Brown... What Is He Good For?

It was the Queens Speech today and the Prime Minister set out his agenda for the next year. And what a crap agenda it is...

Terrorism - Post-charge questioning and possible extension of pre-charge detention beyond 28 days

Wonderful... let's lock all these people who might be dangerous up without trial...

Education - Raises age of youngsters in education or training to 18

Why give people a choice? That'd be crazy...

Energy - Bill paving the way for new generation of nuclear power plants

Well, let's be honest... it won't be Mr Brown who has to clear up the nuclear waste. You know... that stuff which will be around probably longer than us humans, to reap death and destruction on the unwary for eons to come.

Climate change - New powers to meet target of cutting CO2 by 60% by 2050

Fingers crossed for this one Gordon.

Constitutional reform - Give MPs formal say over going to war

Can't argue with that one.

Health - New regulator with power to fine hospitals which fail to meet hygiene standards

I bet the regulator decides we need more private investment...

Work: Consider extending flexible working to parents of older children

Why not bloody give flexible working for everyone. Having a child isn't exactly that amazing.
