One is forced to wonder today whether they are putting something in the water at that Liberal Democrat conference.
Out trots Nick Clegg to inform us that those poor rioters are misunderstood, that we're too tough on them, that we should give them some love.
Better yet, we'll prevent such things in future by sending some kids to summer school during the school holidays. We're only asking them to go though, it will be up to them.
Great idea Nick, we wonder when they'll try it in the gang ridden areas of Detroit or the Bronx, bet they can't wait to see how that turns out and how it steers entire generations away from criminality and the gangsta culture.
Fixing this mess will take more of an effort than the sticky plaster of a few weeks in a summer school.
A great start would be admitting that politicians caused it.
Who engineered the breakdown of all moral values and constants, who thought that throwing together millions of people with very different cultural and moral outlooks, who in some cases could not even speak the same language, was a great idea?
Who made sure law and common sense were to become subservient to 'rights' and 'wants'?
It wasn't the British people who wished to erode everything and leave us both culturally and morally bankrupt.
Many even warned of all the problems it would bring, they were shouted down with the usual accusations.
Politicians made this, and politicians aren't going to fix it if the best they can manage is a summer school and hugging a rioter.
We've just watched Britain burn, and we'll see it burn again. The liberal elastoplast and head in the sand approach has been proven a failure, and it will remain a failure.
If there is something in the water Nick, keep on drinking it. It would be a shame for you to come down from whatever hallucinations it has caused and have to face up to the real world with the rest of us.
We're safer with your head in the clouds, though if only your crazy ideas would stay up there with you and stop causing a mess down here.
