perlmongerWell... How long can Chuckles the Safety Elephant hang on? One hopes that it’s not for long; surely even in NooLabor terms, his position is becoming, as they say, untenable.
What frightens me most, though, is the question of what’s next in the sequence? With each of Straw and Blunkett, I thought the next would have to be an improvement, but each Home Secretary in turn has been a more authoritarian bastard than the last. Will we all come to see Chuckles with a smidgen of nostalgia as his successor’s stormtroopers bundle us all off to Belmarsh or worse?
