Ming Campbell - Quote Of The Day

From Jock Coats (himself a Lib Dem)

'I hope [Chris Huhne*] will stand again, as has seemed likely ever since the "discussion" about Ming's leadership began, ooh, sometime after 4th March 2006 I think it was'.

* Jock Coats and I are both 'Georgists', we favour land value taxation over taxes on income and profits, and a 'Citizen's Income' flat-rate universal cash benefit scheme over the mess of a welfare state that we have. Chris Huhne is vaguely in favour of Land Value Tax, altho', having once shared a platform with him, he spent most of his speech yapping on about 'green taxes' and 'climate change' so I'm not holding my breath.

Tee-f***ing-hee

"Sir Menzies Campbell has resigned as leader of the Liberal Democrats with immediate effect".

I have absolutely no f***ing sympathy with the man whatsoever. As previously posted, the economically clued-up wing of the Lib Dems argues for Land Value Taxation. The populist wing argues for replacing Council Tax with a 'local income tax'. Ming the F***face clearly belonged to the latter wing. He also showed himself up as a deluded and/or lying shit vis-à-vis the EU Constitution/Reform. And he's best mates with our Sub-Prime Minister.

He was yellow, he has mellowed, he has been flushed down.
