irony

that lovely man eric pickles has had this to say about labour councils: that they are "playing politics with people's jobs, and people's homes, and people's services."
mmm perhaps he should look closer to home, maybe he should check in with cameron, osborne and clegg and see what game they are playing because they seem to be playing politics with people's jobs, people's homes and people's services. 


he was defended by bob neil, the local government minister, who said that eric used robust language and he was right to do so. however when labour councils describe the effects of the cuts they are not being robust they are choosing to speak in the "most gory and attention-seeking way possible".


i would say what is good for the goose is good for the gander, but it appears that mr. pickles has cooked the goose and gander and scoffed them both.
