It’s a measure of the trivia that the media serve up that in today’s
papers 60 column/inches are devoted to Brown’s leadership, 57 column/
inches to Miliband’s tactics, 49 to Blair’s memo abouit Brown and
only then do the hacks get round to talking about energy scarcity
with a mere 42 c/i. That is four times as much devoted to leaks,
guesses and spins - none of them particularly new - about our
dysfunctional Labour party than to a looming , and seemingly
unavoidable, shutdown of Britain caused by that party’s total
incompetence.
The country is in any number of simultaneous crises and while the
Labour party is paralysed the Tory party doesn’t seem to have noticed.
Cameron's apparently issued a holiday reading list to all MPs - 28
books in all. Maybe they ought to pay attention to the multiple
crises around them - banks in trouble - government borrowing out-of-
control - unemployment creeping up - repossessions growing - army in
crisis - Tory inertia over Lisbon treaty... to name a few,
Three things to bring to Cameron’s attention perhaps???
1. Telegraph
a. Inquiry into television shows funded by ministers.
Ministers are at the centre of a row over the use of taxpayers’ money
to fund television documentaries. The Government has spent almost £2
million to fund programmes that are all but indistinguishable from
regular shows, The Sunday Telegraph has established.But unlike normal documentaries,
the programmes are commissioned by ministers with the purpose of showing their policies
or activities in a sympathetic light.
b. Polyclinics will be imposed.
Controversial super-surgeries will be forced upon towns and villages
across the country without consultation despite ministers’ promises.

BLACKOUT FEARS IN BRITAIN DUE TO ENERGY CRISIS.
The energy crisis could leave Britain with blackouts.
BRITAIN will be suffering a rolling programme of power blackouts within the next seven years
a senior energy expert warned last night. His stark prophecy predicts the country will be plunged
back to the dark days of the Seventies, when electricity was rationed and hospital staff had to carry
out work by candlelight.
