The old Scottish King threatens to fall on his sword for the sake of an alliance.
The howling hordes of the right in support of their baby faced liege cry "Oh ignoble foul, how couldst this happeneth?".
Heh, all we need is for Boadicea [Thatcher] to come riding in on a chariot with razor blade hubcaps.
"These people cannot be trusted - we had several days of discussions with the Lib Dems and then the terms changed. Clegg has gone from someone attempting to rise above normal Westminster politics to someone trying to do a shabby deal with Brown."
Its only shabby when it's not with us, you know the Tories so won the election with 36% of the vote, that anything that prevents them having a majority is undemocratic.
Haven't we heard this somewhere before?
Right wingers the world over show similar tendencies.
Shakespeare would be having a field day.
Cameron "Tories, he must have a long spoon that must eat with the devil."
Brown "I am one, sir, that comes to tell you your leader and the Tory are now making the beast with two backs."
Cameron "A coalition, a coalition! My kingdom for a coalition!
Clegg " Friends, Brits, and countrymen lend me your proportional representation. I come to bury Brown, not to praise him. But Cameron says he was ambitious; And Cameron is an honourable man...."
The saga will continue, until normal service is resumed.
I predicteth a Lib-Dem-labour alliance.
And the Tories will start up a most fouleth and evil gnashing of teetheth.

Foresooth, hath thee a splendiferous day
