A Far Fetched Resolution

I’ll tell you what happens with impossible promises. You start with far-fetched resolutions. They are then pickled into a rigid dogma, a code, you go through the years sticking to that, out-dated, misplaced, irrelevant to the real needs, and you end up in the grotesque chaos of a Labour council, a Labour council hiring taxis to scuttle round the city handing out redundancy notices to its own workers. I’ll tell you.. You can’t play politics with people’s jobs and with people’s services.

Come on Cameron - what have you got to hide?

Less than 6 months as leader and Cameron's already squirming...

He's finally (a week late) revealed the lenders to the Conservative Party (totalling £16 million quid - a fair whack more than Labour got).

But oh, what's this? There's another £5 million we aren't allowed to know about...because it's been paid back!

Oh, well that's ok then. The loan, you see, has been paid back. So it's like it never happened.

What's that you say? You're not convinced? Funnily enough, niether am I. It's not like loans aren't supposed to be paid back or anything is it?

And I'm starting to get very interested in this. See, this loan was last year - and therefore not when Cameron was leader. It's perfectly credible that he knew nothing about it at the time. So if it was all going to be something a bit minor then fair enough, surely. He could just say "ooops, sorry, bit of a mistake, not on my watch".

But for the new leader ( who could easily wash his hands of it - or at least point at Labour and say "they're just as bad") to be this worried that he's prepared to take the flak for refusing to disclose it, then blimey, it must be good!

Unless he's just stalling in the hope it'll all blow over and he can go back to the same source for more?

Watch this space I reckon.
