"We made a promise before the election, that we would vote against any rising上升,上漲 fees…
We would vote against any rising fees…
We would vote against any rising fees…
It was a pledge保證,誓約 made with the best of intentions, the best of intentions意圖.
But we shouldn't have made a promise we weren't absolutely sure we could deliver."
It's the Deputy副 Prime Minister Nick Clegg as never heard before. His apology over tuition fees學費 for students, turned into something decidedly斷然地 more entertaining娛樂 via通過 a clever bit of computer software.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry…
There's no easy way to say it: I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
His original, pre-musical apology, had been considered a risky strategy. After all, how often do politicians ever admit to being wrong or say sorry? But given his and the Liberal Democrats' abysmal深 opinion poll ratings民意調查 since joining the coalition聯盟 two years ago, the verdict判決書 was: the apology was worth a try. Whether the singing version will make matters better or worse is hard to say. But a source close to Mr Clegg says he found it very funny and has given permission for the video to be released - provided any profits利潤 go to charity.
"The liberal democrats are sorry.
There's no easy way to say it: we are sorry.
And if we've lost your trust, that's how I hope we can start to win it back."
