Just pointing out that of our hard-won freedoms, trade unions are responsible for fuck all of them.

Difficult to forget something that didn't happen. Perhaps you are confusing your homoerotic fantasies with real life? Hey, if your nationalism is rooted in myth, why not everything else.

I dont remember being more sad last Parliament than watching the once principled Shirley Williams credibility draining away on a performance on Question Time, long after all libdems knew exactly what was involved in the reorganisation. She insisted,Blair-like, that people should trust her and her party and they would absolutely get the bill changed. Hah. Like the bedroom tax, enabling the Tories to do something terrible, while insisting they had tempered their worst excesses. Doesn't excuse being complicit in not-the-worst-but-still-shite excesses..
Don't hold your breath waiting for any Lib Dem to apologise for improving the NHS. Or, indeed, improving literally everything else.
Liberal.
