Clegg in SNP boob

LIB DEM leader Nick Clegg bungled when he forgot to mention the SNP in his nuisance phone calls to Scottish voters.

The Lib Dems blitzed 250,000 voters with a recorded campaign message from Clegg.

But his message failed to mention the SNP, who won last year's Holyrood elections and are frontrunners to win the Glenrothes by-election.

In his message, Clegg said: "If the general election were held tomorrow, who would you support?

"Press 1 for Conservative, 2 Liberal Democrat, 3 Labour, 4 Undecided."

The SNP said Clegg's gaffe made the Lib Dems a laughing stock north of the Border.
