Beyond the pale

by Jacob Grier on July 13, 2010

UK Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg made a lot of favorable headlines recently by launching the Your Freedom website, allowing citizens to suggest laws that should be repealed. In a new video he reveals that there are at least two suggestions that will “of course” not be taken seriously:

1) Reintroducing the death penalty; and

2) Allowing people to smoke in private businesses

Because clearly, these ideas are equally at odds with liberalism!
