Clegg doesn’t get it

Nick Clegg doesn’t get it.  He just doesn’t understand. During the election he and his colleagues happily signed written pledges to “oppose any increase in student fees”.  That  couldn’t be clearer. He and his entire party are opposed to tuition fee increases.

He and his party then voted to treble tuition fees – and he wonders why students are angry. 

Then he and his followers have the cheek to peddle the tory lie.  “It’s e better deal”.  Only a tory could claim trebling fees is a better deal.

The point that Cleggers and co utterly fail to get is this.  After the shameful expenses scandal where he and others basically stole from us the tax payers the credibility of parliament was on the line.  We knew they were sleazy cheats but a written pledge was more than a promise or ambition – that we haven’t believed in years.

Now they have broken solemnly written and signed pledges – they have nowhere left to go. No-one will ever believe a word they say again.

Not even Gordon brown would “agree with Nick” now!
