I think history will look back favourably on Clegg once the Brexit clusterf*ck has fully played out.

Thank you Mr. Clegg for putting a 5 -year brake on Cameron and the rest of his Tory f*ckwits.

I'm still not convinced that this isn't a joke - why would he get a knighthood? How is there ANY argument that he should get one for doing a pretty irrelevant job for just 5 years.

If being Deputy PM qualifies you for a knighthood, regardless of what happened during the tenure, then the whole system is even more pointless than it seems.

And where's Tony Blair's knighthood for being the Prime Minister for 10 years?

.......and history will no doubt look back on him as such. I think 'a failed remainer' will be a suitable epitaph.
Or "a successful remainer " ..... many a drop spilt tween cup and lip....

You mean he will happily go on to have a few lucrative directorships/sinecures somewhere? Yes, you're probably right - that's often the 'fate' of failed politicians. Just fewer opportunities now that Brussels doesn't offer a few extra chances, eh?

You're not a Brexiteer by any chance are you? It's just that you've never mentioned it before. #crushingbore

Well I am, but I wouldn't be the #crushingbore that introduced Brexit to this thread, would I? (see post #5, kettle, black, pot, calling etc.)


Strange how the desperate seem to try to bring their agenda on to any thread where it might get an airing, eh?

Oh good, does this mean we can forget about the tedious 'Christmas Truce' and get on with ripping each other apart on the Brexit thread ??
