In 100 years time you will be grateful if you are an American. Underpopulated and full of resources. <br /><br />It is a shame you weren't made a minister in this round, BQ. Time is running out. Jeremy Hunt created a space. You could have speeded up the return of BBCQT. measuredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11281134269555074558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-24429119793053848472012-09-05T19:50:00.381+01:002012-09-05T19:50:00.381+01:00I think the economy is stuffed anyway.

We can handle hardship but not accompanied with the breakdown in law and order his policies are likely to bring.<br /><br />Prolly too late on that too. <br /><br />(Haven't I been saying this for years ?)Electro-Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18073103431166273080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-692300493230637532012-09-05T10:28:01.708+01:002012-09-05T10:28:01.708+01:00Ive always thought wholesale re-shuffles were tota...Ive always thought wholesale re-shuffles were totally ridiculous. witness the frenzy in the press.<br /><br />I was frankly stunned that Hunt got a promotion rather than the expected kick in the seat of the pants? What does he hold over Cameron?<br /><br />Grayling? the man who compared moss side to the Wire. i suspect that wazzoc will come unstuck when the small matters of the laws of the land and due process raise their heads.<br /><br />Can someone tell me why Laws isn't facing charges for fraud? He's been utterly discredited! No wonder the LDs have not mentioned any Recall law.<br /><br />Hatfield girl raises some interesting points. Do manifesto pledges really disappear after 2 and a bit years? some of the new cabinet members are going to be performing some uncomfortable volte-faces (Transport for example).<br />Education may be ongoing but shouldnt we question the free schools as a vanity project? Some remarkable sums of money are being found for these, while existing schools are told the cupboard is bare? What about the shameful shifting of GCSE goalposts during an exam cycle? Could be my ignorance, but could that not have waited for a fresh intake?roymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040387761432476794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-13577564645586763662012-09-05T09:27:32.073+01:002012-09-05T09:27:32.073+01:00In '..some subtle and clever ways, Cameron rea...In '..some subtle and clever ways, Cameron really has had a reshuffle worth having.'<br /><br />Government policy doesn't, never has, necessarily identify either with the policy stances associated with departments or the individual policy stances of ministers appointed to them. Nor does government policy conveniently divide itself up into department-bounded chunks.<br /><br />Your perceptive judgment notes this; we have now some powerful and clever ministers no longer tied to particular departments, and multi-tasked to deliver government policy. Policy choices, furthermore, that are released from the manifesto strait-jacket by the amount of time since we voted, and by the necessary compromises caused by events.<br /><br />So far it's clear educational reform is ongoing and determined; Trident and nuclear defence policy is under review; entitlements policy is not fully implemented but probably there won't be fresh tightening of limits but efficient implementation of what's already in place; health is to be re-packaged and sold better but no going back; and the social democratic tendency is to be contained and restrained from its growth-damaging interference in economic activity.<br /><br />Europe remains unclear: what exactly is Ken Clarke doing unbound with a presence in economic decision-taking bodies?<br /><br />Still, very innovatory, roving, under-determined decision takers.hatfield girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673905475452420002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-77323535845812164742012-09-05T09:23:47.042+01:002012-09-05T09:23:47.042+01:00It's a real non-change.
