Mandelson Returns
Peter Mandelson as Trade Secretary oversaw the "light touch" policy of regulation which has just nearly bankrupted us. His is now coming back to essentially the same job, and I just listened in disbelief as a reporter from BBC News just told us, after a lobby briefing, that Mandelson was going to help tackle the financial crisis by "Pushing forward on Brown's deregulation agenda".
Words fail me.
I must be going to wake up soon.

Craig,
How right you are! Sometimes one feels as if one has fallen down the rabbit hole into a bizarre paralell universe, where up is down and inside is out.

No, Mandleson is more like the zombie in 'Attik Attak' that keeps popping up where he shouldn't be, even after you've killed him.

it also beggars belief that this man was awarded a peerage!
