Darlings risks GBP 182 million (of your money) per job(aka vote) in Northern Rocks Labour heartlands.
The number of North East Northern Rock employees 5,500.
The amount of tax payers money risked by Labour for reasons of political expediency GBP 100 Billion.
The amount per vote job is therefore 100,000,000,000/5500 = GBP 182 million at risk per job.
It would have been cheaper to have given each employee GBP 1 million to go home.
Surely Darling and Brown must now resign ? They are starting to make Denis Healey look talented.
I’m afraid Rowan Williams has shown himself unsuited to being Archbishop. He has given great encouragement to those fundamentalist who believe in turning Western Europe into an Islamic State by force and Jihad. ( It is reported elsewhere that edited versions of his comments are on loop in the middle east’s media ).
Muslims who don’t want to be oppressed by Sharia have had the ground knocked from under them.
He has shown great weakness to the Muslim world who will see this as confirmation of the superiority and inevitability of Islamic dominance. ( Add the Bishop of Oxford’s surrender of large areas of his diocese into this. )
Yes I know he didn’t say this. But it is the meaning being derived from what he said and these assertions were easily predictable. Hence his unsuitability to lead the Church of England or any other public body.
Christ had the wisdom not to fall into the traps of his questioners and not to say some things until the right time. Rowan Williams clearly lacks this.
He is no doubt of good man, and maybe a great man with great learning, humility and compassion. But he must still resign and the clergy must tell him to go.
