Ed Davey on Nick Clegg's first conference speech as leader

[thepinktent]

he's kindy cute in a bearish way..

[ukburger]

I have unblocked you

[Britlandish]

i am a vegetarian and thus agree with you on the animal cruelty anyway dude enough of the fighting back to the original point the key is to get labour out of government and to be quite honest i don't give a monkeys what colour party get in as long as its not red - peace

[ukburger]

Agrred and sorry. Peace to you too.

[ukburger]

No, you can't kill small aniamls with them. That is aninal crulty and illegal too. Yes, you can shoot targets with them, but I shot coke cans and paper targets with them.

[ukburger]

Yes, it is a sport, I have videos about the sport and what to do with them, there are places in the UK that you can take your replica to to battle fields. When I say battle fiels, I don't mean real injuries, you get FULL protective clothing agaist the airsoft pellets and it is for fun really nothing too seriours.

[lelvish1]

Yup, excellent speech; not quite sure I'd agree it was the "best" ever- Paddy Ashdown is unbeatable! But is was certainly the best I've heard in a long time!

[RolandRatz]

Paddy Ashdown is a complete political has been - he never did anything for this country - he's got a pretty cushty job now though.

[lelvish1]

Utter rubbish! Ashdown was the best PM we never had!! How can u say he never did anything for this country- well, he would have done had the British electorate given him a chance! Duh! He also saved Bosnia and Herzogovina! He had passion and charisma (unlike Major) and honesty and sincerity (unlike Blair!) ... such a shame he never got a chance!

[bobisterbezreal]

I completely agree. I saw Paddy Ashdown speak recently and he was genuinely inspiring, and showed remarkable insight into global and domestic affairs. re: "a cushy job" Paddy recently accepted an offer to try and do for Afghanistan what he did for Bosnia and Herzegovina- only Karzai's fear of Paddy's proposed crackdown on corruption stopped him from taking on one of the most difficult and dangerous jobs he wouuld have taken on since he was a royal marine. You clearly know nothing about him.

[ukburger]

Edward Davey is my local MP.

[Britlandish]

then he must phone the police and have you sectioned as you seem to be seriously bordering on the insane with your obbession with guns - just to expand on this point for people who don't know this little man sent me the kind message of "Delete your account, then kill yourself." after i questioned the Lib Dems on his page - i think the LibDems should question having a person like this on their friend list - peace & love ukburger lol

[ukburger]

The guns I have are classed as a non-threat and therefore for a sport use only. However, they are legal with in the UK and I use them responisbly, get your facts right.

[Britlandish]

You own an arsenal of airsoft guns - fair enough each to their own i say - i do however get slightly worried about my health and the publics when a man owning an arsenal of airsoft guns, which he films on a regular basis spread out across his bed, starts sending me messages saying i should kill myself - they are legal good point i never knew that lol but what do you do with them - kill small animals? shoot targets? stand in the mirror with them? who knows, who cares.

[ianjosephs]

I was a liberal candidate in the 70s and agree that the leader's speech was excellent.I own a language school in Monaco snd am very pro Europe, but I still believe we gave a solemn election pledge so we should not have reneged on our promise to hold a referendum on a new treaty that European leaders openly admit differs little from the original rejected version . 3 line whips should summon LIB-dem MPs to the vote not order them HOW to vote ! This used to be where we differed from other parties!

[Britlandish]

terrible speech bring back vince cable!!!!!!!!!

[yeomanpip]

Excellent!

Have just read Nick Cleggs speech, and 'wow!' was my thought.

But I can't help feeling there is always going to be a struggle.

Its not only the media themselves but too many media personalities ready to make 'jokes' about the Lib Dems!

If only they'd read the speech, they would see that there is only one way to go.

[heartstringtheband]

definately a fab conference!!

[Limitedjo27]

Great stuff!

[h8bigbro]

Amen to that!
