This week we have the always strange specitcal of the Liberal Democrat party conference. For those who don't know, there leader is called Nick Clegg. At a time when the Conservatives are on the up, you would think the Liberal Democrats would be jumping on the anti-Labour bandwagon for maximum mileage themselves.
Oh no, not the Lib Dems. There leader has decided to launch his fire on the Conservatives. He describes those the Tories have joined with in the European Parliament who are not totally convinced of the science on amn amde global warming as 'Climate change deniers.' Very student union language with an undertone of likening them to facists who the term 'holocaust deniers' is often applied. A very nasty way to conduct a legitiamate debate, especially aimed at Eastern Europeans who have experinced such regimes first hand. He also attacks the Conservatives for not being a defender of every aspect of the Human Rights Act that so often protects convicted criminals.
Sadly it seems the signs are Clegg has decided to March his troops left when he had the chance to be more inventive, this will doubtless delight many of their activists. It is oftens said many would vote for the Lib Dems if they thought they could win, we are now seeing why it is right that they can't win, they cannot be trusted.
