Deputy PM claims children were startled by street protesters
Youngsters were scared when more than 400 campaigners held a street party on Saturday in the south-west London road where Mr Clegg lives with his family.
He said: “We have lots of neighbours who, like us, have small children and some of those small children were quite scared so that’s not, on a human level, very nice. But I have to say on the other hand the protesters, by the sounds of it, were entirely peaceful.”
