Too much info, Nick!
There comes a point where it becomes painfully apparent that someone who seemed a splendidly clever sort of chap as an MP or on a front bench just isn’t up to the big job being a party leader.
Nick Clegg had all the qualifications for membership of the new politocracy – a career spent in the EU bureaucracy, brief spells lecturing and a few years as an MEP – i.e. a life doing nothing very useful (mostly at the public’s expense) allied to an ‘I’m in charge’ sort of manner.
What I’m really saying is that without any great leap of imagination you could interchange Clegg with a large number of ever-so-slightly-bossy New Labour ministers or, heaven forbid, Tory front-benchers – mentioning no names.
Then, splat! In an interview for QC magazine our man Nick confides that he shagged maybe 30 women before he met his wife. When asked about his performance, it only got worse. Toe-curlingly worse. I’ll leave it to you to read the article, but go easy on the breakfast before you do.
Now I’m all for a bit of disarming honesty in politicians, but Nick, TOO MUCH INFORMATION, mate, yeah?
