In a way you have to admire the chupatz of Nick Clegg when
he stated in his speech to the Lib Dem conference this week, ‘if the Conservative
party were in power on their own they would only ask the working-age poor to
pick up the tab for the mistakes made by the bankers in the past.’
He went to add that any post general election coalition with
Tories would not allow the working poor to be exploited in this way to fund tax
cuts for the better off. All very laudable of course, but this being so, why
have the Lib Dems allowed this approach to cutting the budget deficit for the
past five years?
The bedroom tax, benefit sanctions, benefits uprated by less
than inflation, cuts to public services, privatising Royal Mail at a knock down
price, reducing the top rate of income tax and pay cuts for public sector
workers, have all been the norm under the coalition government. If Nick Clegg
or his party wanted to put a stop to any of this, they could easily have done
so. They did put a stop to the Tories gerrymandering the electoral boundaries
(although only in retaliation for the Tories blocking reform of the House of
Lords).
The Lib Dems must be more deluded than I thought, if they
really think the voters are going to swallow this one?
The above video is a reminder, if anyone needs it, of Nick
Clegg promising to abolish university tuition fees, and we all know what
happened next don’t we?
The ‘Home Office Source’ who last week said that ‘Nick Clegg
is a w*nker’, was actually spot on.
