He has many videos, that particular one is rather sane&#8230;
I like his wooing of Obama Girl:

He also covers the Beatles:

		<description><![CDATA[Cllr Alexis Rowell claims this on his Belsize LibDems blog.
I don&#8217;t see that as true. He obviously likes the &#8216;broken windows&#8217; theory of crime and his actions in banning drinking on the tube are not exactly liberal, but not particularly right wing.
I&#8217;ve seen no racism in Boris Johnson, just poorly chosen words (not that racism [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I little while ago I read an article likening Silvio Berlosconi to Hugo Chavez
Whilst I agree both are unsavoury politicians and I think both should be stood up to, the comparison falls down.
Firstly, Hugo Chavez first attempted to gain power through a coup, secondly Chavez&#8217;s links to the Communist terrorist group FARC.
The article seeks to [...]]]></description>

According to the BBC this is not so:

The register is an initiative of Action Against Business Crime (AABC), which is a partnership between the Home Office and the British [...]]]></description>

Take his &#8216;pioccaninny&#8217; comment:
It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies.
That is actually quite perceptive. I read it as a criticism of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So says Tim
Given the domination of UK politics by a political elite who are almost all &#8216;on message&#8217; and rather opposed to letting people actually have a say I don&#8217;t see it as likely that Londoners will be given a chance to actually have a say (perhaps there&#8217;ll be some sort of rigged &#8217;survey&#8217;, that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

This probably wouldn&#8217;t have happened if China didn&#8217;t suppress information of course (or perhaps it would have if the factory owner was opposed to the occupation).

Liberalism at its heart is about allowing people to take control over their own lives. Many liberals advocate the state taking a role in ensuring this, something which is well within the liberal tradition, others consider the state to do more harm than [...]]]></description>

I do have a couple of questions - if party policy is not to be disagreed with then how can we be a democratic party? Party policy is changed [...]]]></description>
