Why the lib-dems are shit

[Combustible]

Fallon up to his usual nice-dut-dim delusion as well:

You write the Lib Dems off at your peril

Did you know that .... our poll ratings are no worse than they were at the same point in the last parliament?

This is a blatant lie. This point last parliament was January 2008 and the Lib Dems polled at 14% with YouGov compared to the 9-10% they are polling now. Also he is cherry picking a time when the Lib Dems had reached their lowest point, Campbell resigned in October 2007 and Clegg only became leader in December, They went on to poll more like 17-18% whilst they have now been on around 9-10% for over 2 years.

Deputy prime minister Nick Clegg is to hold a weekly radio phone-in in a fresh attempt to reconnect with voters.
The Liberal Democrat leader will take calls from listeners to London's LBC 97.3 radio with presenter Nick Ferrari for half-an-hour every Thursday morning.
"I'm doing this because I don't think politicians get to hear enough from people directly," Clegg said.
"You can't do the right thing in government unless you keep in touch with how people are thinking and feeling."
LBC 97.3 broadcasts in Greater London but is available online across the UK.

ask him where they keep mings corpse

 

[articul8]

Best bet is to phone up saying you want to defend/praise Clegg - there'll hardly be any of those. Then give him both barrels!

Self-confessed benefits cheat tells us that there are "More cuts on the way" that will impact upon millions of honest, hardworking families.

 

[butchersapron]

There are still cuts to come and everyone in the country knows why

[two sheds]

The radio phone-in sessions will be known as "Call Clegg" in a rare move by a politician to take questions from voters so publicly on a regular basis.

 

[William of Walworth]

Wonder how many people who're determined to hurl abuse at Clegg, or at least determined but rational invective will succeed in getting through?

ETA : New thread started on it

 

[shagnasty]

what a waste of a childhood. someone should tell her that by the time she's 18 there wont be a lib dem party left

There wasn't much of a liberal party when i was 18 in 1970

lol, Lib Dems consider tuition fee pledge for next election

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...ction-pledge-to-cut-tuition-fees-8454698.html

The Liberal Democrats are considering whether to promise to reduce the £9,000 cap on university tuition fees in their manifesto at the next general election.

That can only mean they intend to double tuition fees. £20 grand a year. Cunts.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

fool people once shame on you

 

[DotCommunist]

yes at this point the libs could put 'ensuring daily sunrise in the east' as a pledge and nobody would believe them

Astonishing, they would actively foster focus on the thing that killed them. Beyond inept. I bet they paid someone one to come up with this as well.

Oh fucking hell, I hope they go ahead with this. What a bunch of stupid fucking twats.

 

[redsquirrel]

Yes, why would you draw attention to the one of the issues that most clearly marks you out as a bunch of lying scumbags.

If they had any sense at all they'd keep schtum on this issue and just hope that it dies down.

 

[Balbi]

It'd be like Labour campaigning on a 'tidy up Iraq a bit' platform.

 

[William of Walworth]

Tories campaigning in celebration of their record on the poll tax, but 'politely' and 'moderately'

</old school >

Look at this weasel Clegg blaming it on his wife, when we have the evidence on this thread that he publicly said that he was considering it years ago:

I won't stop my wife if she wants to send our eldest son to a private school, says Clegg

Nick Clegg has signalled that he may send his eldest son to a private school, potentially sparking controversy about his commitment to state education.

The Deputy Prime Minister said he would put his children’s education first and would not overrule the wishes of his wife or son for ‘political reasons’.

Mr Clegg and his Spanish wife, Miriam Gonzalez Durantez, have looked around several schools, including the exclusive Catholic state school The London Oratory and a £30,000-a-year independent school.

 

[DotCommunist]

two grand a year more than his own schooling. Inflation or temple priest fees

 

[butchersapron]

It's not the money that's the key here, we all knew he would likely come to this - he openly said so himself - no, the story here is how he is attempting to wipe his hands of it and blame his wife rather than take a single ounce of responsibility for it himself.

 

[youngian]

Did I hear Clegg the other night say "we all support that" on the subjet of Cameron's EU renogitation to withdraw from the social chapter?

Surely if he had any balls he would say "I've moved to the right" and not try and blame his wife

 

[DotCommunist]

they all do it, Diane Abbot claimed she sent her kid private because he begged her too- he may have but its not the point is it

 

[butchersapron]

That's it though, he hasn't really anywhere - he was openly talking about sending them private years ago. It's all part of liberal freedom to choose, to dispose of ones property as one sees fit, always has been.

Swap 'Integrity whatsoever' for balls?

two part excuse, niether acceptable

Her son contacted a radio phone-in to say that his mother was following his own wishes: "She's not a hypocrite, she just put what I wanted first instead of what people thought," he told LBC. He added that he had wanted to go private rather than attend a local state school in Abbott's Hackney constituency.

put that in your pipe and smoke it
