		<description><![CDATA[Governments big or small, of themselves have little positive to offer society apart from creating the right mood and environment/framework for society to work within. As an example, Governments do not create anything, they certainly don't create wealth which can only come from the private sector.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Out of frustration with a "Nanny Knows Best" Government that had wrecked the economy, MPs expenses were used by the public as a stick to beat with but frankly enough of this nonsense and high time we moved on. For 30 years, there was a complete lack of courage by politicians of all parties to deal with MPs salaries and costs on the basis that "It wouldn't look good..." Well this looks hardly better and has cost us a clearly talented Minister.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The oddest thing about Labour going into Opposition is the complete absence of Gordon Brown, this “Political Colossus” as he was often called has disappeared from from the face of British politics. That he would continue on the backbenches as an MP is rather like a Lottery Winner swearing to carry on with his job as a Dustman, is likely a load of bullshit as well as not terribly practical. It reminds me of a description of “Fame”: Stick your hand in a bucket of water, swish it all around and then remove your hand. Once the water has settled again, no one knows that your hand was even there.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With Gordon Brown&#8217;s departure from Downing Street yesterday and his also standing down as Labour Leader with immediate effect, there will be a Labour leadership contest in the fairly immediate future and this raises some interesting forward projections. Donald Macintyre wrote an article in the Independent on this but frankly, I don&#8217;t think that he [...]]]></description>
