Funnily enough later John Major made exactly my point; he's a decent man too.
I voted Lib Dem in order to get Vince Cable into government; and whilst I strongly distrusted both Cameron and Brown, I felt Ken Clarke would be another good minister.
I stand by both those conclusions. And I'd like Major to replace Cameron. |

Denham has standards - and resigned over the Iraq war.
One has to be "careful" with politicians - they say one thing one day and yet an entirely different thing the next day.
I notice that Alan Johnson has now decided that he was wrong. What if we had listened to him when he was expousing his previous beliefs? How do we know he will not change his mind again (when it is politically expedient to do so?)
I suppose that is the dilemma when you have a Tesco shelf-stacker for a deputy Home Secretary (I'd probably trust his judgement on where the beans should be stacked). |

who wrote me a long and detailed letter when I was in Belmarsh answering my worries about the legal system. Kind and decent of him. However, he fudged specifics (he had to) in it and still is a consummate politician on Marr this morning.
The more I see of good politicians, the more I become convinced that Democracy simply doesn't work.
The public do not have brains of any depth and politics is a complex area.
Remove the vote from everyone. |
