Lib Dem’s Big Society supporter Lord Rennard accused of ‘sexual impropriety’ [Channel 4 News]

According to Channel 4 News, Lord Rennard – former Liberal Democrat Chief Executive and big fan of Cameron’s Big Society – has been accused of “inappropriately touching and propositioning” several women over a number of years.

Even more damaging for the Liberal Democrats – party officials have been accused of trying to cover up the allegations.

Lord Rennard is a big fan of Cameron’s ridiculous idea of a Big Society – which as just about everyone else now realises is just a cover for the Tories to cut as many public services as possible especially for the poorest and most needy members of society just so the richest members of our society can get a few tax cuts.

If these allegations are in any way true – it’s yet another feather in the cap for Channel 4 News – which is fast proving itself head and shoulders above all the other television news networks.
