I haven't seen this expressed more clearly and incisively anywhere, and completely agree with you.<BR/><BR/>I presume you're responding in particular to the horrifying decision to go ahead with the new Heathrow runway, as well as to wider issues. <BR/><BR/>I had actually had a faint glimmering of positive (well, at least less negative) response to some recent pronouncements from Gordon Brown about how he intends to respond to the economic crisis - the first positive response I had had to anything a British politician had said for a very long time. But the Heathrow decision tells me to stop hoping - such short-termism is truly horrifying. <BR/><BR/>As for the VAT discussion, yes, quite ludicrous. I can't tolerate Prime Minister's Questions at all. Makes me feel so alienated I just want to go and bang my head.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08690685768980280402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143707484157174122.post-910997083053595772009-01-15T10:00:00.000+00:002009-01-15T10:00:00.000+00:00Well said Stray.
