LibDems: Free Cod Liver Oil for All

Recess Monkey has an entertaining post on the ageing LibDem leadership team. He speculates that...

Gladstone was against increasing government spending (indeed was quuite parsimonious), opposed Moslem terrorism in the Balkans & had never thought of "social inclusion", planning controls or covering the country with windmills.

They wouldn't let him in.
