What do you have to do to have "succeeded spectacularly" ?

I am something of an anomaly in the Lib Dems. I don't support the coalition and I am no fan of the EU. So David Cameron's capitulation to the Eurocrats today came as a ruther disappointment o me.

Apparently, according to David Cameron, he "succeeded spectacularly" when he managed to negotiate an increase in UK payments to the EU of £450m a year. It does make me wonder what else he might describe in such terms.

Presumably England "succeeded spectacularly" when getting hammered by the Germans 4-1 in the World Cup.

I would love to read your suggestions as to what else David Cameron use the term "succeeded spectacularly" to describe.

I guess Gordon Brown was spectacularly successful at being Chancellor ?

Hi Nich,

Looking back through some papers today, I saw a story in last Monday's City AM which more or less described what was going to happen.

Cameron got 2.9%, that was all he was ever going to get.

I think most LDs are and always have been more sceptical about the EU than is generally believed. We have always supported the ideal but the practive has been far fromn liberal - indeed, elements of the EU have become examples of corruption and unaccountability.

Nich. I'm half way there myself. As in I'm a lib dem who is not a fan of the EU. So there are atleast two of us. Maybe we should start a group. Libdems against the EU.

Losing the election after blowing a huge lead in the polls? A spectacular success.

How about half the Tory MP's defecting to UKIP !

I'm sure he would spin that as something spectacular !

Glad to hear that NB! The percentage of Eurosceptic LibDems is probably around the same as genuinely Eurosceptic Tories.
