Go!

We’ve been away for a few days, but not much has changed has it?

There are still tales of what ‘Bronco’ Brown did or did not say or write to Col Gaddafi. There are still reports about what Jack Straw and ‘Mandy’ Mandelson did or did not say about either the Pan-Am bomber affair or the state of the economy.

Though one hardly dares to say ‘Bring back Teflon Tone and his gang of PR consultants’ one has to say that this present crew is a pretty dismal lot with indecision, wrong decision, muddled thinking and general negativity by comparison.

There is only one answer. Call a General Election!

Come Clean!

Thanks to another leaked document, the Sunday Times has revealed that as long ago as December of 2007 Jack Straw was writing to his counterpart in the Scottish Executive, Kenny MacAskill, about the possibility of releasing the convicted Pan Am bomber, Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi.

Ignoring the issue as to whether or not this terrorist’s release might have been linked to some sort of trade deal between Britain (or Scotland) and Libya, the Government needs to come clean on what it knew about the affair before his release.

And so does ‘Bronco’ Brown after the news that he discussed with the Libyan leader, Colonel Gaddafi, the conditions under which the terrorist might be released some weeks before the event took place.

Opposition parties are rightly calling for a public inquiry into the affair but, if past calls for other inquiries are anything to go by, they are unlikely to get one.

Meantime, the record of this current government is sullied even more.
