This airspace closure is really getting out of bounds with all notion of common sense...
And you have to admit that the record of this government is not good when it comes to BIG decisions.

Mad Cow, CJD - five deaths, we're all going to die, run for the hills.

Bird flu - one death in Hong Kong, we're all going to die, run for the hills.

Foot and Mouth - three people have mouth ulcers - burn them, burn them all, burn every cow in the land (and preferably the farmers too, 'cos they vote Tory anyway).

Swine flu - someone has a snivel, we're all going to die, run for the hills. Order 300 million Tamiflus and 500 million vaccines (from my mate's pharmaceutical company, of course).

Economy overheating - what's the problem? This is normal growth.

Global Warming - arrgghh, let's close down all UK industry, just in case. Yeah, yeah, so this is the coldest winter in 30 years, Arctic ice is recovering and Antarctic ice is at is highest ever extent - but we have to be cautious.

Economy crashing - it was the American's fault, selling houses to poor people.


Gordon make a rational decision? Not likely.
