Petard Hoisting

From today's Observer:

Mandelson presses ahead with Post Office privatisation. Toby Helm (once again) omits to mention what is driving this legislation, ie the EU.

Carole Cadwalladr explains how Jacqui Smith has been hoist by her own fart-bomb. How to turn the Police State against its own instigators. They don't like it up 'em.

Desperation of The Spawn of the Manse becoming an embarrassment. Brown 'signals an end to the excesses of 100% mortgages'. Too bloody late. How many 100% mortgages does he think have been arranged in the last six months? It's also typical New Labour spin: all words and suggestions, no action. Just shut up, you cretin.

Greek media now being targetted as part of the problem. As they are to a greater or lesser extent elsewhere...

Something I'd forgotten to blog about a month or two back: UK border controls will keep foreign artists out. Quite right; can't have these foreign arty-farty types coming here with their unLabour ideas and filthy habits.
