Obvious omission III...


I seem to have missed the outraged overeaction. Can't move for the media coverage that we saw re Lord Young's ill-advised yet still true enough statement that many hadn't really had a bad time at all during the recession...but finding it hard to find much on yet another resignation for the shadow cabinet; perhaps Ed doesn't know yet but Labour MP Eric Joyce was banned from driving AGAIN: "not compus mentis" at the wheel of a car: surely Ed, you should be decrying this as "disgraceful".

P.S.The number of people available to Ed is shrinking: those that have refused to serve in the shadow cabinet, those already removed and facing trial, and those on their way out.

Poor old Ed, he is politics version of Craig Levein, nobody loves him but he doesn't care.

Eric Joyce should resign, particularly given his history of comments about certain groups in society.

He has Paul, not sure if he was made to go or not. Night in cells, refusing to give breath test or sample but claims he only had one of those little bottles of wine you get on planes.

The majority is too big so virtually all policies will be pushed through by the coalition but losing even more MP's from the opposition isn't good for democracy.

Also some of the most controversial ideas are being released at weekends especially on Saturdays where there is virtually no coverage in the press or media.

Another has happened revolving around Social Housing.

I still think when the cuts and policies start to hit people will realise just hard it will be.

Few people have yet to experience what is planned.

They did manage to hide the terms of student loan repayments being changed under the coverage of the Royal Wedding. Incidentally the Palace broke modern protocol by not telling No.10 about the wedding announcement before the press because they don't trust that bloke who gave the okay to phone-tap the Royals.

...although they did get off the "bury bad news" hook re that royal announcement as it was made after DC had made some comment that Labour said he was trying to bury...it you catch my drift. Clearly labour are struggling as "the man in the street" is picking up things that the opposition should be using against the Coalition but they're blowing it! Very odd.
