Give them time, I liked Labour in '97. Now I would happily see Blair shipped off to the ICC.


Agreed, Britain has a great ability to elect governments that actually bring great (and usually very positive) change for the country. Then we reelect them again, and they go from positive change to well-it-could-be-worse change, and then we reelect them again and it goes to where-the-fuck-did-this-crap-come-from change.

I'm sure this will be a very positive government in terms of its changes. Then they'll have public support and will strong-arm whatever they want, and in their third run of it (if they get one) they'll bastardize everything they do and make people go running and screaming to try and get Labour back in power to reverse the damages, just for the cycle to repeat.

It's like steering a car. A sober driver makes incremental changes and goes in a straight line. England is like a drunk driver, we don't notice a problem till its too late and we hard-swerve to get back on the road just to find ourselves in oncoming traffic to swerve right back off the road.


Well, Australia tried shipping John Howard to the ICC.

(Ah, the ambiguity of acronyms.)


I'd like to see him shipped off to the ISS.
