Incompetence of breathtaking proportions

'Foreign policy can never be the same again' says Gordon Brown

Tuesday, 21 July 2009 21:34

So Clown Brown thinks "Foreign policy can never be the same again."

He followed that up by saying that  "Policies must instead be formed by listening to the opinions of people."

Well Gronad get you ears open. People are telling you things all the time, but you are in Downing Street, if may have escaped your attention but ordinary people, the ones that pay your wages and were stupid enough to vote for your party, are not even allowed into Downing Street.

Do you remember the 1.75 million who signed the petition on the Downing Street website telling the government to think again about fuel taxes? You may like to repeat what message Bliar rattled off to the people.

Now you tell us that policies must be formed by listening to the people  - get your ears and eyes open. People are telling you what they want and what they think all the time. The truth of the matter is that you don't want to hear it unless it fits with your thinking.

You have not been in contact with any real people for so long that you have forgotten what they are. Downing Street and the places you frequent are as far distant from the people of England as you can get, it's like the other end of the universe.

It's not foreign policy that has to change it's every aspect of domestic policy. We the people have the technology - all we need is for politicians to Listen to the People!

Labour's muddled thinking on bank regulation

Wednesday, 08 July 2009 16:06

Let's face it, Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling are compulsive complicators, they just can't resist fiddling, tweaking and generally making things more complicated and difficult than they need to be.

Today's announcement on bank regulation does nothing helpful, it just tweaks and fiddles. What we need is thinking outside the box, neither of these two are capable of that, so it looks like we will have to wait until a different government takes over. Then we might get common sense, but don't bank on it! (No pun intended).

MG Rover enquiry breathtaking failure

Tuesday, 07 July 2009 14:51

Four years in the making and writing, 16 million pounds of public money and still delayed. That's the enquiry into the collapse of MG Rover the midlands car maker.

This labour government has decided that they need to ask the Serious Fraud Squad to waste more public money investigating whether or not there are grounds for a prosecution. The answer is pretty obvious to anyone with two brain cells that work.

The Serious Fraud Squad should be investigating why the government doesn't want the report published, and the most likely reason is that there is something in there that is highly embarrasing to labour, Gordon Brown or Tony Blair and that this is a convenient way of keeping that out of the news.

Eventaully the truth will come out, but how many more millions of public funds will have been wasted is anyone's guess, and by then it will be so far in the past that no-one will care. But isn't that convenient for the government?
