Don't you find that both David and Nick don't live in the same world as the rest of us. I will rephrase that they don't live in the same world as working class. As the only thing I could do was to stand guarantor for my children when they bought their homes...

What happens if the grandchildren default on their mortgages? Are we to lose our homes too in order to pay for it?
Perhaps this another thing Nick Clegg will apologise for later down the line, when it is too late.

I wonder if Nick Clegg's grandparents helped him buy his home! And I wonder if he intends to do the same for his children when he is older.
