Seriously Incompetent?
Iain is being a little unfair on the blessed Ruth citing her as potentially Labour's Most Incompetent Minister.Firstly Mrs Balls (Yvette Cooper) deserves most of the opprobrium for the HIPs mess and there is a competitive field of choices in the ministerial incompetence stakes. Prezza has messed up more policies in his time than most. Hewitt is hardly the best of the bunch, Des Browne sends men to die for lack of equipment and lack of any comprehensible strategic or even credible tactical plan in Afghanistan.
Des Browne gets Guido's vote, his incompetence is the most serious. It is wasting the lives of British soldiers...

...I'm spoilt for choice! So many candidates.
But your probably right, on a scale measuring the seriousness of the errors, Des is way out in front.
Oh, Guido, you're so, so right. May I suck you off?
Browne is guilty of corporate manslaughter defintely.
However, its the fault of the incompetent bureaucratic civil servants in the MoD who can't order the equipment quick enough.
They should not be able to sleep at night but instead rest easy on their index-linked final salary pension schemes. A disgrace
Unsure of rules & prizes.
Shurely it muuust be (drum roll - bagpipes skirling in background)

Browne is a cunt. But then, you loved all the 'liberation' bullshit Guido, so that kind of makes you a cunt too.
Patsy gets my vote.
My, that's an interesting use of logic.
Guido, from her pic can we take it that Ruth's Opus Dei connections have got her a Sainthood from Cardinal Ratzinger for her 'performance' in the house yesterday? That is, a resurrection act on Cooper's career at the expense of her own. What selflessness!!
I have to agree with Guido, as I have commented on Iain's blog - Des Browne is a total clot! Why is he in government? He is a donkey leading (if that's what you can call it!) our lions in the armed forces!
As Churchill had it ( hattip to Andrew Marr's prog last night) Labour's " Insatiable lust for power, together with their incomparable incompetence"
They are all rubbish. We're much better.
I agree that smug cheshire cat Yvette Cooper should have been in the frontline yesterday taking the flak over ZaNuLabor's latest balls up.
Mind you after Ruth's perfromance yesterday, I have a feeling her cup size is larger than her intellect.
But Reid has got to be numero uno.
However, I would love to know why he decided to "spend more time with his family" so meekly.
What dark secret does GB hold over him?
Property market is seriously wobbling on its stilts after this one.
Just goes to show you how delicately this house of cards is stacked when a £300 bill could topple the market.
Did all the speculators rush to market their properties at the same time? Are yields and returns so wafer thin that £300 could upset the apple cart?
What will happen to Broons economy if the ATM of inflating house prices is removed from the equation?
Perhaps the Irish market gives some indication http://daftwatch.atspace.com/
Dont all rush for the exits in August, y'hear?
Yvette Cooper hav a face like a sqashed tomato.
Swiss Browne and his MOD Civil Servants in procurement or, as a chum of mine in the Royal Navy calls the DLO lot in Bath.
SWIBs
Some Wanker In Bath
or those who sit in nice offices denying requests for equipment whilst some poor sod runs around Iraq/Afghanistan in the heat without proper equipment.
None of the Ministers, and none of the Departments of State are fit for purpose.
But what can be done?

guido, can't you do something to prevent these awful wishy-washy liberals getting onto this board and spouting this type of offensive humanitarian drivel.
John Reid
Original Defence Minister who sent in unprepared troops. Pissed many people off in NI. Made a mess of Health. Now has left a horlicks in Home Office/Justice for someone else to sort out.
Absoulte patronising waster!
As I said at Iain's place ...
I am absolutely astounded that nobody has nominated the 'First Minister' ..... surely he is far and away the most incompetent. He is the one that appointed all of these useless tossers and has presided over the gradual destruction of this country.
The most incompetent minister? ..... I give you Tony Bliar.
Well I think there should be the same solution for incompetent ministers as for cattle with BSE.
A painless cull and the carcases burnt in pits.
Oh and the Prime Minister at the time should have his pension linked to performance (real performance as opposed to the "pay them when they cock it up type")

Your whole comment is very pertinent and well made.
In August 1988 the UK housing market was brought to climax by a frantic last minute surge to buy properties before law changes severely restricted mortgage tax relief for unmarried couples - and this is why it tipped and crashed immediately afterwards. The echoes are uncanny.

