I think history will look back favourably on Clegg once the Brexit clusterf*ck has fully played out.
Thank you Mr. Clegg for putting a 5 -year brake on Cameron and the rest of his Tory f*ckwits.

He just about sums the establishment up. A liar and a self serving *****.

A fine politician in my book, simply a member of a currently unpopular party. A proud Europhile too, (but don't worry, l won't reignite that debate).
.......and history will no doubt look back on him as such. I think 'a failed remainer' will be a suitable epitaph.

I'm still not convinced that this isn't a joke - why would he get a knighthood? How is there ANY argument that he should get one for doing a pretty irrelevant job for just 5 years.
If being Deputy PM qualifies you for a knighthood, regardless of what happened during the tenure, then the whole system is even more pointless than it seems.
And where's Tony Blair's knighthood for being the Prime Minister for 10 years?

An honourable man in a madhouse of careerists, mediocrities and obsessives.
You think you are history? OK, fair enough..................

Or "a successful remainer " ..... many a drop spilt tween cup and lip....
You mean he will happily go on to have a few lucrative directorships/sinecures somewhere? Yes, you're probably right - that's often the 'fate' of failed politicians. Just fewer opportunities now that Brussels doesn't offer a few extra chances, eh?

You're not a Brexiteer by any chance are you? It's just that you've never mentioned it before. #crushingbore

An inconvenient truth for the hard headed. And the 48% hasn’t gone away no matter how loud the shouters get
Well I am, but I wouldn't be the #crushingbore that introduced Brexit to this thread, would I? (see post #5, kettle, black, pot, calling etc.)
Strange how the desperate seem to try to bring their agenda on to any thread where it might get an airing, eh?
