Reform the Lords NOW!

Yes its another Lord with no interest at all in dismissing the concerns of the environmental movement (and in this case virtually all the worlds scientists).

One question for Lord Global Warming is going to be good for Siberia Wakeham (yeah sure it is - when its underwater you can drill for oil there without bothering about permafrost OR uppity locals - though doesn't Roman Aabramovitch own them all anyway...): As a former Director of Enron (yes, remember them) WHY AREN'T YOU IN PRISON?

Meanwhile Blair defends Asbo tsar's gaffe ... it all sounded quite amusing really and where on earth did the idea that she was criticising Charles Clarke come from, maybe they didn't play that bit of the tape - on the whole however I'm sure he'd broadly approve of the woman's apparent approach to her job (that is as far as I can go...)

HOWEVER it isn't funny. Its one law for them and one for us as usual. New Labour's New Establishment once again casts its eye back to what it claims it wanted to replace with an envious air.

The thing is that Louise, ranting in her 'accountant goes out on the town' manner about how great it is to be drunk misses the point - in her imaginary Asbo-land someone might nick her laptop or take a mobile photo of her flashing her nickers to picture-message to their mates but where she's invited out to speak by her 'friends' in the real establishment, they will tape her drunken ramblings and send them to David Davis and the press.

Now who looks like the fool who can't hold their drink Louise? Maybe we Tony will Asbo you for being drunk in charge of the cabinet office' reputation; it would befairer than the poor autistic kid who got Asbo'd for staring at his neighbour!

Lets face it Louise you can't have it both ways, introduce village justice and you might just end up losing the respect of the villagers too - then maybe it'll be you tied to a metaphoric lamp-post for the child-catcher to collect after your next big night out...
