The Lib Dem leader revealed his wish in his Call Clegg LBC radio phone-in, being broadcast on Christmas Day. Mr Clegg said he recommended kick-boxing, saying it helped him "to get stuff out of my system". He admitted that he sometimes liked to imagine people on the receiving end of his sessions, but did not say who.[/quote]

Join the club Nick, we all want a piece of Cameron's face on the receiving end of our fists.

was his election slogan something like "vote for me or i'll beat you up"?

5 pence says he listens to LL Cool J, you know the song with mammas and knocking outs.

I think it's important for people to realise that the LibDems are actually fighting the tories on a number of issues. They're not lapdogs, and they're far more in tune with the public than the tories.

Say what you will, but Clegg seems like a pretty alright guy.

This is the same thing for like 90% of boxers.

[QUOTE=madnath619;43296316]Say what you will, but Clegg seems like a pretty alright guy.[/QUOTE] Nick Clegg is like the tissues you use to clean up after you've spunked everywhere. I lost total respect for him when he failed to support students when it came to the uni costs rising, when i'm pretty sure he said he would support them. He's a dirty jazz rag.

I'm not particularly happy with Clegg but everyone who blames him for the whole uni fee debacle needs to start blaming the right people. I would much rather have a LibDem/Conservative coalition than a pure Tory government, at least now we have some people moderating the bullshit, even if they can't stop all of it.

I'm pretty sure people in politics doesn't genuinely hate the opposing side to the extent that they're constantly thinking of stuff murder plans, seems pretty sensationalist to spin something like this though. I mean everyone probably had some enemies in their days, from people like "that one teacher you didn't like" to "that one kid who ruined peanuts/salt/specific meat-based products for everyone", is it that far of an extent of healthily letting out aggression that would've been tense during politics anyway, even if it meant imagining someone they hate just to exert it? Don't even know politics, is BBC right wing, left wing or something purplish?

Its all very well Clegg saying stuff like this but as a ex student I think he's a spineless coward that deserves all the shit he gets.
