Has "lost his department". Good. Will it affect the making of
any more stupid laws, I wonder.

But apparently he is to still have his title.
So the ODPM website will not be run by the DPM ?
Huh ?
They'll have to rename the acronym, um, something like "office of the
dim-witted or purposefully mad".
By the way, what whitehall departement had building regs before
Mr Prescott ?
Also, I hate the way the London broadcasters call him "Mr Prescut".
Thats a letter 'o' on there.

Not only - the ODPM will be restructured, renamed, broken up and the
crappier bits given to Ruth Kelly as a punishment.

That leaves John free to eat all the pies and pursue his other "hobbies".

Until they need to wheel him out for the Gateheads campaign come the general
election.

Surprised Hewitt kept her job - also surprised Straw lost his.

As to stupid laws, wouldn't be surprised if teh bit of the ODPM that handles
building regs were revived and given to Clarke, after a suitably contrite
period of course.

Cheers

Tim

In name only. He got that title cos no one would dare go up against him
when our president was out of the country, cosying up to Bush.
After all, if he can get away with chinning a member of public, how far
up the scale of offences does he have to go before he is prosecuted?

Now that B Liar has had a drubbing at the polls, he has sacked/moved
certain of his government, but that, in the words of H. Bogart, ammounts
to a hill of beans.

The only thing that this government is good at is,

drawing lines under things, (I wonder if that is in crayon?) or saying
something like 'that is a private mater', or 'that we must move on...)

No wonder voters either didn't vote (as happened in my area, 30% turn
out and has always been a strong labour vote), or has voted UKIP/NF.

Blair one, or Blair 2. What is the difference between them? (Brown/Cameron)

If I had the chance to vote UKIP or NF at the local poll, I would have
chosen either of them.

It's time we brought our politicians back into line. We are supposed to
live in a democracy, but tell me what that means in 2006, now that ID
cards are wanted by the govmint, that lets in over 30,000 EU workers and
doesn't know if they have gone back home



Dave

I hope this means sense.

Having signed the Official Secrets act to the level of UK Eyes B, (this
would be one level above the DPM) I wonder what secrets she had on her
arse, imprinted from the blotter, that she could have sold to the
outside world?

Has anyone considered this aspect?

On employers time, in their offices, shortly after lecturing others on
"moral standards" and tory "sleaze".... So all in all a straight up kind
of guy! (at least by the standards set by the rest of the shower phoney

I hear the latest ruse is he wants to take legal action against the
press because when they went public with that story, it let the cat out

Any proof of this besides the scribble of a shagging hussy who got £250,000

It was merely a comment that government ministers should not abuse
their position.

I didn't offer an opinion one way or the other as to whether J++
actually did that.

Clearly his boss believed that there was an issue....

Apparently the police have been asked to look into the matter of the
misuse of his office. And if they bring a successful prosecution the

Rumour has it that when Tory is forced to resign, John will be moving
to the beanfest called the EU (aka: eat up.)

He has been in meetings most of the time since his removal from tea
break overseer. HP have decided to close UK production and increase
productionat its site in Holland. There are rumours that a well known
pork pie maker is also thinking of relocation.
