It's true - and I've not forgotten that when Labour first introduced fees, and again when they increased them, it was in both cases a direct betrayal of a manifesto promise of their own. Alas, I know such things happen - though not usually quite so soon after getting hold of the greasy reins of power. Still, there's no harm in pointing it out when it does. And I think it's Cable's brazen attempt to tell us that black is white that's particularly nauseating here.
