As I do every morning on my way to work I walk past the LibDem HQ and, unsurprisingly, see nothing of note going on (although the press office is devoid of people more often than you might expect for a ’serious’ political party).  This morning though was a little different.

As I rounded the corner I saw a person dressed as a chicken standing at the LibDem’s entrance.  The chicken was accompanied by two people handing out leaflets.  Leaflets for what you may ask?  I Want a Referendum of course.

It’s not easy being a LibDem; hounded by the press, mocked by bloggers and, perhaps worst of all, stalked by giant chickens unhappy with your failure to back a referendum on the EU Treaty.
