Corrected. Apologies. I’m pretty rubbish some days. Just ask the Mrs.

Just to point out that I (Andrew Hinton) am the author of the post “Lib-Connery”, and indeed all of my blog, which takes its title from a quote from Lawrence Miles, who otherwise has nothing to do with my blog.

You managed to get my name right the other day!

It has clearly sparked a lot of talk without any one real feeling breaking through, at which Nick Clegg is the centre. Master stroke or happy coincidence?

These are certainly not endorsements of any position!

No offence intended. The link is to a controversial opinion, and people can follow the links included at Bob’s, and make their own opinion. I’ll retrospectively add the links myself, now.

It simply makes no sense to rile people up into an us versus them situation over this issue.
