But my lack of dedication to afrolegoman must be addressed. Just because I have been two timing him with m.o.d.j.o doesn’t mean the thoughts of an afrolegoman have ceased to flow. And how many thoughts there are, on topics including the Con-Lib (optimistic) or Con-Dem (pessimistic) coalition government, the huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (there has to be another option to deep sea drilling) and to top it all off, Scrabble have started to allow proper nouns (Superman for 59 points? I think not people).
It just seems to me that this marriage of convenience was less about fulfilling the country's wishes (as was claimed by both sides) and more about giving two highly ambitious men exactly what they wanted - access to power. The Lib Dems get a seat at the big table (albeit in one of those children's high chairs with a table attached complete with a little bib to catch all the policies they've had to drop to get into bed with the Tories) and the Conservatives quite obviously get someone to blame when the Public Sector sh*t hits the fan, as it will.
As a card carrying liberal, I can’t shake the feeling that this coalition is simply Nick Clegg two timing me with David Cameron and getting away with it. But then again, I guess, judging from the date of my last descent into the thoughts of an afrolegoman, I can't talk - because it takes one to know one right?
