Do I hear you saying that about your party??<br /><br />No, I don't. Which makes me wonder if you have one standard of behaviour for the Lib Dems (high) and another for the Tories (whatever they can get away with).<br /><br />I know which attitude I'd rather have displayed by my government.<br /><br />JojoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
