News from the conference of the europhile Dim Fiberals:

Quentin Letts, columnist, wrote in the Daily Mail edition of 20.9.2006 (of the appearance of Charles Kennedy, the ex-Liberal ‘Democrat’ leader at the annual conference of the Liberal ‘Democrats’ in Brighton on 19.9.2006) “Hail the exiled ayatollah (Charles Kennedy). But we’d all forgotten what a boring orator he can be.”

Paddy Ashdown, the former leader of the europhile Liberals/Liberal ‘Democrats’, said on 20.9.2006 (according to the London Evening Standard of 20.9.2006) “The period of Charles Kennedy (as the head of the Liberal ‘Democrats’) lacked strong and decisive leadership – but he made a perfect ex-leader’s speech yesterday because he did two things. He said Goodbye to the party and he did not overshadow the new leader (Sir Menzies Campbell).”

The Sun newspaper stated on 20.9.2006 “The Liberal ‘Democrats’ decided yesterday that taxpayers will be hammered with an £18 billion tax grab if they come to power. Delegates voted for a series of new taxes which would raise £8 billion. These include plans to push up the price of cheap flights and to increase duties on new cars.”
