While quizzed by Jon Sopel about the £2.5 million donation from convicted fraudster Michael Brown Cable attempts to say that it's OK because all parties have had trouble with donors. To be clear neither that Labour party or the Conservatives have funded their campaigns with money that has been stolen from other people.
While it might seem like the Lib Dems are being ganged up upon it is simply the case that they are now getting the much overdue scrutiny that they deserve. That said the Mail's obsession with Clegg's family heritage is unpleasant and irrelevant.
If you look back through my Liberal Democrat tags you'll see that I've always felt that they has been over-rated and under scrutinised. I'm glad to see the media coming round to my way of thinking.

The Conservatives funded their campaign with stolen money donated by Asil Nadir. And Didn't Labour get substantial donations from Robert Maxwell, who stole money from the Mirror pensioners?
It is no good complaining about the Lib Dems being 'holier than thou' and hypocrites when you go and claim that Labour and the Conservatives have not used stolen funds.
