There is one point that the left wing will be keen not to bring up while attempting to attack their opposing numbers ...... Apparently Mr Green is the first politician to resign for "lying to parliament" since John Profumo ........ astounding when you look back on the Bliar and Mandy years. (incidentally I believe the last minister to resign (and mean it and keep to it) for being being titularly responsible as head of department for a major cock up was ...... Lord Carrington)For those who don't remember that far back, He was the Foreign Minister (for a only a short period prior) during the invasion of the Falklands by Argentina Robin Cook?

When I lived in Ramsgate, I once got caught out in a lie when I phoned an employer to say that I wouldn't be able to get to work tomorrow because I was stuck in Staffordshire. When he confronted me about my lies, I fessed up and said "How did you know?" He said "When you phoned, I could hear the seagulls in the background". I never had a day off work for sickness in 45 years (being shot doesn't count) but I had loads of uncles who died and I had to attend their funerals, which is the kind of excuse that no employer will challenge (not the first time anyway). I've had one day off in 16 years when I was hospitised the last few days have been difficult where I've been running a fever. However I've built up seven months full sick pay allowance. If I have to keep running myself into the ground they may find me getting signed off for some time.
