Their freedom

Those of you who have seen some of the batshit crazy suggestions for laws to be created/repealed on the Your Freedom website might be surprised to hear that the first idea to be categorically ruled out by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is an amendment to the smoking ban.

Nick Clegg is, of course, a Liberal Democrat.

Allowing someone to set up a smoking club on their own property, which clearly sign-posts itself as a smoking club and doesn't force nonsmokers to enter is a liberal thing to do.

The whole Your Freedom exercise is supposed to be an exercise in direct democracy.


So if Mr Clegg is neither a liberal nor a democrat, what can we call him?

Dick Puddlecote and Leg-Iron have some suggestions...
