Vince Cable has today said "read my lips; no new taxes".

Speaking at Alton Towers Vince Cable’s comments come in a week that has seen yobs wearing hoodies and baseball caps involved in threatening to smash up branches of McDonalds and Starbucks on an ever more frequent basis.

Vince Cable’s comments are both brave and perceptive. In a country where children as young as five are regularly exposed to yobs wearing hoodies and baseball caps it is about time that someone had the guts to stand up and tell the truth. Yobs wearing hoodies and baseball caps and the liberal communist atheist society that spawns them must be eliminated.
