Can we have a big hand for Mr Nick Clegg ?


he has singlehandedly ensure that the LibDems are unelectable on the national stage for a generation, but has now killed off any chance of fundamental change to the current FPTP system and at the same time, wiped out the parties headcount & influence in local councils.


I can understand Cameron - he does what you would expect for a rich toff with a background in PR. I can understand Millband - with his MOR Socialism lite & North London ways. Clegg has been exposed for what he is - a smug little ambitious, moral and principle free shitehawk.


*slow handclap to those sporting victims faces *

It's hard to see how Clegg could have played his deputy PM hand any worse. All he had to do was - occasionally - not look like he was enjoying it so much, but alas it was seeping out of every pore for all to see.


By contrast the Cons have played a near perfect hand, and must be weeing themselves with joy over the results so far.

Yes potentialy the worst hand ever, makes you wonder about the rest of the party he leads if he sits at the top, christ knows whats below him? Worse still he is our deputy prime minister.....bloody terrifying actually.


Anyone seen James Barber this morning ? I heard he was keeping his head down in a boat on the middle of Dulwich Park Lake ? apparently the pro AV's are huddled in a boat next to him with captain 'Philip VI of Huguenot' at its helm.


" come in No13 your time is up "

I wouldn't be too quick to gloat.


Clegg is Cameron - only minus the coaching. And Cameron's got the top job, not just the joke deputy PM job. That's the really terrifying part.


So you're rejoicing that one sharp-suited PR drone with no real principles was better at PR than the other one.


Some victory.

The thing is that the electorate has now pretty much ensured that the coalition will run the full course, unless the Tories try their hand at an early election. The LibDems would need to be suicidal to pull out and force an election at this stage.


My guess is that Clegg will go at about year 3 and then a new leader will be installed to try and give the party a new face for 2015.

The Tories and the SNP are the only winners from yesterday. Slight increase for the Tories in council seats (against all expectations) and a win in the referendum. LibDems suffered the election from hell. Plaid Cymru went backwards. Labour failed to capitalise in England and had a disaster in Scotland, though almost pulled it off in Wales.


Cameron, much as I hate to admit, has played a blinder.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
