Nick Clegg is the latest in a long line of political
scum bags to sail away into the sunset leaving behind the horrible mess they
created for other people (Blair – Iraq, Cameron – Brexit, George Osborne – devastating
cuts in welfare and so on and so forth).
Even with the distractions of the home-made Brexit
disaster and the Trump catastrophe across the pond (including now – nuclear proliferation)
and the more minor everyday diversions of celebrity shite and TV crap, social media anesthesia, what
these bastards have got away with/profited from beggars belief.
I wonder, as Nick and Mrs Cojones head off to
Silicon Valley to mop up the rewards for toadying to David Cameron so
successfully after the 2015 general election, whether he and the Mrs will
reflect on the different life chances their own children will enjoy compared
the ones they left behind in massive life-crushing debt.
There’s lots of ruinous politics going on right now
so in case memories are hazy or overloaded – Nick Clegg’s absolutely clear promise in the
run-up to the 2015 UK election was that he – as leader of The Liberal party –
would abolish student university tuition fees if elected. Following the
indecisive results, Clegg took the Liberals into a coalition that supported a
vile Tory administration that actually led to a huge hike in the fees he said he'd abolish.
Clegg went along with it all. I still maintain that his decision to power grab
at any cost broke the previous Liberal leader – Charles Kennedy’s heart. The popular
and charismatic and principled Kennedy died of a heart attack shortly after the
general election of that year.
Clegg was rewarded for his back stabbing with a
knighthood. He is Sir Nick – just like that other f’ing shit Sir Philip Green who
fleeced another demographic by asset stripping famous UK high street brand BHS
before offloading what was left onto some moronic fall guy. Thousands were laid
off and many lost pension rights and were thrust into poverty after decades of
loyal service. Check out post 185 Does
Sir Philip Green Kick Disabled Kittens in his spare time http://browngirloutsidethering.blogspot.com/2016/05/185-does-sir-philip-green-kick-disabled.html
Sir Nick served as an MEP before becoming an MP and
leader of the Liberal Party. Presumably, Mark Zuckerberg, who offered Clegg the
lucrative job as Head of Global Affairs and Communications at Facebook – thinks
this is just the kind of oil slick in a suit he needs to get back into Europe’s
good books. I wouldn’t hold your breath Mark. You should check out the Nick
effect on young people – your main demographic - and even ask the good folk of
Sheffield who ousted him from one of the few UK Liberal strongholds at their earliest opportunity.
Liberals have the credit of being the only prominent political
party in the UK to staunchly oppose the madness of Brexit. They are morally
hog-tied because they are also the party that sold young folk down the river.
All the way.
Personally I hope that Mr and Mrs I’m Alright Jack fry in Silicon Valley
as global temperatures both environmentally and politically soar.
Clegg is a silly con artist heading to Silicon
Valley – students and their parents in the UK will be glad to see the back of
him.
