Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. (William Morris - A Dream of John Ball)

Calls for Blair to go straight?

I see from today’s Grauniad that an unnamed backbencher calls for the Prime Minister to go straight after the May elections.

That seems a little unfair as it seems to assume he will be found guilty of some misdeed and have to go straight upon his subsequent release.

Still at least his mate John will press ahead with privatisation of the criminal justice system so he can enjoy both competitive incarceration and rehabilitation should it come to that.

Of course, if I have misread the punctuation and the comment is simply about the timing of Blair’s departure then I would simply observe that the Labour Party won’t benefit from that unless we also see a change of direction.
