Sanctimony they name is Lib Dem. Has been every since Gladstone, who believed that the Ace of Trumps up his sleeve had been put there by God.
Knocker Clegg has the same delusion. Which is why he’s clamouring for a corruption probe against BAE at whatever cost to jobs and the income to Britain. It should be a lesson to governments which pass high principled legislation – like the Bill of Rights – which are unenforceable.
Yet aside from that, what should we have done? Donated all the jobs and the earnings to the Frogs in a communitaire generosity?
Chuff it Clegg

Advice for Gordon (Chapter 18) This is the age of Pimple politics as Labour and Tory try to pick at them and squeeze the spots on each others faces.
Don’t go down to the Molehill Gordon. But don’t go into the gas clouds either. Meaningless commitments to stamp out world poverty, defeat global warming, eliminate plastic bags or lead the EU to glory, are useless. No one believes any of it and even fewer are interested.
Look to the ordinary Joes and Jills. They’re struggling against debt and squeezed by rising fuel, food and utility prices. Their pay isn’t increasing, their disposable income is falling. They’re fed up with it. Time to tax the rich to help the people. The people Gord, the people. Not Corporations and wealth but men and women who’ve had enough.

Cunctator King does it again! He’s delayed the necessary big interest rate reduction and fallen still further behind the game.
Recession is on its way. Credit is too tight. Home owners and small businesses are being squeezed. House prices, the prop to everything, are falling. Repossessions are rising and will further depress house prices. Consumer demand is low, retail is hard hit. We’re sinking.
In the US the Fed and Congress are doing something about it. Here nothing because Cunctator King and his banking buddies prefer to piddle. A quarter per cent piddle here. Perhaps there. Perhaps not. They see it as their job to preach morality, not save the economy.
