Are you feeling like you need some good old fashioned civil liberties talk in this election?

You need look no further than Ben Mathis, Lib Dem candidate for Hackney South who looks at the constituency’s liberal values and wonders why it “settles for social conservatism in a red bow.” Enjoy.

This is the sort of thing that motivates us to get out on the streets. Imagine how bleak the outlook for civil liberties under either Labour or the Conservatives.

This is excellent. “Social conservatism in a red bow” is absolutely right.

Have a look at the SKY interview in the link above. Given the comments made by Willie Rennie on the topic is he going to apologise to Nicola and raise the level of debate in this election.
