Why the lib-dems are shit

Tommorrow there will be a formal announcement to close the A&E/Maternity at my local hospital.
Here is a picture taken at one of the protests against this decision:-
hypocrites_zps27808ab9.jpg


On the left, Paul Burstow (Minister of State for Care Services 2010-2012), and on the right Tam Broke (Privy Counsellor & Deputy leader of House 2012 - ). So, at the time this was taken, both members of the coalition government; "save" from whom might be the question for these slimey hypocrites.:mad:
 
Proper scumbags - surprised they had the cheek to turn up given what could have happened - lib-dem MP was chased off a demo outside the town hall here a few month back.

Anyway, the lib-dems donation have dropped by 40% over the last year. £4 million to £2.5
 
Peter Tatchell's claiming today that he has info that the infamous "Which Queen will you vote for?" leaflet that was circulated anonymously during the 1983 Bermondsey by-election and was previously assumed to be delivered by the National Front was in fact the work of a "now top Liberal Democrat politician". The leaflet in question included Tatchell's name address and telephone number and was an obvious incitement to attack, I remember it well.
He also reckons that,

“If it is true that the leaflet was produced by the Liberals, it may call into question the legality of Simon Hughes's election to parliament in 1983. Anonymous election leaflets are illegal. They are serious infringements of electoral law,” said Peter Tatchell.

If this ^^ is true it'd make a gorgeous court case to stink up a few of the last months of this miserable little government's miserable existence. If anyone really wants to remind themselves how disgusting the liberals* were back in the 80s, and what a disgusting hypocrite Simon Hughes is they should read Tatchell's book The Battle for Bermondsey.

* Labour don't exactly come out smelling of roses

was it? I'd always thought it was a libscum leaflet.
 
Tatchell has been claiming this for years - including being told by lib-dem members involved, would be good to see him join up with the desperate skin-saving Radford to put the spotlight back on it, rather then nauseating stuff in the link above.

Well I've had my memory prompted that this is what was said now so I'm fucked if I can remember. The independent Labour guy was the one running the most openly homophobic campaign as I remember but although they were arseholes they seemed to claim responsibility for everything they did.

I didn't know that, I just got sent this in a forwarded email. I guess the fact that he's got someone who'll let their name out in public means he's keeping the pressure on. Any guesses who the un-named senior liberal is?

No idea, probably easier to work backwards and rule people out - i.e SDP members, those too young etc

Labour : they've been second in Eastleigh in the past, and could be again. But will have to try harder to win back disaffected Lib Dem defectors. They won't win, but maybe? could do enough to damage the Lib Dems (especially) and the Tories too, with UKIP help ... :p

They were (always) second when there were only two real parties contending. From1983- they were only ever second in the 1994 by-election. Which would bode better for them if Labour weren't still despised by much of their base and considered to have only a very small chance of winning it.

I think they'll do well to break 20% this time. UKIP are gaining one third of their extras from Labour and Lib Dems (yougov national polling data), half the tactical LD voters hadn't switched back to Labour by the time Ashcroft polled them (at 19%), and by-elections are for protest votes, not rewarding recently defeated and much despised opposition parties who haven't exactly tried very hard to make amends yet. Labour are still pro-austerity and it will hurt them; Eastleigh isn't particularly rich.

not a lot it was a bit shit and not very interesting. simon hughes did make it abundantly clear that he personally has always been on the same side as tatchell and his regret is that he didn't take personal control over the campaign

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.

Agreed. Really underscores exactly what an utterly repellent, spineless, cowardly and nasty piece of work that worthless sack of shit really is. These fucking lib dem cunts are completely happy to use their wifes as human shields for their own lack of backbone - just like that criminal liar chris huhne vermin. They should all be rounded up and then be subjected to something adverse to their interests.

Make that a fucking liar. This is from wikipedia but it certainly corresponds with how I remember his coming out and it doesn't seem to have been challenged.

Hughes has never married, although in an interview with The Daily Telegraph in 2006, he claimed he had been turned down by "several women". He denied persistent rumours about his sexuality, when asked if he was gay, saying "The answer is no, as it happens, but if it were the case, which it isn't, I hope that it would not be an issue." Two days later, in an interview with The Independent he again denied being gay,[34] and later in an interview with The Guardian he repeated the denial.[35]
However, on 26 January 2006, after The Sun newspaper told him that they had proof that he had used a gay chat service known as 'Man Talk', Hughes admitted that in the past he had had relationships with both women and men.[36] He said he had revealed the truth when it became apparent that not doing so was not stopping rumours: " was overly defensive last week. That was a mistake. I did it and I was trying to make sure that even in the circumstances of potentially standing as leader of the party — or for high office — that private life was private. It was clear even afterwards that the question from colleagues and the press and elsewhere was not going to go away."[37]

Referring to his change from previous denials about his sexuality and recent Liberal Democrat difficulties he said, "I hope that any colleague in any party at any time who might not have been entirely honest for good reason or who may have made a mistake is accepted back at the right time." and also "I gave a reply that wasn't untrue but was clearly misleading. I apologise." He confirmed to PinkNews that he is bisexual.[39]

Remember this was nearly ten years after openly gay MPs had been elected and re-elected (Stephen Twigg, Chris Smith). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Hughes#cite_note-shoffman-39
