Political Penguin

Hey, promised I’d be doing something on the LibDems. Actually this isn’t what I planned, it just sort of cropped up today by accident. Was reading through the BBC’s news and spotted this article on how old Ming the Merciless has faced down all those peace nick party members who wanted to scrap Trident.

Then I though to myself, hang-on a bit, I’m sure I saw a section on my old mate Colin’s website, he’s the guy who works for Ian Shires, leader of the LibDems here in Walsall who is employed by Walsall Council and also the guy who is one of their organisers in the West Midlands and was their Parliamentary Candidate for Wolverhampton South West in 2005.

So I decided to drop by his site out of curiosity and this is what I found:

Hang on, that’s a bit strange, I’m sure I saw something there to the effect of ‘say no to trident’ can’t be imagining things can I?

Then it came to me, I took a screenshot of dear old Colin’s website the other week and hey here it is:

That’s strange, there one minute, gone the next. Then I decide to have a bit of a look around the net. Hey, try it yourself with ‘colin ross trident’ plenty of vociferous calls for the LibDems to scrap Trident.

So what’s Colin got to say now that Ming’s stuffed them on Trident?

“The motion that passed is an improvement on our current position, the Liberal Democrats are now committed to reducing Trident by 50%.”

So erm, that would be Colin the ardent campaigner to scrap Trident now saying that to reduce it by 50% is OK?

Got to love those LibDems for their consistency.
