Why the lib-dems are shit

[butchersapron]

Punish the poor who have to use public transport for their one big shop a month and are forced to use the bags for their rubbish rather thnan having a 100 quid brabantia bin, or their kids packed lunch or for freezer bags and reward those with a nice eco-car to drive to the supermarkets with and who have a huge freezer, tupperware etc

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

indeed wasn't there a good argument that taxing carrier bags would just force people to buy more purpose made plastic bin bags and the like rather than reusing their carrier bags?

 

[DotCommunist]

re use your bags to pick up dog shit. then hurl at cleggs house.

Brabantia bins - Shiny, over-priced and easily dented.

What an absolute shit cunt Clegg is:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-24099255

He said the UK needed Lib Dems in government because they would act as a moderating influence on the bigger parties, telling Andrew Marr coalition was "much better than either the left or the right messing things up on their own all over again".

"It is my genuine belief that if we go back to the bad old days, not of coalition or balanced politics, but of either the left or the right dominating government on their own, you will get a recovery which is neither fair nor sustainable.

In other words, I don't really give a fuck who's in government I'll slither up to anyone just as long as I can keep a modicum of power. Does he really believe that anyone in the country will accept that as a sincere statement? One of the most weasily statements I've ever heard a politician utter.

I've got my own plastic bag policy for Nick Clegg

Carrier bags already all cost 5p a pop here in Wales.

We just help ourselves to a few each time we visit London ... or Bristol

Lib Dems to make no income tax for minimum wage workers policy for any future coalition

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-24099255

Hmmm, why wasn't that a condition for the coalition they're currently in?

So have I. The one that West Midlands Serious Crime Squad pioneered.

Chris Huhne is back and is blaming the Murdoch press for his predicament. Apparently it was all because he was the one brave enough to challenge Murdoch when he was in opposition.

Is it me, or is Huhne making a major, and desperate, bid for rehabilitation? Artciles by him everywhere, not least in the LD house rag? (aka The Guardian)

 

[Streathamite]

I cannot see the poltical logic here -in this city their vote is a crossover to with the green party, they are/were in direct competition and here they are handing over something they could potentially use on the doorstep for those hippy-ish areas they are both competing in, and turned it into a weapon for people to demand of them why they didn't vote for it. Political madness.

just a wild guess here. They are so delusional as to think they might get power in Bristol one day, and don't want to be constrained (but it is a wild guess).
That, or they've completely lost the plot.

Why are people comparing the fibdims to shit as shit makes a good natural fertiliser and so is useful unlike the fibdims who are only useful if you have some Semtex or AK47's handy

Lib dems would also be good fertiliser

Great stuff, they vote to remind all the people they tricked that they tricked them:

The deputy prime minister won a controversial motion saying the Liberal Democrats were right to sign up to reduce the deficit through cuts to public spending.

A string of Lib Dem heavyweights lined up in favour of the leadership's position, including Vince Cable, the business secretary. He had been expected to stay away from the debate, but decided to turn up at the last minute after his absence was interpreted as a failure to back Clegg over the economy.

Is there no end to their political nous?

carrier bags are so fuckin flimsy anyway, you always have to get more

fixed it for you

 

[Streathamite]

If it weren't for the havoc and hell the Coalition's policies are causing to people's lives, I do admit I'd find it funny watching the LD's endless wriggling and self-justification as they approach their rendezvous with oblivion.
But the consequences of what they do nare too real.

 

[Streathamite]

indeed!

Liberal Democrat minister rues party's record on female MPs
Leadership ponders positive discrimination amid fear that party's female MPs face election rout

The party already has the worst gender balance of the three major parties. With seven women out of 57 MPs, the proportion of 12% compares with 16% for the Conservatives, after David Cameron temporarily brought in an "A-list" to promote women ahead of the 2010 election. Of Labour MPs, 31% are women, supported by a policy of female-only shortlists in some constituencies.

Teather 3%
Jenny Willott 13%
Jo Swinson about 4%
Tessa Munt 1.5%
Lynne Featherstone 12%
Lorely Burt 0.3%
Annette Brooke 0.6%

Back in the 80's i seem to remember the libs saying "go back to your consituencies and prepare for government" they then blew it now the fibdims should be saying "go back to your constituencies and prepare for oblivion" which in 2015 has a very real chance of happening

 

[Nylock]

Go back to your constituencies and prepare to sign on...

 

[SpineyNorman]

If there were any justice it would be go back to your constituencies and prepare your suicide notes.

I'm nicking that!

That was from Simon Huges constituency - on top of that he also wrote to the council attacking free school meals. So we have a local party opposing if across the board from the MP to the Councillors and they had made attacking free meals central to their election stratgey -why else would they have printed up posters and leaflets against the policy. And just to make matters worse, the pic they usd to illustrate their contempt for free school meals is a crop of a pic from outside the gates of eton (no free school meals inside the gates of eton):

So using that pic actually says that the kids on the right there should not be receiving free school meals because the rich kids on the right might get a formal unused right to those meals too. The argument effectively is that the poor should have less because the rich are richer than them.

 

[JTG]

Point of order: I always believed that pic was taken outside the Grace Gates at Lord's
