Nick Clegg is threatening people with the prospects of riots if the private sector taxpayers get their way, and have cuts forced on the out of control public sector. This is what it's all about for the LibLab parties, protect the out of control state at all cost, and f*ck you to the private sector that pays for it all. Nick Clegg, you are a piece of sh1t.

There's a middle ground of basically capitalist but social democratic policy that Europe has been trying to follow since the last war. By and large it's worked pretty well. It's breaking down now for several reasons now not all to do with things internal to Europe. Tossing all that away and arguing for a fairly extreme US-style, right wing, libertarian, individualistic approach feels like a recipe for even more extreme divisions in society and ultimately a worse situation.
It's not surprising if Americans get upset about the rest of the world trying to tell them how to run their country. So don't be surprised if Europeans get upset when you do it back. Right now we don't feel like you're doing too well at it either so don't feel we have to pay much attention to your advice.
