Why the lib-dems are shit

As the countdown to next GE is on worth bumping this thread - these piss yellow hypocrites are no alternative to anything

Davey, Lamb and squirrel killer Swinson all ministers responsible for the Post Office during the Horizon scandal - so imprisoning innocent people, another LD win here.
n May 2010, Davey refused to meet Alan Bates, the post office operator who led the campaign to expose the scandal and whose story has now been told in an ITV drama, saying he did not believe it “would serve any purpose”.Bates has described the Lib Dem minister’s 121-word response as not just “disappointing” but “offensive”

Where does Norman Lamb manage to get into this?
BTW the smear on Ed Davey is being Tweeted out by most of the barmy right wing Tory MPs - presumably the ones with most to fear from LD blue wall vote switching.
Personally I blame Tonty Benn
ICL was created in 1968 as a result of the Industrial Expansion Act and by this initiative, the Wilson Government's Ministry of Technology, headed by Tony Benn, aimed to create a British computer industry that could compete with major world manufacturers such as IBM.

ICL - Oral Histories of IT and Tech - Archives of IT

ICL was of course subsequently bought by Fujitsu in the one of the many boardroom maneuvers of modern British capitalism.
 
The (warning: LD site) yellow streak have gone to great lengths to rebut the accusation that Davey did not meet Alan Bates. What is not in doubt is that Davey, just like all the other ministers involved, told the sub-postmasters that he believed POL and there was nothing he could do.
Smells like a smokescreen this morning, to hide the rest of the 10+ ministers who were in a similar role as Davey
 
Has any senior Lib Dem figure ever admitted that their wipeout in the general election after the coalition government was punishment for collaboration with the Tories or do they still trot out the "consequence of taking tough decisions" excuse they used at the time?
Good question.
Meanwhile they're still learning just how long a spoon is required of those who sup with the devil...

I think Moran said something mealy mouthed, but most - including Davey - still defend the austerity policies they enacted. Policies that killed people.

Sir Ed was asked about his record in the Conservative-Lib Dem coalition government when he served as energy secretary under David Cameron.
He acknowledged that they had "had tough decisions to make" and added that "all governments make mistakes". He argued that the Liberal Democrats had offset the "Tory agenda" and said the Liberal Democrats would reverse some coalition policies such as the bedroom tax, if they got into power.

We all know what the lib dems are. But alot of the same people who get pissy about them probably supported a Corbyn led Labour Party, who if they ever gained power would have no choice but to be a sort of lib dems mark 2, due to how the system is. It's the system that's the fundamental problem.

They must have - not that it was ever broadcast. I was in the count at the 2014 Lambeth council election when the late Daphne Hayes-Mojon - twice Mayor of Lambeth - was visibly shaken and actually said "He who sups with the devil should have a long spoon" (14th century anonymous incidentally). So having lost ALL their councillors in Lambeth in 2014 was certainly a strong warning sign.
Which Lib Dems have you heard on the telly lately urging another coalition with the Tories?
