a test of character!

Posted by michael on December 28, 2008

I see that nice Mr. Brown has been really considerate in going to all that trouble in allowing that nasty recession just to help me improve my character! I do hope that I can manage to pass this test of character that he has organised for me.

I am so looking forward to it. As a family we were far too settled and enjoying life. Work was fun, the children were behaving well  and my wife and I were enjoying each others company.

Clearly this had to stop! There has to be something more to life than this and the recession and the problems with jobs, money, paying bills etc is just the thing to end all this nonsense.

Thank you Mr Brown for helping me see what is really important in life!

Are we living in a democracy?

I always thought that the government in power ran the the country, and that the police were there to uphold Law and Order.

All MPs as individuals in society are obviously subject to the Law.  But as members of Parliament fulfilling their Parliamentary role they are above the Law and are subject to the rule of the Speaker. 

I know that it is more complex than that but this is the basic principle upon which our freedoms and democracy are based.

This is the very thin end of a very unpleasant wedge!
