The ID story will run and run, the opposition won't let it rest, unless the disks are found.

Two of my kids are under 18, but old enough to pick up on the news. D2 was asking me about it, and what criminals could potentially use the data for. I didn't over elaborate, but she was none the less concerned. It is potentially very bad news for a lot of youngsters. The story is being under played at the moment.

Well there is a clamor (going back to the original post Wink ). Here for instance.

The thing is though, as the article outlines, Harriet Harman has a lot of questions to answer and until they are asked and answered in a proper environment how can the facts be established. Peter Watt has already thrown himself onto his sword to give the public the scapegoat they so desperately want. Once The Electoral Commission has investigated whether the donations breached the Political Parties and Referendums Act 2000 and the Crown Prosecution Service has been informed maybe Harman will as well. We’ll have to wait for justice to take its course, sorry if its inconvenient for people to wait for justice.

One of the great things about living in a democracy is that peoples lives are not ruined or thrown into chaos by a lynch mob mentality. This psychotic obsession the public have and the media (or are they the same thing) about sacking people when mistakes are made makes me sick actually. I can tell you if I got sacked every time I made one they’d be no lufc season ticket for me. I have no political axe to grind on this particular subject. It’s the same with football managers, Chief of police, a company director or a teacher who happens to be at the head of a tree where a fuck up has been made. This clamoring for their head is the mark of a sick society.

In most situation Halfa', I would agree with you. However, when a political party, any political party, is so blatantly latent in releasing information, forgetful in publicising what are really quite major events and careless in the way that they manage major departments, then heads should roll. Let's not forget that Blair and Brown sculpted an election victory and ruined political and public careers in their own interests. Does it make it right? Perhaps not....Do I care? No....Live by the sword, die by the sword.

I dont support the Labour party at all, but the issue meant that our PM was ripped apart in Prime Ministers questions today, so surely to retain what little integrity that the party that governs our country has someone has to be held accountable for the comedy of errors thats occured since September

It seems to be - whenever I've caught PMQ's, Brown always seems to be on the back foot and is often taking a verbal pasting.

Dead man walking?

Hague never had an 11 point lead in the polls though did he? And Hague was in charge of a self-destructing party faced with the might of the freshly elected New Labour. Things are very different now.

A long time till the next election, and the voting public have short memories. Don't get me wrong, I want this lot out. The most corrupt thieving lying cynical government in my time, but I reckon they will survive.

Blimey I hope you are wrong  Shocked  Shocked

It would take some "free money for a week" policy to turn things around for Brown - he just doesn't fit the job at all - his body language says that he just isn't enjoying life as the PM and (this will sound daft) I don't think he likes the glare of the spotlight - and I can't see it being a happy party working for a grumpy (especially grumpy now) scotsman Twisted Evil

Brown isn't a happy bunny and this is undoubtedly not the Premiership he hoped for, but I can guarantee you he'll not give it up.
If that means hanging on for grim death for another two and a half years then he will.
