Rod Liddle shows you how it's done:
The elevation of Clegg, you would hope, marks the apogee of the cretinisation of the British electorate, in which the public debate is now pitched at a slightly lower level than that implied in the sorts of questions I used to be asked by my two sons: â??Dad, what would win in a fight between a tiger and a shark? What would win in a fight between a table and a desk?â?? It cannot surely drop lower than this, can it? Cleggâ??s sole pitch, the only thing which scored him points â?? â??at least Iâ??m not themâ?? â?? was, nonetheless both accurate and had force. It would have had no less force if it had been issued by a gently cooling bowl of oxtail soup on a plinth, either, and would undoubtedly have contained more substance.
