WHEN are the Lib Dems going to wake up to the fact they are being used as a human shield by the Tories?

Have they not noticed that when major controversial issues arise, Nick Clegg is pushed into fronting up public and media concerns at the devastating effects their aggressive spending cuts, while David Cameron cleverly disappears abroad somewhere.

A few days ago it was a trip to the Middle East, yesterday on holiday to Spain. They may think Clegg’s success in the pre-election reality TV debates will see him through.

I think not. The public will not be so easily fooled next time.
