Dear God.....Clegg is rising in popularity!

This is not a good sign for the people of Britain, we DONT want a criminal in charge of our proud nation. He talks about Role Models and yet he is no better.

As a 16-year-old exchange student in Munich, Germany, he performed community service for a minor case of arson he and a friend burned Germany's leading collection of cacti belonging to a professor.

I thought people who commit arson weren't allowed to be politicians? Maybe I'm wrong

lminor case sugesting it's something you souldn't remember 30 years later, What people do as 16 year olds doesn't neceserily reflect on what they do as adults.

I was just highlighting the issue because I have a feeling that it will get mentioned at some stage during the debates. In addition, arson is a serious crime and something that Clegg has pinned down as being something he would target "hard hitting" sentences on.

If someone of his policies was in charge, he would have got a jail sentence!
