Nick Clegg: I’m big and brave enough to act in UK’s interest

When politicians speak like this most people forget that they use vague terms for a reason. Nick Clegg’s idea of what is best for Britian probably comes nowhere close to what we think is best for Britain. Instead of making bold statements I’d like to know what he actually intends to do but that’s probably not as pretty!

A coalition government is the ultimate compromise and the perfect excuse for any politician to backtrack, fudge or just forget his campign promises. The scale of these impending cuts is massive and unprecedented. There is no scenario other than that the disabled will be disproportionately targeted. They cannot fight back and have far less “clout”. Suddenly there are all these documentaries on benefit cheats. The average persons sees this and blindly agrees with the right wing media that Welfare must bear the brunt of the cuts. For politicians to start talking about “lifestyle choices” is morally repugnant. I fear the disabled will be easy targets and be engulfed by a tide of political hysteria.

Curiously the Liberals were taking a different stance before the election, suggesting that to get it right the spending review had to be properly thought through, now it’s full steam ahead, as fast as you can go and don’t worry about the ice berg it’ll only hurt the people in steerage!
