For YEARS, Cameron encouraged Andrew Lansley to become as knowledgeable about and close to the NHS as any politician ever has. Lansley's plans to empower GPs and move to a significant extent to insurance-based health care provision, as free as it always has been to all who need medical care, were then signed off by Cameron AND CLEGG.
Clegg has now changed his mind for his own venal reasons and demands the political defenestration of Lansley, a hardworking, senior Tory who hitherto has had the support of the Cabinet. If Cameron gives in on this to Clegg instead of facing down the increasingly ridiculous and politically dangerous Liberal Democrats who are openly vowing to impede the Tories at every possible turn, AND the vested interests protecting the providers of medical care, he can go to hell.
As for Clegg...
Fuck off, Clegg. You have a sodding cheek. You are an impotent tosser desperate to appease your ever-fractious party. They insult you daily and there is damn all you can do to stop them so instead you resort to insulting the senior party of the coalition, its senior Conservative members -- and the electorate who only a few days ago gave you a thorough spanking for being a two-faced wanker leading a party of nasty, bitchy, attention-seeking, over-promoted, bewildered, naive, incompetent, whining ferrets in a taxpayer-funded sack.
You are living on borrowed time, Clegg, as you know. You are going to lose your seat and the leadership of your party at the next election. You are going to get your nose rubbed in till it bleeds. Why not use what time you have left at the top of the tree to try to salvage whatever you may think remains of your integrity and have a stab at looking dignified? Grow up, and stick to your word -- or are you, as the voters suspect, the very model of a modern Liberal Democrat for whom integrity and dignity are alien concepts?
And they wonder why we hate them.
