"Democracy Has To Be Paid For"


The Fabian Window - new world for old (click to enlarge)

On cutting the cost of elections Jack Straw has said:
"I and other ministers had absolutely no knowledge about this exercise. I make no complaint about that but now that it has gone public I make clear what I would have told officials privately: That these proposals are simply unacceptable. The exercise has therefore ended. Democracy has to be paid for."
Maybe so Jack, but we'll be watching.  Does no-one in this amoral government know what the heck's going on anymore?

Another quick U-turn from Slippery Jack as yet more of the anti-democratic tactics of Labour escape into the public domain!
Not long now, Fausty.......

I'm looking forward to the full report becoming available, Spidie, along with leaked inter-departmental memos.

While he has a large marjority (8000), he's not assured of winning the seat at the GE.

I can't stomach the thought of Lord Slippery Jack, althought it's almost a certainty!
