Jesters, spinners, flattery, feuds and favouritism. Blair's time in office.

'When critics charge British government with being presidential they misunderstand the word. Presidencies have checks and balances. Britain under Blair has been not presidential but courtly, a place of jesters, spinners, flattery, feuds and favouritism. Above all it has revolved round patronage, whose abuse may be its downfall.'

That was the best bit. Read the whole thing here.

The inarticulate rants of a paranoid who has looked around after the birth of his granddaughter and does not like what he sees.

Name: Bag

Location: Cheshire, United Kingdom

I'm a divorced guy with two grown up kids. One has a child of her own so I'm a granddad. Makes me sound old which is right. We live in the NW of England and I'm a manager in a computer consultancy and tend to get involved in fixing things. I enjoy my job which seems to be unusual in this day and age even with the Dilbert type things that drive me loopy.
