Nick Clegg’s interview today on the ‘Andrew Marr Show’ on BBC television laid bare both his agenda within the coalition and reinforced the desperate liberal, left wing bias of the BBC news department.
Marr feigned aggressive, pointed questioning but, in reality, he allowed Clegg to rant on about his muddled and confused ideas which stem from an agenda to undermine the Coalition at every opportunity to try and raise his own profile. He is now laying claim to every initiative from the Coalition and sounding off with his barmy ideas secure in the knowledge that his party is all but destroyed in public support throughout the UK.
Marr carefully avoided asking Clegg what he would have done and instead concentrated on exposing the weaknesses of the coalition. Presumably Clegg would have meekly signed up to the proposed Euro treaty and thereby would have bound Britain to submitting its budgets for EU approval; a transaction tax which would have financial institutions fleeing London like a sinking ship and a complete subversion to European bureaucrats ruling our country and imposing their freakish views of human rights, for example.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again now – Cameron should dump the Liberals and cut and run for a general election immediately. The country needs proper government, not the tail wagging the dog in this coalition as Clegg undermines all the Conservatives’ best initiatives, whilst posturing as the leader of the Government. Balls and Milliband are unelectable in Labour. Nobody in their right mind could possibly give any kind of power back to Balls who, almost single-handedly destroyed education in this country and egged on the idiot Brown in the Treasury to squander trillions of pounds – yes TRILLIONS – with his laughably-labelled ‘prudence.’
For prudence read desperate incompetence wedded to zealous left-wing idealism. Men may be born equal but they sure as hell don’t remain equal as they take their opportunities in life. The Labour Party’s big mistake – just like the Communists – is to try and force everyone to be equal. Men with women, millionaires with paupers, intelligent people with un-intelligent people – squeeze them all through the same state sausage machine whilst ensuring that the ‘dear leaders’ like Brown, Blair, Balls and Harman’ are totally exempt from all laws and ethics while amassing personal fortunes and sending their children to private schools. It doesn’t work.
Eventually everyone works for the state, most are on benefits and there’s no-one left to lead and inspire and pay taxes to support the idle proletariat. And Ed Milliband has nothing to offer. Think Nye Bevan, think Michael Foot, think Wilson and then look at Milliband – a shuffling, sniffling dullard with nothing to say for himself , a puppet of the unions with about as much charisma as a toilet brush.
This was a real low point for Andrew Marr’s journalism. Just another grandstand for liberal, left-wing supporters inside and outside the BBC. When will they start to listen and reflect views other than those of the piss-poor Guardian ?
Cut and run, David. You will never fashion a strong, progressive Britain while Clegg keeps pulling your pants down round your ankles !
