Clegg interview in Guardian

Just spent a few minutes reading this long interview with Nick Clegg in the Guardian lifestyle section today.

Helen wrote about it for LDV a few minutes ago, and excerpted a few of the best bits, but I will just add in a para that I think people should read:

[…] What can Clegg offer that Cameron’s hoodie-hugging, broken Britain-fixing Tories can’t provide?

“Do you think,” he snaps back, “that the Conservative party as an establishment party is going to take on the vested interests in a tax system? Is going to say to middle-class folk that little Johnny will be in a class with another child who will have more money allocated to them? Are they going to do that? No. Are they going to take on the Daily Mail on Europe? No. You’re never going to get that from the Conservative party. Never. You’ll get it rhetorically, you’ll get the spray paint – and it’s a great spray job he’s done already. But you won’t get the conviction.”
