nice that parliament is now on holiday until the 20th April, for which we have to thank the Easter break. What I think is interesting is that the immediate inquiry into the terrible, shocking events at Staffordshire hospital is due to report, on the 20th April, so that will be lost in all the 'news' about parliament returning. Then on the 22nd April is the budget, so again Staffs will be lost in the buzz of the that. So the politicians wonder why we have become so cynical. it will soon be time for Gordon Brown to announce the details of the inquiry into Iraq, that will need to be argued as to what the inquiry will actually look in to, and it must be held in public, it really must, there must be no cover up in Downing Street.

In the meantime decisions are being made about extra troops in Afghanistan and few seem to either want to know or care that our soldiers in Basra are now under the control of the Americans. We must not reinforce our defeat in Afghanistan, where no shots were meant to be fired according to John Reid. These are sad days indeed. So much waste, so much hubris, just pathetic.
