Ministers give up, but were going down with them

Lord Allesley had an interesting meeting yesterday with a long term advisor to many a government. This is the least sensationalist, and least partisan person Lord Allesley knows. The reports of what is going on in the world of Brown were disturbing. It seems Brown has become a one man think tank, who throws out random policy ideas he has come up with on the back of an envelope, he then insists they are rolled out.

Worse still is the attitude of ministers. It appears they have given up, they are openly admitting they wont be around for much longer so policy's they announce are pointless. And even worse still it appears that several ministers are now embarking on a scorched earth policy. They are coming up with initiatives that promise the earth, are uncosted and undeliverable, they know that Cameron will have to pick up the pieces, and with the financial black hole they leave behind it will make the job nigh on impossible.

So as ministers implement their 6 year plan to get back in power, they obviously feel that the good of the country and its citizens are worth sacrificing so they can satisfy there own need to be at the controls.

So at least 6 years of gloom ahead? Lord Allesley hopes he hasn't ruined your day.
