I like to think you can tell the veracity of a person by the depth of their blush when they perpetrate a faux pas. The deeper the redness the more open and honest they are likely to be.
I bet Gordon the Broon would stay poe -faced even if he was caught pants down and aled up on a Liverpool Street corner at lunch time
Leaning heavily on the 10p rate of tax question, the abolition of which would effect the people in Britain with least responsibility, the young free and single, he ignored with no sense of shame the ravages of fuel costs on ordinary families faced with that damned awkward need to get to work every morning.
Public transport? Do me a favour, you get sacked for being habitually late.
Before the knives start plunging in, he should take a peek at the situation in the US where petrol has reached $4 dollars a gallon. Or two quid to you and I.
The Republican presidential candidate John McCain is proposing suspending the 18 cent federal tax on juice while Florida governor Charlie Crist, is floating the idea of a cut in the 14 cent a gallon state tax.
That could cost the government billions of dollars, reporters said. The government will have to deal with that said Crist.
In America, the government works for the people. In Animal Farm UK the people don’t matter until they come to vote.
Another blush would be nice from those scientists who said by a week on monday the tide would be up to the doorsteps of Lakeland hill farmers. It won’t. A clear case of whoops no apocolypse. Global warming, sneakily renamed climate change, is on the back burner for 10 years. Right lads, you got the research grants, the political consultancies and days on the telly, now do one.
The danger is, however, tha they have told the big lie so often that people will continue accepting tax hikes that have nothing to do with eradicating the effects of cow farts and Range Rover exhaust gasses.
I put it to the jury that on both the charge of Gordon Brownism and the great car carbon con we are all guilty of being turned over like a midnight drunk.

The governement are really sticking it to the working classes at the moment.
(The working class, who now, bizzarly, all think that, mistakenly, beacuse of recent relaxed borrowing and credit regimes, they are middle class )
It's costing me to go to work at the moment.
I was thinking of taking a day off work..
...I may have that Millenium Bug.
I'm worried that our microwave may not work after the stroke of midnight !!!!(Remember that load of nonsenes. I even got a 10 page govt brochure on it. Another money making scam for mad scientists!!!)
Anyway, when was the last time you saw someone poe-faced, aled up and caught with their trousers down on a Liverpool street corner?
There must have been an Advertiser reunion night out that I never got invited to!! (again!!)
