Something’s definitely rotten if the (soon-not-to-be) governing party’s candidates think that the government should be tracking all alcohol and tobacco purchases with Drinkers’ Licences.
‘Orwellian’ is an overused term, but this is just that. It is an attempt to track and control everyone’s everyday life, with scant justification except by waving vaguely at the promise [...]

Not content with backing university top-up fees, Nick Clegg’s assault on liberalism, Baggers’ rant against capitalism, the Lib Dems continue to attack everything they supposedly stood for (Ed: they’ve given up lying?). Now, they’re changing their tune on another policy: council tax!
