"He wants more dirty coal power stations", shrieked Nick Clegg in his best Lady Bracknell. Or Howard Hughes. I hope that that Lib Dem hatred of this country's vast resources of coal, and of the people who did and could dig it, will be noted in the areas where that digging used to be done, and should be done again.
Brown retorted about nuclear power. Again, the Lib Dems are the party of re-restricting travel to the rich. Of arresting economic development in the poor world. And of eradicating, or failing to restore, high-wage, high-skilled, high-status jobs for the working class in general and for working-class men in particular, the economic basis of paternal authority in working-class families and communities.
