I haven't seen it yet. I am sure it will be adequate and unspectacular, like the man himself.

Any comment on Cable’s performance? 

He prematurely shot his load while having an exotic spresm.

Nobody wants to hear Vince Cable talking about erotic spasms. Nobody.

He can leave more than his hat on.

I see that Cleggy boy has landed himself a top job with Facebook. 

 

Extremely popular around 2010, but now largely detested and abandoned by the young...what a perfect appointment!

This headline made me chuckle. RIP Facebook. 

 

Facebook Turns to U.K. Politician to Help Repair Its Image

 

LONDON— Facebook Inc. FB +0.05% has hired one of Britain’s best-known politicians as its top policy and communications executive, giving a Silicon Valley outsider the task of mending the social network’s image as it deals with increased political scrutiny in the U.S. and abroad

Good timing from

this morning of all the former politicos hoovered up by the US tech giants

Interesting

Getting prepped for some good ol' US-style post-Brexit lobbying.

Once again I'd like to claim my Nick Clegg kudos for calling him out as a cunt even when it was trendy to like the slippery fuck.

 

I saw your ghetto ass coming from MILES away.

Apparently Zuckerberg was blown away when he heard about charging for plazzy bags.

Umunna getting 450 quid an hour to head up a 'centrist think tank'

 

Clegg doing this bullshit 

 

David Miliband heading some major charity, Tristram Hunt heading the British museum, Balir taking krgerands from every despicable cunt under the sun.

 

Corbyn at home making jam and taking pictures of manhole covers. I think we know why he never fitted in.

[cloggypop]

Yeah. What a cunt.

It's because he wants to destroy freedom.

 

Or something.

Umunna on £65,000 a year for 12 hours work a month.

 

Clegg on £1m before stock options.

 

Nice work if you can get it.

Newspaper that has spent eight years trying to force a man out of the country gets a cob on when they succeed.

They tried to force him out of the country? And in what way are they responsible for getting him forced out of the country? Thanks for clearing this up.

I figure the abuse they've doled out to him on a regular basis for a very long time indicates they would prefer if he wasn't around. Fair play to him for sticking around this long, I would have been on my way to better things three years ago.

This is where you could own your shit, Stronts. You could say 'okay, they didn't actually force him out, they have just criticised him'.

Well I wasn't really being literal in the first place. But if it makes you happy, I'm happy to clarify that.

It does make me happy to know that you don't think he was forced out of the country, that the Guardian tried to force him out of the country, and the entirety of your post can be dismissed. Don't get me wrong, I understand you are Mr Lib Dem, and Stronts gon' Stront when LDs get a dig, but you glossed over the entire actual story with a statement that attempts to deflect. It'd be a much more productive thing to do, in my view, to actually talk about the way our politicians, from all major parties, and their advisors, friends, and family, are given cushy numbers. It's all a bit grubby, I think. It makes you wonder what fingers are where and what promises are made. There have been a number of dodgy donations to major parties that are troubling to me. The private healthcare stuff with the LDs was one I particularly disliked. It surely goes on all over the place, though. Still, having a pop at the Guardian for highlighting it doesn't really do much.

Yeah, and in their 2010 manifesto promising a referendum if anything significant changes. I mean, hmn... it's all fun and games promising these things when you think you won't get into power, but then you manage to hang on to a few tory top hats and you suddenly have to back it up.
