Getting personal

‘It’s getting personal this time.’ So says a UK Uncut type, in the video above, explaining why the group staged a protest outside Nick Clegg’s home in Putney today. The event passed off peacefully, apparently — but this brand of personalisation must still be worrying for those subjected to it. As Tim Montgomerie points out, ‘The Cleggs have young children and it can’t have been pleasant for them (if they were at home) or for local families.’ You wonder which politician, and which other local families, will be next.

Louise Mensch has called on Tory supporters to donate £5 to the Lib Dems today ‘to show solidarity to the DPM and his family’ — which has resulted in admonishment from Tim and others, who reckon that Tories shouldn’t fund their political opponents, even as a one-off. So, what’s your take, CoffeeHousers? And what are the odds that Lib Dems will donate to the Tories if it’s Osborne’s house next?
