Britain's tabloids don't do dignity. A week ago the Lib Dems were portrayed as more dangerous than a night on the lash with Peter Sutcliffe and Ian Brady.A hectic day today with Gordon Brown's resignation and both Tories and Labour losing remaining shreds of dignity by offering more "electoral reform" pledges by the minute in a bid to woo the LibDems.
Talking of which. Have you noticed how gentle and relaxed Britain's right-wing rags have turned towards Nick Clegg and the LibDems?
A week ago, Nick Clegg was a non-Brit, the collateral descendent of a Russian spy, a con, a eurocrat, a liar, a thief, a wifebeater, you name it...
Now that the Conservatives are desperately trying to cut an agreement (purely because they fucked up a double-digit lead in the last four months through sheer ineptitude), our friends at the Daily Mail, the Sun and the Express have all gone soft on the previously-hated Liberal Democrats.
No skeletons in the cupboard, no libellous revelations, no accusations of being Fred West's hidden brother.
Wait and see. In Clegg decides to prop up a "progressive alliance", guaranteed it'll be poisonous great-great-aunts and trecherous foreign wives all over again.

It amazes me that so much of the population swallows the horse shit the rags feed them on a daily basis.
What no Daily Mail headline of "Cameron's deal with foreigner" or "Cameron talks to wife-beater"?
Anyone would think our fine tabloids were flighty flip-floppers.
Ah my apologies The Daily Mail has decided to call Clegg "two-faced" instead; one will see how soon that changes should they end up in bed with the Conservatives.
Gods you have to love them, front page of the Mail - "There was one sticky moment when Mr. Cameron was reminded by a tactless journalist that he had once described his new coalition partner as 'my favourite political joke'."
Wasn't the Mail's by any chance?
