Dangerously instable Blunderkit gone at last....

[JMGS4]

The Blunket eejit who was called "dangerously instable" by his own junior party members has at last resigned....so goodbye and good riddance with your anti-everything laws, your idiotic ID cards, your new private stasi police force and all the massive ferkups you've generated...... and your lying for a visa!!!
perhaps the country can now get back to some sort of normality without having to think about mentally unstable control freakists trying to remove the last of our rights under a socio-fascist state!!! Just hope that your leader now goes as well, leaving space for the Common Sense Party!!!!

Sadly not, Bliar is still in Number 10...

Hopefully it will weaken the labour party so that they wont be re-elected, assuming any decent opposition was around...sigh, what a sorry mess

Let's see,

a man born blind from a very poor working class family, defies all the odds and all the advice given to him and rises to the post of Home Sectretary. He tackles the "lentilists" head on and brings in stringent anti terrorist legislation and clamps down on asylum seekers. He calls a spade a spade, has a no nonsense, no spin attitude. He then tackles the smug self important Chief Constable of Humberside for his forces failings identified in the post Soham enquiry and in doing so puts the wind up every smug Chief Constable in the Country.

Finally, he doesn't try and dump on his staff when the Nanny visa is investigated but hands in his resignation. Also, he could have walked away from ever seeing his two year old (alleged) son and saved his career, but he didn't.

Guilty of some errors of judgement? Definitely. Are we better of without him? I don't think so.

and at the same time gives himself the power to appoint whatever type of chief constable he wants onto any post, and starts down the road of demanding that everyone carries, under pain of death, an ID card (and charges us for the priviledge as well), to give police stop and question rights for no other reason than because he can..

Are we better of without him? I think so.

He'll be back!

Indeed, his fight against the odds is admirable. However, it does not justify the legislation he has introduced, nor some of the proposals he has made.

It's ironic that he's leaving just as courts are now allowed to tell juries of past convictions, hammering the concept of 'innocent until proven guilty'. If you are involved in a traffic accident through no fault of your own, you can now face your previous speed camera fines being brought up to 'proove' your guilt. Great.

Personally, I feel no desire to be bludgeoned by new laws dictating my 'freedoms' in the name of preventing terrorists. Such laws are almost always self serving and have no proven effect on terrorism, which is already very adequately addressed by exiting laws.

Here we disagree I have no malice against the man, and I respect his achievements. However, his arrogance in criticising and attempting to control both his colleagues and the public as a whole is offensive. He is typical of Labour's belief that the government knows better than we do, and that social ills can be best prevented by introducing new laws.

And therin lies the reason he was ousted. If you think that he will take his neofascist policies with him, then you can garantee that Sid and Doris Bonkers will think the same.

Blair's spin factory know very well how to use the cult of personality, kill the messenger and everyone thinks the message is dead.

It ain't.
