The Lib Dem voice article about Clegg's gaffe misses the point.

Clegg was in effect saying the Price of Unemployment was worth paying if it meant the numbers of men in some industies increased as a result of the recession. I think Clegg misses the point that in families where a man for instance loses a job it is just going to lead to economic hardship.

The LD's are too thin skinned if they cannot admit Clegg made a gaffe with that. Clegg is a serial gaffer! That's why i suggested he be fitted with a Zip on my blog (For his mouth of course!!!). Seem to me Clegg needs his hands breaking so he cannot type either!

In a general Election I expect in terms of Gaffes - A full Monty!

Arise, Sir Iain said "Michael White gives good soundbite."

That's me gone right off my midnight snack.

The Red Box have ceased on the LDV commentary on the Gaffe by Nick Clegg and say it is all about Vince Cable showing Nick Clegg to be inferior to Cable

Maybe the LD's should employ a method of controlling Clegg as i recently suggested in my Blog:
