So Nick Clegg has called David Cameron the 'conman of British politics' well that's a surprise, the leader of one party slagging off the leader of another and so close to an election too. Have we forgotten a certain Anthony Charles Lynton Blair so soon.
Back in 1996 he was promising everything to everyone including being so full of new ideas and a desire to change the world that he promised not to change what the supposedly discredited Tories had in place for, two years was it?
If only we would just give him power. Just a little bit of power, please? Pretty please?
Oh come on just vote for me and I'll get my granny to come round and clean your house for you. In fact you can have my Granny, she's getting on a bit and frankly the smell of wee is a bit off putting while we're munching the muesli in the mornings. While we're about it you wouldn't like my Father-in Law as well would you. He's always been a bit of an embarrassment and I'm sure he could do a bit of gardening. As long as you keep the booze cabinet locked you should be fine.
....and large numbers of the public fell for it and leapt around singing 'Things can only get better' Oh yeah?
Ten plus years later exit the original mission creep to leave the country in the unelected hands of Dear Prudence a man with an almost terminal charisma bypass and a rictus grin straight out of the Richard Nixon book of political expression. The only reason his religious beliefs don't include confession is that he thinks there should be nothing left to confess once he's finished controlling and restricting everyone.
Politicians! Don't get me started.
