Tim Farron MP is in a dream world
he is talking like Labour should have.

''On zero-hours contracts, Cable said his department's review, under way for six months, had identified obvious abuses", including workers being forced to sign exclusively with one firm a permanent zero-hours contract without employment rights. "There are undoubted abusers and I am determined to do something," he said.''

Bang on!

The comments are hilarious! they don't have moderators at the Guardian do they? :joker:

''Cable also defended his plans to privatise the Royal Mail, saying it was "nothing to do with ideology" but about bringing in private capital''

How is this defending it, is it not just an admission that they did it for the money?...

I just think anytime a Lib Dem MP speaks about all the lies and pledges they made in 2010 and then did the opposite.

I wouldn't trust or believe this lot as to almost anything now.

All they keep saying is that they prevented some policies ... which ones? because as far as I can see the government have ridden roughshod slashing at communities and infrastructure as they go as usual!

Exactly and often only after being caught out in the NHS reforms for instance when the conference nearly went for opposing all the reforms to the NHS, even then that was a fudge.
All they did was get shelved parts of some policies to make it appear they had won something.

The fact is they should never have been supporting top to bottom NHS reforms in the first place, full stop.
Just as they shouldn't on other policies too which have now almost become too numerous to mention.

Under Clegg, all the really hard work done and achieved by Charles Kennedy, (even with his problems), have been completely torn apart.
At least they were believed as to their word when Kennedy was leader.

When I saw this on the news yesterday with Clegg saying things like The Tories are "the party of fire at will." I was screaming at the TV DON'T BE IN GOVERNMENT WITH THEM THEN!

I would never ever believe a word that comes out of that man's mouth. Before the last GE the LD's were the party of students and the less well off and these people stood by them; Clegg stabbed every single one of them in the back purely for his own gain.

He's been sat in his mansion eating Caviar whilst his electorate have sat in cold flats unable to afford heating, eating cold beans out of a tin and worrying about where they will be in 5 years because of what the Tories have been allowed to do to them.

You enabled them Clegg. Nobody else.

**** the Tories and **** the Liberal Democrats

Fecking Clegg is getting far too Cocky
His talk today was crazy



He never mentioned Jeremy Thorpe
when he went back in time.


He claims he will be in power again in joint
with the Ed or Dave etc.

[Lee.]

They are brave
going up there.

How offensive :idc:

How offensive :idc:why Lee?

[joeysteele]

I think that was a really poor speech from Clegg, I know I am not someone who even likes this man now but I expected a bit more humility at the very least.

He was going on like he had the right now to be in Govt for all time,the only thing he should need to do is be in a position to decide who with.
What arrogance and also in fact, to me anyway the whole conference has looked dated and very lacklustre.
