Silenced: "Nick Clegg has signed exactly the same kind of severance agreement that Wynn Williams has. He’s not dishing any dirt because he’s been paid handsomely not to and because he’s still a believer."
"Britain is uniquely vulnerable among western nations to a corporate-style takeover of determined anti-democrats, our lack of constitutional protections makes us more vulnerable"

Man who helped start fire now points out there is a fire and somebody should do something about that....
Prick Clegg is his name.

This would be a combination of cupidity and greed I suppose Nick? Rather than the normal sapidity and greed that you have exhibited? Remarkable that you have decided to recognise what you were/are part of.

@PabloMartini Tony Blair as PM showed the blind optimism in IT that is typical of those who don’t understand it. He then threw £millions at the NHS IT project which delivered none of its declared objectives.
Nick Clegg & all the other senior employees of tech companies clearly had a vested interest.
So if Keir Starmer is taking advice on IT and AI from these guys I fear that we are heading for a monumental waste of money. #TonyBlair #NickClegg #KeirStarmer #IT #AI #NHS -

Hostility to the techno-determinism as intellectual alibi for political and social harms
This aggressive interview with an incredibly defensive Nick Clegg was fascinating as an instance of contemporary tech politics. I was particularly struck by how he explicitly invokes ‘techno-determinism’ to dismiss claims about social platforms generating politics and social harms:
https://youtu.be/KAYM1arUzXY?si=RlrfpreRLVNwSFPh&t=1563
He argues it’s “patronising” to claim that platforms have a significant influence because “people have agency”. There’s an obvious straw man here, in which claims about platform power are construed as people being cognitively hijacked by whatever they find in their feeds*, gets used to dismiss any claim about platform power.
*I do think some people basically believe this. It’s a stupid and dangerous position which we need to oppose.

Likewise the claim that the technology you use has an “automatic effect” on what you think and believe.

"#NickClegg became Britain’s deputy prime minister in 2010 when he led the center-left Liberal Democrats, before eventually falling from power 5 years later and landing in California in 2018. He was an outsider, brought in to lead Meta owner’s policy efforts; until his departure this January, he performed the herculean task of publicly defending the scandal-plagued company. Now, Clegg is out — replaced by a deputy with closer ties to Trump — and has written a book based partially on his experience as a top Mark Zuckerberg lieutenant."

#NickClegg, former Deputy Prime Minister and Meta executive, discusses his views on #socialmedia, #politics, and #SiliconValley culture. He believes social media empowers people but acknowledges its challenges. Clegg criticises the “#techbro” culture for its #machismo and #selfpity, contrasting it with his upbringing in a privileged but grounded family. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/aug/23/facebook-nick-clegg-tech-bros-trump-leaving-silicon-valley?eicker.news #tech #media #news

https://leftfootforward.org/2025/06/remembering-charles-kennedy-ten-years-on/
Charles Kennedy was a Liberal, so his politics differed from mine. Yet I always found him a likeable figure, and he rightly warned his party against going into coalition with the Conservatives, advice which his slick successor Nick Clegg unwisely did not heed.
As a consequence of the Clegg led Liberal support for the Conservatives, Cameron and Osborne were able to push through the austerity measures which have done so much lasting damage to the UK.
In addition, the Conservatives outfoxed their partners on the key issue of electoral reform, so the Liberals effectively got nothing in return for their support of Cameron.
In Kennedy's final election campaign, the SNP distributed this particularly nasty campaign material mocking his alcoholism.

Have you noticed that rich people have given themselves permission to steal from you? From all of us?

Asking for permission before I take money out of the bank would kill my bank robbery business.
