What do you expect when you have a combination of Inspector Clueso and the Keystone Cops running the country?

I'm really reassured that the government can keep my particulars secure on the ID card issue. Errr...no I'm not! This bunch of tossers couldn't run a whelk stall.

It's fascinating watching the slow train wreck called the McBroon government meander on. If they carry on like this Labour will be out on it's ear for another twenty years, and deservedly so.
Erm, how is this particular debacle the fault of the elected government, rather than a civil servant who'd be doing his job whatever party was in power? Would a Tory government have meant that this particular idiot would have observed proicedures any more than he did here?
