Over two years after he broke his pledge not to raise tuition fees, Clueless finally apologised. His party of assorted clots gave a muted response to his Conference presentations. They did not rebel. They have tied themselves to the mast of a sinking wreck drifting towards the rocks. Inside the conference bubble occasional shafts of reality glimmer briefly. A female activist claimed that when they go ‘on the knocker’ they are being received as Tories. Well well well. Fancy that!
It is not the tuition fees that has sunk them - there are plenty of other things to quote at them if the LibDems come a knockin. Here are a few more thanks to ‘Bullingdonknob’ who commented on the Guardian website today.

Their time in government can be summarised as letting the Tories get away with right-wing policies. For all their talk - look at the facts and the impact on the poor and vulnerable. Look how little has been done to get more from the rich. They puff themselves up but they have been putty in the Tories hands - lambs to the slaughter.
