OMFG Blind Pew is back

"Mr Blunkett will also take charge of controversial plans for reform of
invalidity benefit."

That'll be interesting then.

 

<Suddenly having flashbacks to the Not The Nine O Clock News "Budget"
sketch...>

 

I also note that Hoon has been moved to become Commons Leader. Can SWK
tell me; is this considered a promotion, demotion or just a sideways
move?

 

Is it just me, or does the fact that someone who resigned recently
because of a visa being made 'faster but no favours' becoming *work* and
pensions secretary seem ironic to you too?

 

If you voted Labour (which I'm not saying you did) that's what you were
voting for.

It's not exactly a huge surprise is it - Blair's been saying it would happen
since he 'resigned'.

 

Obviously he knows how to abuse the system, so why not
put the fox in charge of that particular henhouse?

I hope the UK has fun getting screwed for another few years.

Around here, we've got exactly the same kind of majority
provincial government and it looks like they'll get in again
at the next election. Sigh. Can't run away from the bastards,
they're everywhere.

 

Although the re-election of NuLabour is unpopular with the majority I
think it would be fair to say that the misdemeanours of the members of the
NuLabour administration over the last 8 years pale into insignificance
next to jailbird tory MP's such as Sir Jeffrey and the R.H. Jonathan
Aitken. And of course gerrymandering tory council leaders like Dame
Shirley Porter. And the arms dealing **** married to the Tory P.M. of the
day. And so on ad nauseam. Etc etc[1]

[1] Thought I'd add that bit for Blaney

 

Sounds like a conflict of interests to me
