Do They mean Us? (2)

Nice to see that there's going to be a "CrackDown" on a certain type of abuse (not drug-induced).

Until you read on and discover that this will consist of merely "investigating the cost" of the abuse. A hint of the official outcome of the investigation is even disclosed by a Government Minister, who says that "it is not acceptable".

In other words, all Down & no Crack!

As usual, here in Somerset we know the outcome of the investigation before it even starts. The answer, of course, is £200,000,000.

And the miserable yokels are still crying into their cider down at the Dog & Duck. Knowing that we will be able to say "we told you so" is no comfort at all.

SomerBlogging on ...

... despite Alan's precipitate departure following the change of little government?

We had kind of expected things to settle down a bit. You know? But then someone showed us this new blog.

It's one of the "Political" ones, and we would not normally want to comment, but the peculiar thing is that the Party has changed (all the previous ones were to do with the ancien régime and we suspected that some or all were fakes ...).

The other peculiar thing is that we have read through it several times and cannot figure out if it is genuine or a hoax!

As you may recall, we are always alert to the possibility of fakes ....

Any enlightenment would be welcome. On this, or indeed, any other matter!
