Says the man who cosied up to David fucking Cameron for 5 years, I don't think Nick Clegg is a good judge of who exactly is a monster
"It's fine. That pig was dead when he got his hands on it, he didn't feel any pain."
And yet somehow that was still the best government we've had in the last 15 years :(
Jesus that's a depressing realisation. How did it get worse from Cameron and Clegg? But somehow it did
He can't see the wood for the trees. I think he thinks that just because the people he worked with day to day were personable and pleasant to be around, that means the company mission isn't corrupting society.
Or... he's just a monster himself. Better at hiding it, arguably
The same man who pledged to abolish tuition fees, immediately abandoned that pledge to gain power, tripled them instead, and was then caught afterwards having already scrapped the plan to abolish them internally while still publicly campaigning on it?
However, leaked documents revealed that the Lib Dems had actually planned to abandon their tuition fee pledge before the election even took place.
A month before Clegg promised to get rid of the “dead weight of debt,” senior insiders said the party should “leave” the pledge before entering any negotiations to form a coalition government, saying: “Let us not cause ourselves more headaches.”
That article is an interesting read on how the big three keep lying through their teeth on tuition fees as well. And how the National Union of Students opposed tuition fees for over a decade until the now-health secretary Wes Streeting became their general secretary.
"Lies. There's been too many of them lately."
That was literally how his campaign video started.

Fixed it for you, cleggers.
Fuck this guy - Coming across all polite, well spoken, talking out his arse about how he tried to make big changes in politics and introduce positive reform at fucking Meta when in reality he sold his values for 4 years in the (shadow of the) spotlight and sold his soul for a fat salary.
I'm still mad I voted for him in 2010.
I never trusted the lip dams I still don't. They never seem to actually have a position on anything.
Like seriously what are they doing right now for example? Labour being an absolute disaster they have every opportunity to show the country that they are an alternative, that they could be in opposition instead of the conservatives and what are they doing, absolutely nothing.
Yeah exactly! At the time I remember they felt like a breath of fresh air, coming out of the Blair/Brown Labour government, and then they were such a let down in the coalition. I have no idea what they have been up to since then - they could be countering all the unpopular things current Labour are doing. It seems like there're no good left options at the moment.
Said the guy whose previous job was to prop up Cameron's conservative government?
monster says people he worked with aren't monsters

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
