgrade any drugs.
Member of audience criticises DC for "waffling" and DC responds: British people don't want policy conclusions now.
DD: You have been compared to Tony Blair; After three terms of Blairite failure; This is absolutely the worst time to imitate Tony Blair; People don't want big words - they want to know what exactly we'll do.
DC: I have, in education policy, set out clear policies but we must not set out other policies that will make us look ridiculous in five years' time.
Editor's note: Clear win for DD. If only DD had spent more time exposing Cameron on drugs POLICY throughout this contest.
