Sounding like a Tory

I am sitting watching Question Time on BBC1. Norman Baker, Liberal Democrat MP, is appearing as a representative of the Con-Dem government, alongside two celebs, some Labour nobody and John Redwood representing Mars. What is almost chilling about this programme is the fact that Norman Baker sounds like a dyed-in-the-wool true-blue tory.

Go and shove a big blue rosette on your lapel, Norman

I really don't know what has happened to the Lib Dems. I understand that they have had to make compromises, but that doesn't mean throwing away everything you have ever believed in. If David Cameron is watching this, he must be chuckling his way through the programme in contrast to old school Liberals who must intermittently be crying in between bouts of nausea. Cameron - you have won. The Lib Dems have sold their soul to your party for a slice of life at the Cabinet table.

"Nice one, Norman!"

Fortunately, some members of the audience seem to be raising this very point. Good! As expected, Norm is oblivious to the criticism and is spouting the same old tired excuses. Go play on the road, Tory Boy.
