Why the lib-dems are shit

belboid said:
In a generous and brave attempt to stop Nick Clegg looking the biggest twat in Sheffield (if not the country), council leader Paul Scriven has kindly put himself forward for the position, with his appearance for a promo video for the hotel hosting the Liberal Scum conference next year.

(Please ensure there is something soft between your chin and the floor before watching, as I wouldn't want anything to get broken)

You people should be thankful for small mercies. That video at least has some creativity and wit. Here in Canada, we are treated to seeing our Conservative Prime Minister singing Jumpin' Jack Flash.

 
Oh dear - Scriven you total twat

My first reraction when I saw this pile of shite was "Fuck Me Noooooooo"

People of Sheffield - you have nothing to lose except your integrity - You will be able to cease this prick's nonsense in 2011......

Another u-turn

A commitment to a free vote is in the coalition agreement but is not seen as a priority given bigger issues relating to the economy and public services.

Watch this 'not seen as' gain momentum. Odd that to the lib-dems the agreement was seen as sacrosanct. You fucking double mugs - and we pay.
 
Just the thing to counter the internet-savvy kind of protesters who recently annoyed them. There is literally no way this can go wrong.
 
It totally is.

The public can understand that they can't have all the Lib Dem manifesto, but the Lib Dems went much further than merely putting no tuition fees in their manifesto. Every single one of the personally and very publicly pledged to vote against any increase in tuition fees. That's way beyond a manifesto commitment, it is a promise to their constituents from them as an individual. A person's word is their bond - at least an honourable person's word is. If Clegg and Cable really couldn't keep their promise due to events outside their control then they should have done the honourable thing and resigned, they could have fought to keep their seats in the ensuing by-elections if they wanted. But they didn't, and they're not honourable.

I'm looking forward to seeing that lying party get a kicking in the Scottish Parliament elections, and I used to be a card carrying Lib Dem... :(

Patrick Wintour is being SUCH a fackin spindoctor for the 'coalition' right now. Pissing me off massive time. Not all Graun people are quite so blatant, but he in particular is a total embarassment at the mo IMO.

As for that linked Sheffield vid, I can't even contemplate trying to watch it for now, I blame excessive NYE beer for my cowardice ... ;)

Don't have to wait quite so long outside Scotland. Oldham East and Saddleworth here we come .... :cool:

(And Patrick Wintour's been spinning hard for the Lib Dems in his 'report' for that one too ... :hmm:

(At least Martin Wainwright, an actual Northerner, was a little bit better -- all the same, even he was still too 'objective'/'evenhanded' ;) about the likely outcome .....)
 
As time passes the separate identitys are fadeing the lib dems will cease to be ,and history tells of the demise of the liberals
 
Just a little reminder:

Clegg said at the time:

"We see absolutely no reason to raise VAT because we have done our homework, we have identified where money can be generated and where money can be saved."

He might not even have been lying for once at that point. The circa £12 billion that this regressive tax increase is expected to raise is only neeeded to cover the £12 billion worth of tax cuts Clegg and Cameron gave their mates.
 
On the plus side, Clegg quite possibly has Cameron by the balls: it's mutually assured destruction if the LDs quit the alliance. Of course, this presupposes that Clegg has the wit to realise this and the talent to use it to his advantage. Alas, the perks of office are sweet indeed.

Why are you so mental?
 
I didnt miss any of it. Saying something mental like "Clegg quite possibly has Cameron by the balls" stands on its own. Your mad idea that this is the truth and may be manipulated by Clegg if he gets his skates on has nothing to do with me. It's your responsibility.

Your last line appears to have nothing to with anything either.
 
It seems like only yesterday that any time Clegg returned to his constituency town of Sheffield, he would be paraded in front of the (Lib-Dem controlled) town hall and greeted by hoards of cheering local well wishers.

His latest visit to the Town hall (to meet with Lib Dem Cllrs yesterday) was kept secret, but word got out and an impromptu demo ensued - Clegg was quietly whisked away in his car looking worried. And he should be. (full story)

No he doesn't; if the coalition breaks up and the govt falls, Cameron may be able to run in a GE on a "this is a national emergency, so give us the majority necessary to do the job properly, as you can't trust Labour after they got the nation's finances into this mess", whilst also blaming the libdems for the govt's fall. the LDs however, would be annihilated at the GE, absolutely no doubts. And both men know this.
I'm not saying such a strategy would automatically pay off, but it would prolly be worth the risk, in Cameron's eyes.

Which bit of 'Of course, this presupposes that Clegg has the wit to realise this and the talent to use it to his advantage' did you miss? Do you deny that the ConDems would lose big if an election were held now?

That's exactly what they want you to think you fucking pawn.

If the LibDem vote totally disintigrates, it will improve Labour's chances more than the Tories. IMO.
