Or a complete arse?
AOL and all that shit. Some sympathy in that cabinet minutes should not be released during time of current government, but what does this make people think they have got to hide eh? Blair exited stage left with very good timing.
I notice the tories are resisting the opportunity to score points and are instead lining themselves up for future arse covering should they gain power. Arseholes.
"According to my mate George, God wants us to invade Iraq. So that's what we're going to do. Any objections? No? Good, let's go."
Really? So God briefed Tony rather than George? Mind you, if I was God, I'd be washing my mouth out with soap after talking to either of them.
Why? They're working for you, and you're paying their wages. The subjects they talk about on taxpayers' time should be available to those taxpayers (with obvious exceptions where what they like to term 'national security' is at risk). D.
How about this for an idea... publish them on the web, immediately after the meeting. If that happened, it would make them think twice about doing dodgy stuff and deciding they're in charge of us, rather than there to represent their constituents. If they're anything like my local Labour controlled council - everything. People who fall out massively with their one-time best friend have a habit of leaving them in the shit, so it comes as no surprise really. I'm just surprised it didn't blow up within a month of the one-eyed idiot taking over. Perhaps he should have bowed to pressure and called an election in 2007?

I'm just waiting for the unions to suddenly remember they have a job to do. It's going to be like the 70s/80s all over again, bus loads of cops on overtime blatting up and down the country batons and riot shields at the ready. Any bets on how long before we get the first large strikes? Sweepstake anyone?
What a meretricious little toad he is. Still, hopefully it'll keep him out of the civil honours list through the declining years of the current regime.
As soon as the major projects such as the Olympic construction work dies out. There are so many foreign nationals working on that project that as soon as it slows down and work dries up only the cheapest labour will be kept on and that isn't going to be British workers. British workers who've got a mortgage and kids to feed can't live on minimum wage whereas someone sharing a house with 7 others and sending money home every week might not be as happy as he was a year or two back he's still going to be better off taking the cash. This isn't outsourcing, it's simply undercutting the locals and as soon as the work starts to dry up it'll hit hard. With a bit of luck it won't affect me because the MoD won't relax the security vetting and the fuckers won't get clearance because they're not on the electoral roll (1st check and easiest way to thin out the undesirables) but everything else will be fair game. Two years before we have a national strike. The recent action at the refinery in Lincolnshire would have hit harder had it taken place in 8 weeks time but it still pulled a lot of blokes off unrelated work because they were in the same union.
Good job that new photography law just came into effect, eh. I'll go for this September myself. I have a feeling that this surreal malaise will be shrugged off after a summer of job losses.
