Fair shares for all

Is Red Ed going to get a baby blue election van to match the Harperson's pink Barbie Bus? Or would that be too Tory?

Following yesterday’s further arrests for child abuse

Just a thought, but if members of the “Asian community” would stop abusing young white girls, then maybe the “far-Right” wouldn’t be able to use the issue to stir up racial tensions. Just a thought.

Time is money – for the usual suspects

The inquiry into historical child abuse, which has already made 2 false starts with unsatisfactory chair persons, is expected to take 3 years to shuffle the paperwork. The conclusion then will be either that no one is to blame or that the system was at fault, not the people operating it.

Grab their attention

The performance of Chilcot, J. before the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee confirms that he lacks the authority and the skills necessary to deal with other obstructive civil servants, e.g. Humphrey Heywood. What would be really good would be for the prime monster to pluck up the courage to sack him as an example to the other jobsworths, and remove a few knighthoods for the same purpose.

Unfit for any purpose

With a general election approaching, it would be interesting to hear the views of candidates for the job of MP on the issue of taking the business of government out of the hands of civil servants and quangos and other Labour party front organizations. The reasons for doing this are manifest, but they include the alleged inspectorate of schools interpreting promoting Britishness as bullying primary school-age girls to be lesbians, the antics of the Care Quality Commission aimed at driving Hinchingbrooke hospital out of business, and the foot-dragging over the “inquiry” into how the country was dragged into an illegal war in Iraq in 2003.

Labour ditches democracy

Labour’s leadership hopeful, Chunky Whatever, has announced that his party will not listen to “multi-millionaires who live in a big mansion”. [Like Red Ed?] So that’s the democracy crap of everyone entitled to have an opinion chucked out of the window, then?

Was that for real?

Two miracle plays in the last minute or so of the Super Bowl? Yeah, like that could happen!
