I’m currently waiting for the headline, “Clegg eats babies for breakfast”.

Todays savage attack on Nick Clegg confirms more than ever that we need a groundshift and radical reform in british politics.

The Tories said our policies should be scrutinised. Fine, that’s right and proper. Today we saw smear not scrutiny, we saw Conservative vested interests bullying the electorate. We saw corporate conservatives saying to the British people, oh no you don’t – you will vote Tory. 

It’s wrong, it is a disgraceful intervention in a general election and it certainly aint policy scrutiny or news journalism.

I was prepared to just put it down to the press and their conservative vested interests but I have yet to see any condemnation from the Conservative Party.

The only comment I have seen was to say that we should expect this as we are doing well. Ok, well we undoubtedly expected to be attacked, but this has gone way over the top. In any case what can be expected doesn’t necessarily mean its right.

It just proves yet again how rotten our democracy really is. Things have to change.
