Political wags

We are now treated to the leader's wives getting more and more involved with the election.

I, for one, do not give a hoot about the opinions of the spouses.  Let me be clear.  They will not be running the country.  Their opinions are meaningless.

This is not the USA this is the UK.

So, please, let's just focus on the politicians (if we must) and leave their spouses out of it.

Brown admission on banks

So there we have it.  Mr Brown admitted today that 'he should have regulated the banks more'.

This is damning, we have constantly heard from labour politicians that the 'global economic crisis' took all by surprise.  Patently lies.  Just heard Ed Balls 'supporting' Brown - 'we have said this many times over the past two years'.  Who is he kidding.  I'm with John Pienaar on this one, he said 'these comments must have been mumbled very quietly'.

If Brown and his government had regulated the banks more closely, the current disaster may have been averted.  I think, this applies to the world's major countries.

So a stark choice - more years of poor government or a change?
