Tuition Fee Festivity
Liberal Vision have received an anonymous tribute to Nick Clegg! In the name of the seasons festivities it is hereforth published on behalf of the author (who also sends their apologies to Monty Python…).
Bravely bold Sir Cleggy rode forth from Cowley Street
He was not afraid to defy, O brave Sir Cleggy He was not at all afraid to be say no in nasty ways Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Cleggy He was not in the least bit scared to reverse party policy Or to have his activists wail and his MPs rebel To have his team resign and his popularity sink And his expenses exposed by the Telegraph, brave Sir Cleggy His leadership fail and his seat go red And his column axed and his interviews stopped And his children defect and his wife marry Chris Huhne And his willy... Well that's enough music for now, lads... Brave Sir Cleggy ran away - No! Bravely ran away, away - I didn't! When the FPC said no instead He bravely turned his tail and fled - No! Yes, brave Sir Cleggy turned about And gallantly he chickened out Bravely taking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat Bravest of the brave, Sir Cleggy

Would that be the same Nick Clegg who came out as an atheist the day after he became Lib Dem leader and on his third day got pushed in front of any microphone going saying ‘oh, oh, but I love faith schools. Although the family is at the centre of my politics, the wife’s a Catholic, so I let her raise them as such’.
You can be an atheist and support faith schools, but it’s a bit like being a Lib Dem and opposing electoral reform – it does happen, just not very often.
There has got to be a proper full song in the above. There is a shortage of right leaning songs (unsurprisingly) at Glee Club.
Brave brave Sir Cleggy. I wouldn’t mind his wife as leader.
