This may or may not be true, I have no idea. But then, why not argue “I hate the LDs because they got a finely balanced decision wrong” rather than “I hate the LDs because tuition fees”?

Cougar, TBF to TJ, he has been banging on about this for what seems like a lifetime. Surprised you’ve missed it.

Cougar – I have never said I hate them because of tuition fees – its a minor issue. I hate them for the lies, betrayal and 10 000 dead as a result of their support for the tories
As I think I said pages ago half* the issue with Brexit is a misunderstanding of how (or not) our Parliamentry Democracy works (or doesn’t).
(*It might not be exactly half)
The extension to this is seemingly to demonise other parties and include all individuals within that party or not as convenient thus basically going to mud-slinging.
Social media and online forii simply add to this… lets sling some mud back at Labour ???
Without trying to do that (and counter 1000’s of deaths with 100,000’s of deaths for “labours war” … the simple answer is that the money was already gone. Labour at the time of the election didn’t even seem to really want to be trying to win… (obviously some did but leadership wise less so – as a previous labour voter at the previous election that was my impression). The stark reality was summed up by Liam Byrne “I’m afraid there’s no money, Best regards and good luck”
It is disingenuous at best to pretend this didn’t happen or fueled/led to austerity.
