Call me paranoid but I’m very sceptical that, while Home Secretary David “Welcome All Comers with Open Chequebooks” Blunkett is convalescing after undergoing stomach surgery yesterday, John “Two Left Feet” Prescott should be given responsibility for all counter terrorism organisations in the interim.
Given that no one can understand a bloody word Prescott says and even his own colleagues think he’s a joke, how is he going to direct the police and the intelligence services to protect this country against terrorist threats when the government he serves has an open door policy making it absurdly easy for bastards intent upon mass murder to sneak in disguised as inadequately scrutinized asylum seekers?
If the police and the intelligence services are as well equipped as the armed forces being mobilised to fight Saddam then I think we are all in very deep shit.

Anyone know how much an Australian or New Zealand passport costs these days?
