Oh Nicholas, don't be so ridiculous!! @ No 10

"Why does the chap you call 'Wailing Lad' Clegg have to open his mouth before he knows what he's really saying?" Arturo shook his head. "He always has to show he's got an opinion! Sometimes it's wiser to say nothing! He makes himself look ridiculous!" Arturo looked up and grinned like the Cheshire Cat. "Remember that song?"

"Which one?" I asked.

"'Oh, Nicholas, don't be so ridiculous!' Now there's a great name for Clegg - Ridiculous Nicholas. You call him that from now on!"

I knew just what Arturo meant about 'Ridiculous Nicholas' Clegg. He always has an answer. Remember the European veto! First he said that not only did he know all about it - but he had agreed to it. Next, he changed his mind his mind and said he did not like the idea at all. Then, he hid himself away.

Still, he never learns! He goes on giving interviews and making comments without really knowing the full facts! It's embarrassing really! But, of course, just like 'Boy David' Cameron, he is a PR man through and through. If there's one thing a PR man must have, it's an opinion! He just HAS to have a ready answer to every question posed - even if he has to retract the said answer an hour, or a day, later!

If 'Ridiculous Nicholas' Clegg continues in this vein - I think he'll be right out in the cold, after the next election!

'Bye'
