UK political crises!!!

crises crisis whatever.....

What crisis? There's plenty of anxiety, but no crisis per se. This is a Parliamentary Monarchy governed ostensibly by the Labour Party, but in actual fact given their leadership's rightward drift towars the end of the first term into the second one is better regarded as beng governed by a duopoly of the Parliamentary labour party, and a collection of it's dissenters and the parties that make up Her Majesty's Opposition, a system of checks and balances. This produces a static culture within Parliament, which the PM seeks to circumvent by bypassing usual processes (cf the iraq war, one characterised by it's sheer ineivitability once a course of action had been predetermined by the US with UK support). This alienates the central clique of a party from it's grassroots support which is emasculated by a lack of creditable alternatives. There has to be a government. No goveerments are acceptable. This dichotomy has been inherent in British politics since the original creation of the Mother of Parliaments. So no crisis, merely the contradiction which rests at the heart of democracy.

In other news we are breeding children stupid enough to attempt to walk from Southport to Blackpool over a TIDAL ESTUARY. That's a crisis, so's the England middle order, and my dress sense.

Not the MIDDLE order, Mattrosanct, lets not forget that your boy Trescothick isn't exactly setting the world alight.

Yeah, wheareas we can always rely on Smith and Stewart.

Especially at Old Trafford. Anything they do in Manchester is fantastic.

It's nothing short of amazing. I mean really amazing.
