Who Gives Best Lib Dem Oral?: Sack Cyril Smith From List

Lib Dem Voice are running a public poll on the matter of who is the greatest living orator in their tradition. They have included the bare-bottom smacker, ballbag fondler, asbestos arse licker, and miscarrier of sex murder justice Sir Cyril Smith MBE in their short list. Commenters have suggested towards twenty further nominees for the list. Blooming Lib Dems! All over the place. Paddy Pantsdown and Shirl the Pearl are running away with it so far.

Here's my comment:

Cyril Smith?

He could not orate his way out of a paper bag. We know for sure that one or two of his more extended parliamentary contributions were written for him by the Health and Safety nightmare that is the Asbestos Industry. He delivered one of them - with his chums in the gallery - even though an amendment and not the substantive motion was being put.
And he had a nice line in kangeroo courts involving vulnerable youth being persuaded to take a beating from his own fair hands rather than other consequences.
And of course he manufactured outrage at any delay in the wrongful conviction of Stefan Kiszko with a Lib Dem escaping prison for many years due to this gross error.
Please take Cyril off this list. He is and always was a ******* disgrace. Tell Dave Hennigan (Cyril's number one fan) to go swivel.

I've voted for John Pardoe. Not because he's any good on the stump. But as a protest at the inclusion of the large than life fiddler on the hoof. Pardoe will get next to no votes in his own right. This makes him a perfect avenue for a protest vote. Fly, fly my pretties, fly. (Misquote by the way, not even close).
