Well at least you've got the republicans out.

If the current crop of right wingers were still in power, you would be reading this morning of how terrorists had managed to blow a plane up, because the government had refused to waste money on some item of security infrastructure that might have prevented it.

And moreover the war on terror would mean you had invade another country; start another war that would leave young man and women being killed because the government won't finance the army properly.

How do I know? Cos we've had our share of right wing hypocrites in office in England.
