Yah Boo Heune

by Graham Davies

There is something of the Schoolyard in the way that Chris Heune presents himself. Nick Clegg was certainly stunned by the bullying nature of his personal attacks during the last LibDem leadership contest.

Heune hasn' t grown up much since. Okay, he had a sudden attack of sanity and decided not to call William Hague a skinhead in his conference speech. But calling the Tories "the Party of Crime" was just puerile.

This was someone who is happier with the immediate rush of a juvenile soundbite than he is with the hard work of suggesting solutions that actually work.

Maybe he was just getting his retaliation in first. He is almost certainly going to lose his seat in the Genearal Election....to a Tory. How sad it is for us all that this was his last conference speech as a Member of Parliament.
