Compassion

the new buzz word, this is a 'compassionate' budget. We must be compassionate towards those who have gotten into debt, that is, spent too much, who have over-extended themselves.

You'll notice how yesterday Gordon Brown was slightly hesitant before he used the word compassionate because I will bet that Alistair Darling will use the word a lot in his speech. Darling will be angry because compassion could be the only justification for this crisis budget. How could anybody be so heartless as to throw pregnant women and little babies onto the streets. I bet Darling wanted to be the first to use it, or should I be more compassionate about the Brown motives.

Compassion, now who but a heartless wicked Tory could argue with that. I can see the speech being rewritten already, that T A Griffin has sussed us again.
