New Labour Spin reaches New Depths of Deceit

All steps seem now being taken to ensure that Brown's accession to the premiership can proceed without hitch in spite of ever growing daily evidence of his own extraordinary incompetence. Yesterday a damning indictment of that surly Scot's personal flagship legislation, the Tax Credit System, was made public, a summary of which may be read from a Reuter's report, linked here. We must presume that on the basis of earlier New Labour practice of rushing out bad news to disguise incompetence as on 11th September 2001, similar steps were taken yesterday afternoon to protect the reputation of Labour's heir apparent. To the continuing shame of all the mainstream media this ploy seems to have succeeded. The Today programme listing Labour's present failures mentioned neither the inquiries into the sickening corruption allegations nor the huge Tax Credit overpayments - merely Charles Clarke's dreadful incompetence, the Health Secretary's shameful mismanagement of the NHS and the Deputy Prime Minister's adultery. Quite a coup, but it has continued and grown worse throughout the day, the presumed short term discomfort of the other ministers so named - all still clinging to office this evening - apparently being considered as well worth while in the broader scheme of maintaining this corrupt clique in power. After all Jowell and Kelly, so recently objects of similar media attacks, relaxing and wallowing in their continuing ministerial perks provide sufficient evidence of the charade that the fourth estate needs anymore to be feared. Watching the PM at his press conference this week, facing his apparently supine and adoring co-conspirators in the complete degradation of the country, was a sickening sight that could have left few of the properly informed unashamed. Surely, all within the Westminster circle must be well aware of the depths to which this administration has sunk? The Chancellor was, very unusually, nowhere in evidence at today's PMQ. As was reported in last week's Sunday Telegraph -'Transparency International' has listed more than fifty questions regarding possible corruption that the most senior members of the present British Government should now be answering to the police. Others of the Cabinet should by now have resigned given their own proven incompetence. Where was Brown today? Redditch some say - if so WHY? What is his response to the disgusting fiasco that is his Tax Credit programme and why are the MSM burying that story?
