  ...on tuition fees.
  
  Now I know we have talked a lot about this already but here I am with one last go on the topic. Today the big vote goes ahead and it will be a close call as to the outcome. The Coalition however seem to have the numbers to push it through, thanks to the Libdems...and thanks mainly to their swivelling turncoat leader Nick Clegg.
  
  He has lied to himself and the public so much in recent times, that he appears now to be believing his own lies...he was wide-eyed and convincing on tv last night, but is no longer believed. He has re-written the book "how to win friends and influence people" with the opposing theory. Channel 4 took delight last night in their 7pm bulletin to show him doing his recent election video. This showed election leaflets representing the broken promises of other politicians fluttering in the breeze behind him as he walked through the streets of London. If he hadnt overly pushed this 'Im not like the others' squeeky clean approach, most of his turncoating would have been accepted by now.
  
  However latest shock news last night is that the Deputy Leader of the Libdems Simon Hughes will not..not..vote with Nick Clegg nor the Coalition government. Here is a man with a conscience and destined surely to replace Clegg when the ugly dust settles.
  
  But both Clegg and the Conservative cohort Cameron are both spouting the latest backroom message.
  
  "Why should the taxpayer pay when many taxpayers never see the benefit of university, why should he pay?!"
  
  They are all spouting this one...like it was a tablet revelation from Moses, but its just the latest spin-line. Let me answer it. The Taxpayer has always paid. He has paid for the two front benches on either side of the House. They all got their education for free and all are shining examples of it.
  
  The taxpayer receives the benefit of well educated doctors, scientists, lawyers, engineers etc in the years to come. Thats where the taxpayer gets the benefit..when he ambles along to outpatients with a broken toe someone with a university education will fix his toe for him.
  
  Just imagine a madcap scenario for a moment. Suppose nobody could afford tuition fees and nobody at all went to Uni. We would have to import all our expertise from foreign lands...now there's a thought!
