MPs and Principles

If I was a minister who was going to be culled next week then I would resign now. Get your retaliation in first. No matter what Gordon may say he is going to have his 'night of the long knieves' yes I am that old, because it is 'events dear boy, events' which are running this country, there is no forward plan.

Consider our Gordon and his 'successes'. The flood, still not sorted for many. Avian flu, yeah right, well I remember Ben Bradshaw, then a minister with responsibilty for DEFRA, some years ago on our radios telling is about a test run for some sort of contingency planning and what happened they found one, yes one, swan or some other bird, but don't be scared. The foot and mouth, did that, or did it not, come from a government establishment.

I repeat, if I was one of the ministers who know that they are going are thiks they are, do the honourable thing and go now, if you take Gordon with you, so be it. But what ever youdo don't go on the media against that awful John Prescott who will put his hand on your shoulder and tell you that you are 'bitter' and that is why you quit. I don't think you are, I think that you have principles so lacking in other members.

I think that MPs have to look into their souls, is fame the spur for your actions, or do you actually have principles.
