Well I've just been listening to Ed Balls (on LBC News) trivialising the exceptionally bad weather which swept the UK at the end of last year as akin to
'leaves on the line'. It's odd how, at the time, I seem to recall the his party was slamming HMG's pathetic response to the weather which had brought large parts of the UK to a virtual standstill. Not exactly 'leaves on the line' then was it??
Yes, I doubt he'd be saying quite the same thing if were in power but then this is this the sort of ridiculous spin we all got used to during the Bliar/Brown years and it's coming from a guy who played a key role in what went wrong in the first place.
Nice to know you've absolved yourself and your party from any responsibiltiy for the mess we're in Mr Balls....
