respect

seems like tony has learnt at least one lesson - if you want to win change the name of the game to something that people will like. so we have "respect" bliar is going to build a "culture of respect" in his remaining months in power.
given the attitude towards politician's this is a good idea - but oh look at that here they go with the id card thing again - even though everyone told them that no one wanted them and no one could see the benefit of them. well so much for respecting other people's views.
off to a good start there then!
or perhaps this is "respect" ala galloway when really all it means is that we are using this word so you don't think of that other stuff.

it looks like the next couple of years tony is going to be focused on the domestic agenda. so we will have laws to ban smoking in public places, to tackle hospital-acquired infections (mmm not sure how you can legislate against catching a bug, surely that is just a case of providing the nhs with the tools and resources to keep the hopistal clean ? or does that interfer with the sacred cow of the pfi? then there will be laws to boost school standards (you can already see it - try to tell the teacher your dog ate your homework and you get 10 months solitary...)
but it's ok they are planning to be tough on street crime, asylum and immigration. so that should play well in papers such as the daily mail and the sun.
you know that when the conservatives are planning to back new labour on most of their bills there is something wrong....
can onmly be a matter of time before that have gorgeous george back in.
