MY PRINT column this week examines the spellbinding temper of easy that surrounds Cut Clegg, the Liberal Democratic chief and deputy high minister, after his birthday party changed into as soon as given a thumping by voters on Could per chance Fifth. Mr Clegg’s detractors name him unprincipled and pushed utterly by ambition. I genuinely think that’s unfair, or comely utterly inasmuch as all entrance-putrid politicians are pushed by ambition.

He ponders the extravagant hatred being directed in direction of him and his birthday party, and I think he concludes that mostly the British public haven’t yet understood the changed realities of life below a coalition authorities.
