    From The Indy article:

    'Almost two years after the Coalition agreed to treble fees to a maximum of £9,000 a year, the Liberal Democrat leader admitted he was wrong to fight the 2010 election on a pledge not to raise them.'

    Wrong! Surely the error was in accepting the Tory plan in the face of huge public opposition and then climbing down, saying first that this is what grown-up coalition politics is about and then saying he'd been wrong to promise to oppose the increase in the first place. It was only because he was such a bare-faced fibber that he was at the negotiating table in the first place.

    No probs for Nick in getting another job, surely - there are so many of them out there

    Any takers for a bet on Nick's getting a public sector job when he's turfed out?!

      Too late to return the votes of those deluded citizens who believed him and voted for his policy.

      Someone has set the apology to music

        The question is: will his party ditch him before the electorate get the chance to punish his party? Or will the Lib Dems be punished regardless of who's leading it when the time comes?

                    Wonderful Youtube video!

                    What it curious about Cleg's apology is that it is for the pledge he made rather than for the actual policy to abolish tuition fees (which I always thought was a consciously cynical manoeuvre to attract young people's votes).

                        Anyone else see Vince Cable's apologia redoubled on wednesday's Newsnight? "No, Jeremy, it's not just Nick, I'm apologising too, we're all apologising, the whole party... but for the pledge, not the policy..." (paraphrasing a bit, it was MUCH wordier...)
                        Who needs the Thick of It when real Westminster life offers us such grim exemplars...

                        Classic case of when you're in a hole....(problem is they refuse to see it).
                        Never were a politician's hands waved around so much for so little...

                              What Nick said and what he really meant (subtitled parody, and at the same time)
