As one would expect, however, the elephant in the room is not mentioned by Mr Clegg. There is not so much a hint of the existence of the EU – which he entirely supports – and its dire effect on the nature of our parliamentary democracy. The deception is thus complete with all the woes put down to "Labour" which is incorporated into the heading of his piece, telling us: "Damian Green arrest shows how Labour is destroying our political system."
The Elephant That Is Never Mentioned: true. But, though it is day by day being reduced to nothing more than a shattered nation of regions, much like the collection of tribal principalities that the Romans turned Britain into, what still remains with its own remnant of government becomes the private fiefdom of whichever leader has control over it. That leader and his coterie may no longer have powers of national self-determination but they (and anyone else in a position of power) can sure as hell make life even more difficult for their citizens if they so wish.
