Nobody Running UK.

Thank god for that. I like ridiculing the extravagant freeloading of Blair and Prescott as much as the next blogger, but the idea that whilst they are on holiday the country isn't being run is preposterous as says as much about the vanity of the political class. Parliament good safely shut down for 10 months of the year and the Prime Minister could bugger off to Sierra Leonne for the same amount of time and it would make very little difference to the functioning of the country. This is a good thing too, the idea of one man at the top managing 60 million people on a day to day basis would lead to a country that was about efficient as North Korea.
