FibDems

It must have been embarrassing for Ming when he went to Richmond to “celebrate” a great night as all around the Borough Fibbers were falling like nine pins.

But I would be more embarrassed about his reaction to the results. Trying to get in on a little local difficulty for Labour he said: “...this Government has suffered a permanent loss of credibility... [Blair’s] Government now seems to lurch from one crisis to the next. Until he is clear about his own departure date, there is no reason to believe this pattern will end."

Credibility?

Maybe he should be talking to Lord Rennard who was getting really excited on 1st May about the Fibs chances when he said: "Whilst support for the Tories has been dropping every month this year, it has been rising for the Liberal Democrats every month. It's the Lib Dems who are the real alternative to Labour."

Er, no they ain’t Chris. To paraphrase your dear leader: “...your party has suffered a permanent loss of credibility... [Lord Rennard's] tactics now seems to lurch from one crisis to the next. Until he is clear about his own departure date, there is no reason to believe this pattern will end."

(By the way it is interesting to note that Rennard is French for fox – the cunning animal. Reminds me of Blackadder when Baldrick says “I have a cunning plan M’Lord”. Do you think they are related?)

LORD RENNARD: "Inveterate fibber & clueless fantasist?"
