Darling Alistair & The Northern Rot Auction

Poor Darling, our Alistair, poor Darling! Whatever he does, at Gordon's bidding, is bound to back fire on him - perhaps rightly so, he wanted the job, wanted the salary, wanted to be political so he'll have to take the consequences.

The economy is shot to pieces, Tony Blair knew that, as did Gordon Brown who perhaps saw this as his last chance to be a Prime Minister, lets face it, if he were a true leader of conviction he would have fought Tony for the position right at the begining and any excuse of 'best for the party' is, or would be if levied, a lame excuse we all see through.

Gordon thought he might get a second term but then, just before his Chancellorship reign blew up in his face, David Cameron announces opinion grabbing support measures - tough luck Gordon, but now we bet you glad he did somewhat upstage you, eh?

So, Northern Rock will end up 'auctioned' for want of a better term and no doubt we, the tax payer, will be the one to lose out, not Applegarth or Darling Gordon salaries, no they'll all still receive them and Gordon Darling won't care a hoot as they fade in to opposition, still on fat cat salaries.
