Beyond the tipping point
Henry Porter at LibertyCentral:
There comes a stage in a government’s life when routine assessment concerning competence and managerial efficiency is replaced by questions about sanity. Reading Michael Wills musing about New Labour’s plans for an enhanced bill of rights with all sorts of social and economic rights as well as defined responsibilities, I had that experience of watching an acquaintance descend into whimpering insanity.
New rights from Labour mean nothing
At this rate, it won’t be long before Jake starts reporting me to his teachers for ‘counter-revolutionary’ behaviour. Jack Straw, Jacqui Smith, David Blunket, Alistair Campbell, and the rest, these names really are going to live on in infamy. The sooner we get rid of these dangerous, paranoid politicos, the safer we can sleep in our beds at night.
