Nick Clegg is a two faced hypocritical bastard

Writing in the Guardian last year Nick Clegg gave a forceful condemnation of the blockade of Gaza and attacked Brown for inaction. He said

Brown must stop sitting on his hands. He must condemn unambiguously Israel's tactics, just as he has rightly condemned Hamas's rocket attacks. Then he must lead the EU into using its economic and diplomatic leverage in the region to broker peace. The EU is by far Israel's biggest export market, and by far the biggest donor to the Palestinians. It must immediately suspend the proposed new cooperation agreement with Israel until things change in Gaza, and apply tough conditions on any long-term assistance to the Palestinian community.

Brown must also halt Britain's arms exports to Israel, and persuade our EU counterparts to do the same. The government's own figures show Britain is selling more and more weapons to Israel, despite the questions about the country's use of force. In 2007, our government approved £6m of arms exports. In 2008, it licensed sales 12 times as fast: £20m in the first three months alone.

There is a strong case that, given the Gaza conflict, any military exports contravene EU licensing criteria. Reports, though denied, that Israel is using illegal cluster munitions and white phosphorus should heighten our caution. I want an immediate suspension of all arms exports from the EU, but if that cannot be secured, Brown must act unilaterally.

Appearing on the Breakfast show this morning Clegg called for an end to the blockade and droned on about Israel's interests blah blah. I listened patiently.

Immediately halt arms exports Nick? Suspend economic cooperation, unilaterally if necessary Nick? How about expelling the Israeli Ambassador and suspension of diplomatic relations? How about issuing arrest warrants for members of the Israeli government?

Either Nick Clegg begins an immediate suspension of arms exports and ceases all economic cooperation with Israel or he should go down in history as a two faced hypocritical bastard of historic proportions and Lib dems should never be allowed to forget it.
 
Politician in two-faced hypocritical bastard shocker

Nothing any of them do surprises me any more :(
 
I'm not sure how you really feel about the subject. Stop using such equivocal language.
 
TBF we knew he was a many-faced man before this. And all those faces look like a pair of fleshy buttocks.

Keep reminding him. And then keep on reminding him.
 
Have you got a link for the Guardian piece, Dylans? It's good to be well-referenced when confronting these people.
