So the Government of New Labour crisis is over is it? The bad boys and girls of New Labour (and the Tories) have been unmasked by the Telegraph and have left for Heavens knows what and faith in the Leadership of Gordon Brown has been restored. Somehow I don't share this confidence and I know I am not alone. Usually the Phony war comes before the real thing but in the current case it has set in after the expenses and loss of confidence punch up. What is predictable, is the phenomena where the crap floats to the top. Some things do remain eternal.
A good example is that our once proud Cabinet is now reduced to Ant and Dec, alias Alan Johnson and Andy Burnham. The Rats have deserted, and continue to desert the sinking shit taking their brilliant ideas with them. And as the days dwindle down to a precious few along with their polices, very soon, the only surviving policy will soon be fluoride instead of the NHS. Some say its been this way since 2003. But, with the NHS now facing a shortfall of £15BN and major cutbacks coming over the horizon the future looks exceeding bleak.
It makes little difference which Government is elected next year or for that matter for the next twenty odd years. Taxes will have to go up which will dismay the Tories and their supporters and investment in Education, Transport, Health, the Military etc etc, will have to be reduced, in some cases, severely. Vast sums have been dished out to salvage the greedy and incompetent bankers which even Brown admits will remain outstanding till 2032 and many think it will take much longer than this.
