Byers Resigns

So he finally fell on his sword. It took long enough for hin to admit that in real terms there was such a seaonally adjusted thing as a sword.

Perhaps he borrowed Jonathan Aitkin's "Trusty Sword of Truth"

He said resigning was "the right thing to do" for the Labour Party and for the government.

Surely the nation should come first.

Cant see why this is being lauded as such a big story? Let's face it, he will be replaced by another tail wagger who daren't say what he thinks, and has the supreme ability to avoid the question.
And now the plaudits will spout about how well he did his job in such difficult circumstances......!

That's because he had an aversion (IMHO) to telling the truth! Ideal candidate for politics. No doubt he'll weasel his way into some high profile banking position.

Ah, but has he misunderstood again and not actually resigned?

I do not suppose we will get a transport minister who puts equal importance on aviation as other forms of transport.

How often have you heard about goverment transport policies that never even mention aviation?

He's not really resigned, he's lying again...
