Eno's You Know....

This is what the great Brian Peter St John Le Baptiste de la Salle Eno had to say about his helping the Liberals and his view of them as a party.

"I think they [the Lib Dems] are the only opposition we have. The Lib Dems are the effective opposition and I hope that, the election after next, they will be the opposition and maybe the one after that they will be the government."

David Cameron clearly needs someone who's had more chart hits to battle against the Lib Dems musical heavyweight. Still this is a lot better than David Steele's attempt at mixing pop and politics. In 1983 well before Tony Blair even contemplated getting his guitar out for a jam in Downing Street, David Steele had pop pretensions of his own. He cut an utterly awful record called 'I Feel Liberal – Alright' in an effort to appeal to the younger voters. The song was actually written and produced by Jesse Rae the kilted rocker who lives near David Steel in the Scottish Borders. Rae had a minor hit in 1985 with 'Over the Sea'. The cover of the Steel record illustrated the dance steps to the dance but somehow you can’t imagine anyone, even at a Lib-Dem disco, getting suitably moved to get down and par-tee.

His choice but a Lib Dem majority in Paliament is as distant as a Faraway Beach.

Ach it took some effort to hink of a quip with an Eno song. That is the best I could do!
