DIMWITS MAKE A COMEBACK.

Unfortunately they are not a vaudeville act, but a group of Nottingham Labour MPs, living in their stupid little world of large debt, kicking up a rumpus regarding the review of two major transport projects under renewed consideration, because of cost; now there's a shock. The first, due to start later this year, is the dualling of the A453 from the city to the MI. This is an important requirement, the road being the major artery serving the city from the south, with a view to increased commerce. The second is the ridiculous tram extension, a subject we have covered on previous occasions: ON TRACK FOR A MAMMOTH OVERSPEND (2/8/09) plus, THE TRAM TO FINANCIAL RUIN (9/2/10). These, along with the plan to bring pensions in line with average earnings during 2012, which unfortunately cannot happen, because of New Labour's appalling mishandling of the economy, were, of course, suggested as part of a minefield, in anticipation of the latter's ultimate removal from office; giving them the opportunity to pull funny faces from the opposition benches.


HOW CAN A MATURE SOCIETY TOLERATE THESE FOOLS?
