Nick Clogg: Some Good Lines But Only Half Way Through


Nick Clegg has run a few nice lines. But is he really less thsan half way through his oration. Are his propagandists going to spin this as a memory man feat exceeding Call me Dave's of 2007? Far, far, far too long. You are not Jack Dee, Cloggy old chap. Got the sandalistsas happy clapping and grinning. But that is their default setting.

Best so far:

1. A convicted arsonist talking of a firestorm started by wreckless wankers. Or sounded like that anyway.

2. On Cam stripping out the offensive parts. "Once you strip out the offensive parts of the Conservative Party there isn't much left."

3. Cam auditioning for Andrex Dog part. Nothing to do with the product, or is it? Smurfs and "toilet towel" (sic. did he say that?) are blue too.

Obviously none of what Clogg says must be construed as a policy or a spending commitment. I'm already in trouble for calling Huhne out for his 10,000 extra police offering. Which was apparently not one. Just a misleading soundbite then?

UPDATE: Nice camera work, panning to Lord Pantsdown when talking of old people needing care packages.

RUMOUR: Has Hennigan been given yet another (and rather similar) ultimatum? Drink goes or you do?

UPDATE 12:56: Did Clogg whisper "Thank you" to Vince Cable? For providing the gags in the speech?
