Unfortunately, I think it sometimes is. More often than not in fact.markfiend wrote: The thing that alarmed me was the various MPs on Newsnight last night calling Blunkett a "populist" Is it really populist to make significant dents in civil liberties in the name of "safety"? (Rhetorical question I'm afraid.)

well, yes, most people will bend the rules now and again. but if we get caught we get the sack rather than have our boss set up an enquiry with the aim of getting us off the hook.Brideoffrankenstein wrote:I feel a bit sorry for him actually. Fast tracking that visa application and all that. Everyone helps out their mates/family if their job gives them the power to don't they?!
and the home secretary can't fast-track a visa application for his lover's nanny. or give her a free rail ticket. or ferry her about in his ministerial car. or re-direct police resources to keep an eye on her house. oh no, hang on, he can do all those things but when he gets caught doing them he has to go.Obviously I can't give my mates free drugs from my work but you know what I mean right?!

Oooh, how exciting, my first! I found it immensely frustrating watching the 1997 and 2001 ones (I even remember '92), and not being able to have any impact on them whatsoever. Well, this time...
