The Sun Says ...

It's not all that often I agree with the Sun (or is that vice versa?) But today, Trevor Kavanagh is on the money:

Public sector managers see their first duty as covering each other’s backs while paying lip service to hospital patients, school pupils, crime victims and children at risk.

And the only response from the likes of Haringey children’s welfare supremo Sharon Shoesmith and sulky Jacqui Smith is a glare with resentment – as if THEY are the victims.



Yeah ... how dare people take them to task? Do they know how much these highly-paid fucks suffer on our behalf?

What we are seeing today is the arrogance of a buck-passing, secretive political class who see criticism as tantamount to treason.

That’s how the Home Secretary justifies her department’s anti-terror squad rummaging through the love letters of an innocent man whose “crime” was to expose her ministerial incompetence.

This raid, seen initially by gleeful Labour as an embarrassment for the Tories, has blown up in their faces.

Now it threatens to overshadow the Queen’s Speech to Parliament on Wednesday and could signal the end for Speaker Martin.

Gordon Brown should apologise quickly – before voters decide he is a ruthless control freak willing to accept any abuse of power to harm his opponents and stay in office.



Too late, Trevor.

Oh, and that bubble solution really stings if (say) it's thrown in your eyes. There's a nice future earner for a claims lawyer...

Should make a change from Greater Manchester Police Farce's usual methodology for dealing with the general public on their way home from the pub.
