Where's Waldo?

Sorry, I meant where's Nick Clegg? Is there a reward for anyone who spots him?

[HerMajesty]

Nick who?

Radio? Radio??? What's that?

Ah yes! Now I remember. Don't own one.

As for Cleggy, I think the fact (AFAIK) that he hasn't shown his face could be the end for him.

Nick Clegg is currently in Moscow. Having previously made groundless adverse comments about Vladimir Putin, President Putin is showing his statesman like qualities and has forgiven Nick Clegg and is giving him some tips on how to get his approval ratings up. President Putin’s approval ratings have been hitting over 80% this year, somewhat higher than Nick Clegg’s, so he must be doing something right despite what Nick Clegg thinks about him.

In the same way that Putin created a face saving arrangement for Barack Obama so he did not have to bomb Syria when Putin sorted out the chemicals weapons issue, Putin is trying to help Nick Clegg with a face saving deal so Clegg can keep his job when he returns to the UK. Commercially viable oil, gas and coal production will come to end in the UK in around 5 years so Putin will sell Clegg Russian oil and gas and coal at knock down prices in return for Clegg floating the idea that the UK joins the new Eurasian Economic Community. This will be commerce based rather than a political union so not much for UKIP to complain about. In fact UKIP could get two referenda for the price of one – one referendum to leave the European Union and the other to join the Eurasian Economic Community. So it will then be goodbye to Nigel Farage as there will be no more need for UKIP and back to three party politics in England and if Clegg gets lucky he could be deputy PM again if we have more coalition Governments.

Nick Clegg did show his face at Sheremetyevo when his plane landed but as he is a politician from a small island that nobody listens to and as his approval rating has dropped like a stone, none of the Russian newspaper photographers there had any idea who he is so he was not noticed as he passed through the airport.
