Am I the only person that finds it incredulous that Prat Mandelson (I refuse to call him 'Lord') is in charge of the country at the moment, particularly as, according to the Sunday papers, he is trying to get the law changed that prevents a Lord from standing for parliament and thereby enable him to succeed Brown as PM?
And don't forget, the pillock hasn't even been elected by anybody lately, he's just been appointed to one gravy train after another. He's been sacked from Government twice for offences that would result in any non-politician being dragged before a judge and here he is running the bloody country :steam::steam::steam: . Where the hell is the country going?

I tend to just assume that all politicians are lying bastards, always have been and always will be. Keeps the blood pressure down.

It does help but this one's running the country and we didn't elect him! Our democracy ain't perfect but it's not normally that bad.

The thing is the vast majority of politicians of all flavours are in it for two reasons, money and power. Everything they have said and done in the last 3 months has proved that to be true. The only choice available to you is the lesser of 3 evils.

Oh, re Mandy...

In June 2009, Peter Mandelson was promoted and gained one of the longest titles in political history, Baron Mandelson of Foy in the County of Herefordshire and Hartlepool in the County of Durham, First Secretary of State, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, Lord President of the Council.

I'm sure his title could be reduced in length - I think four or five letters would be sufficient.

In my very humble opinion...................the above could be distilled down into SCUM BAG. Thank you.

His is a perfect case for there being no accountability in modern New Labour. Be a naughty boy, sit on the naughty step for awhile (EEC in his case) and then come back all is forgiven. Any one else, i.e US, would have spent some time in a prison.

IMVHO UK politics has sunk to an all time low. Well as people from my neck of the woods don't really have a say, its up to the UK mainland to vote them out....and God help you all (and me) if you don't.
