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.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.”
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
