Farewell, Sweet Clarke
Hi, first post for months, but I intend to revive this blog over the next few weeks.
Latest news is that Charles Clarke has been replaced at the home office by John Reid. This may therefore be the last excuse for me to post these two remarkably similar pictures. Can you tell which is which?
I don’t want to fall into the trap that Backing Blair outlined earlier this morning of being distracted by a reshuffle when the real story is of Labour’s disasterous local election results. But here’s just one prediction: after a couple of months of John Reid, we’ll be clamouring for Pob Charles Clarke’s return. Reid will be even more contemptuous of civil liberties (except for the freedom from getting blown up, of course) than Clarke.
