seriously

this morning david cameron was going on about how the government had to work "harder and faster" to bring down energy bills.

this afternoon chris huhne was telling us how we should all be checking that we are on the best tariff possible.

government at its finest. sees a problem. sorts out a solution. amazing. not many people had thought of that.

yet here is an irony - there are a lage number of people out of work. there are a very large number of homes that need to be insulated. scope there for a government programme? i thnk so? will it happen? of course not.

instead we have the government facing off to the big energy companies - looking them square in the eye and doing what? the full sum of what they have achieved is to tell consumers that they need to look at what they use and to look for a better rate.

cameron and his cronies really are out of touch.
still while they are nice and warm we can all remember that we are in it together and bask in the glow of that knowledge.
