Do you mean to tell me that Gordon is NOT responsible for my thinning hair? Furthermore that the poor coffee harvest in Brazil was not as a result of his fiscal policies?
With no means of proving the contrary I reluctantly bow to your superior knowledge however on the subject of the Baroness I beg to differ with your assessment that the offence was not serious enough to sack her. Any offence committed by someone holding that office should warrant immediate sacking. She should be whiter than white (not skinwise obviously) and her pathetic excuse for not photocopying the papers is Bovine excrement. She was instrumental in drafting and steering the law through which implies that she would know every detail to the letter. She employed an illegal alien and regardless of paper work, copied or not, by doing so she broke the law. Not a law that she was ignorant of or one that she didn't understand but law that she was very well versed in. There can be absolutely no excuse. In her position that cleaners papers should have been checked, double checked and checked again. She had the resources available to her on, the grounds of security for a minister in nothing else.
To say Gordon could not sack her is rubbish, I would have thought he was duty bound to give her the push.
This is just another example of gross ministerial incompetence, that is so prevalent within government and Whitehall these days, but which will go unpunished, no one will be brought to account as this is accepted as the norm
