Tedious politicians

I’m either becoming jaded or more cynical. Listening to Today this morning I’ve become convinced that Charles Falconer is a Humpty Dumpty figure in government. But with a difference. He keeps falling off that wall but someone (who has a lot to answer for) keeps putting his back together – and inflicting his blundering approach upon the nation once again.

And what is it with Ruth Kelly? She talked about the need for ‘learning support units’ in schools. Excuse me? Aren’t schools already those by definition? Where does she get this jargon?

Also, maybe it’s just me, but does anyone else listening to her on the radio keep thinking of Barbara the pre-op taxi-driving transsexual from The League of Gentlemen?
