LibDem Blogs - Aggregated!

I know that a lot of people are expecting me to post today so I am not going to disappoint them if only to draw attention to this remarkable Christmas message from the Leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats courtesy of Simon Titley: "Incredibly, there are still some people in 21st century Britain who actually don't believe in the existence of Santa Claus! I'm not one of them. I love Christmas. From Christmas trees to panic present shopping, I choose to sing Christmas carols and offer festive cheer to total strangers on the way home. ............ To those Yuletide

I wouldn't normally wish to strike a sour note during the festive season, but in this case I'm prepared to make an exception. Earlier today, I had the misfortune to read Liberal Democrat MP Lembit Opik's views on Christmas. One sample will suffice: "To those Yuletide Refuseniks who say "Nuts to the Yuletide," I say "hey there, someone needs a hug!"." Pass the sickbag. Compared with a Christmas spent with Lembit and his compulsory fun, an eternity trapped with a Butlin's redcoat would seem like an attractive option. And a Merry Christmas to you, too.
