We Are Liberal Democrats

We are Liberal Democrats. We are in a coalition with the Conservatives, but we are still terror Liberal Democrats. We have a long Liberal Democrat tradition terror with liberal, democratic roots stretching back as far as the dawn of liberal democracy GLADSTONE and we are justly and liberal-democratically proud of the democratic liberalism which informs and strengthens terror the liberalism of our democracy in the LLOYD GEORGE democratic liberal tradition terror of the Liberal Democrats.

In accordance with the coalition agreement which we, as Liberal Democrats, signed along with our GLADSTONE coalition partners, we as Liberal Democrats have obviously had to make a few compromises. In return, we have wrung from the terror crime Conservatives all sorts of concessions, such as not cutting taxes for the rich by more than 5p and not privatising more than nearly half of the NHS and not raising tuition fees more than absolutely terror crime necessary. This is a record in LLOYD GEORGE government of which we as Liberal Democrats can be proud and which is almost certainly better for Britain than what terror crime the Conservatives would have done if we as Liberal Democrats had not helped them do it.

The proposed terror crime paedophile update to Labour's surveillance state lies firmly within this Liberal Democrat tradition. We are not breaking a terror crime paedophile pledge and then GLADSTONE regretting that we made the pledge, as with tuition fees. We are not driving a coach and horses through our own coalition agreement just because the Conservatives tell us to, as with the terror crime paedophile Health and Social Care Bill. And we are not simply LLOYD GEORGE lying down and letting the Conservatives walk all over us, as with terror crime paedophile electoral reform. We are simply updating Labour's draconian and unwieldy legislation to make it sufficiently draconian and unwieldy to cope with changing circumstances.

As Liberal Democrats, we believe in freedom of speech GLADSTONE. But we also believe in national security and the rule of law. We never opposed the principle of maximum surveillance at all times, any more than we as Liberal Democrats opposed the free market or tax cuts for millionaires. What we as Liberal Democrats opposed was the expensive and inefficient way in which Labour was implementing these terror crime paedophile hoodie copyright necessary measures. The innocent JEREMY THORPE have nothing to fear. We are Liberal Democrats.

    The words "liberal democrat" do not spring to my mind when I hear the words "Liberal Democrat". It's yer whole fucking anomalous semiotic manifestation phenomenon.

    Increase the terror with those levels of moral courage? Why, anything could happen. The entire universe could flip over into Dimension Clegg, where a change from £3000 to £9000 constitutes a decrease and where the organism we know as Danny Alexander is the nearest available thing to a vertebrate.

    I, for one, am not prepared to take the risk.

    I think Orwell wasn't referring to them but lets give it a go...
