There is a new party called England's Parliamentary Party. I think you are right, the English are slowly realising that Nu Labour have set the whole thing up so they can enjoy the trappings of power forever. Trouble is boundary commission kicks in at the next election, to deal with some of the Labour rottenboroughs so will Gordon be tempted to go early? If there is a hung Parliament, (as opposed to hang them all), Labour might expect the LibDems to side with them. However the right thing to do would be for the LibDems to side with whichever party won the popular vote. Hence the reason why Ken Clarke has been despatched to curry favour with Lib Dems. I will be voting for whoever can defeat James Gray!!

Bliar and his lovely wife flew home from their freebie hols courtesy of Ryanair. He is too mean to use BA if the poor soddin taxpayer isn't footing the bill.

Sounds reasonable to me...would you use expensive BA if a Ryanair cheapie was available?

If like everybody else Bliar was charged £2.50 for each checked in bag, BA might have been cheaper.

Even Proone, aka "Cherie", has gone quiet about the disaster that is our "Government" today, despite the odd fleeting short post to tell us we're all deluded and it's a media hatchet job.

Princess Tone now recognises that old adage, "Live by the sword, die by the sword" ?

We've only got 24 hours to do what ? NHS F d, Home Office f d, Treasury f d etc - We're all doomed I tell you.

The Guardian
Britain is smiling, but it looks daggers at Labour


This government has achieved something extraordinary - to be hated in a country that feels good about itself.

The times are out of joint. Parties are all wearing each others' clothes and voters have no reason to believe any of them. Nothing is what it seems. Tony Blair threatens his 47th get-even-tougher criminal justice bill while John Reid throws paedophiles to the local mobs to deal with. Gordon Brown risks his dignity by inviting the enemy Mail on Sunday in to watch football with him to flaunt his macho Eng-er-land cred while Cameron talks so softly on relationships that Brown calls him "namby-pamby". The Lib Dems swerve right and abandon their totemic 50% top tax rate just as a gaping vacancy opens on the left.
