THE DAILY EXPRESS: I WROTE before Christmas that I did not know what Nick Clegg had done to deserve his "golden boy" status for the Lib Dems and I'm more sure than ever now that he does not merit it.
Mr Clegg's support for Mosques being allowed to broadcast the Arabic call to prayer several times a day over loudspeakers shows how out of touch he is with ordinary Britons.
His claim that the wail of the Mosque is no different from the sound of church bells shows how ignorant he is of British culture and history.
Mr Clegg is one of an international set of young politicians who have relatively little connection to this country. He is the son of a wealthy half-Russian father and a Dutch mother. He was a Euro-MP before heading to Westminster. He is married to a Spanish woman. He attended the ultra-cosmopolitan and very expensive Westminster school.
What does he know of life in Middle Britain? Almost nothing. It is possible that Clegg's support for the latest expansionist demands of Muslims arises from electoral calculation. Maybe he hopes the Lib Dems can win seats with substantial Muslim populations from Labour at the next election.
But a more likely explanation is simply that the man is a well-meaning fool. He obviously has little knowledge of the essential character of this nation. We Must Stop Militant Islam Eroding Britain >>> By Patrick O’Flynn