or we could put them top of a list of exchange-fodder for when we need bargaining chips to secure the release of Britons taken hostage by Al Quaida
Well let me see....
Who was that chap that went on and on about how evil Saddam Hussein was and how we should get rid of him, then signed a UN treaty making it illegal for us to force regime change in Iraq, then had to lie to get rid of Saddam on a false pretext? Ah, that would be Tony Blair wouldn't it, so he's pretty incompetent.
But then there's Gordon Brown, the chap that thought it would be a wizard wheeze to pay off 35bn pounds of government debt by placing an effective tax on the telecoms industry retaining their market share, promptly bankrupting Marconi and crippling vodafone which had previously been one of our most succesful companies.
Nope, I am going to have to go for Blair. He has the Sadim touch - that's Midas in reverse. Everything he touches turns to shit.
What Vervet said.
I am surprised I had to scroll down that far to find a nomination for Tony Blair ("the vampire slayer").
The whole brown / browne crowd are completely unfit for purpose - don't forget the incredibly worthless slime ball nick brown. Not only is he one of gordon's bum chums, he has nearly as much blood on his hands from his disasterous spell at defra , as dodgy des does.
Did we really expect competence from a bunch of recycled marxist traitors?
Blair & Hoon should both be prosecuted for Health And Safety breaches. Both were warned beforehand by senior military figures of shortages in bullet proof vests, failings in equipment, boots, rifles, vehicles, etc. They took no action as they did not want any one to know that Blair/Bush had agreed to go to war. This was before the false dossier was produced
need someone to organise retribution.com . An organisation funded by public donation, to go after these fuckers in the courts and strip them of their ill gotten gains and bang them up where possible.

Although Blair has received much criticism for invading/occupying Iraq and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, I feel that people have rather overlooked the enormous benefits of the health and safety legislation that Nu Labour has introduced; the ban on smoking in public places will, alone, save countless lives and I'm quite certain that British soldiers and Iraqi citizens alike are waiting in fervent anticipation for democracy to bestow this favour upon them too - that they might breathe the Bagdhad air with a new freedom.
how do you choose the smelliest turd in the toilet bowl??. on quantity its reid he fucked up all his jobs but bliar and snotty have to take the honours(and sell them of course)
It has to be Blair.
But, while on the subject of Yvette Cooper, has this woman ever bought a house? I have seen her twice on television making the (apparently) clincher point that when one buys a fridge one can look at how the appliance rates for energy efficiency.
Perhaps she should seek advice from the culture secretary on what housebuyers usually regard as priorities.
Sitting at the heart of the web of incompetance is Gordon Brown. If our troops have been denied the full resources they need and even training, it is GB who is ultimately responsible. In addition, virtually every domestic policy fuck up can also be laid at his door.
I beleive that whoever is finally selected as the most incompetant should be drowned in a barrel of his/her own urine.
In the interests of fairness, why not just drown the bloody lot of them!
Are we still taking nominations for the all-time worst? My vote goes to Patsy Hewitt.
Every time I see the woman I want to punch her on the nose, an ambition I share with every single employee of the organisation which has just had its "best year ever."
Ruthie changed sides. She was one of Gordos Gang but didn't know where her loyalty lay. Yvette's untouchable even though HIPS was her "baby".
Ruthie will go along with Patsy. Gordon never forgets nor forgives !

tax-credits alone would have justified his place on the podium
i also blame him for the dogshite I stepped in today
Guido care to comment on the following rumour -
"I am reliably informed by a NuLab Counciller in Bedford that a form of MIRAS will be re-introduced in the near future.
According to her this scheme has already been widely canvassed at Westminster and is seen as a huge vote winner at the next election which is around two years away. The scheme will be announced by Brown shortly after his 'crowning' in a few weeks time. It will be limited to genuine FTBs [first time buyers] and will have a time limit of five years. The tax relief will be limited to the first property purchase and will be non-transferable to subsequent purchases, specifically to prevent property speculation by those to whom it is targetted.
It will be funded by changes to stamp duty thresholds further up the price scale and could be introduced as soon as early 2008. The Couciller said that Brown is determined to protect the interests of the FTB, and house owners generally, as property ownership was seen as a central element in the future prosperity of the UK.
"
Plenty of bubble. Wheres the squeak?
and I effing quote!

who is your friend in the Royal Navy?? Whoever he is is is seriously out of touch. We moved out of BATH to Abbey Wood in Bristol a mere 8 years ago. Methinks you talk botox mon brave!!!
p.s. Who the fuck sensibly doubts she's seriously incompetent???
Guy Fawkes, you and Kelly are both Catholic trash.
If you dig a little (and I mean more than reading your inbox you lazy drunken Irish bastard), you will realize that this woman is known as a complete psychopath in her ministry.
This week's story: marching her children into the office with personal body-guard 'outriders'.
You rely on too many of your readers beleiving you have some prescient insight into Parliament/Whitehall. You don't you muppet.
Regards,
Tom
Agree with Tom, this blog used to funny, incisive and entertaining - it's gone right down the shitter and isn't worth bothering with any more.
@ gareth: "who is your friend in the Royal Navy?? Whoever he is is is seriously out of touch. We moved out of BATH to Abbey Wood in Bristol a mere 8 years ago. Methinks you talk botox mon brave!!! "

So fuck off then
What about Estelle Morris ?
She resigned as Edukayshun Secretary because she was so incompetent she realised it, and had the decency to quit.
In a way very refreshing for these New Labour oiks.
