Since the Coalition the Liberal Democrats belief’s have slowly dissolved away, they seem to be acting as if they HAVE to appease the Conservatives (a bit like Neville Chamberlain but with the Nazi’s).

Wasn’t Young Clegg so Great Before the Election – But now he’s grown up he’s Public Enemy No.2 (second to David Cameron). Nick Clegg has had to ‘crawl’ back to his constituency to talk to business leaders about snatching the loan away from nuclear development company Forge masters.

Put Back on your Slippers Gran – Your Going Back to Work I seriously don’t know what to say about this new coalition government policy, it’s good but must be applied with caution.
