The hypocrisy of this New Labour government is breathtaking. Here’s Ruth Kelly wriggling like a flounder on a hook - a male flounder that is, don’t you find her looks somewhat androgynous. She’s just one step away from dungarees and a ban the bomb button. Anyway, she’s been back tracking, side tracking, up and down tracking and looking for any exit strategy that will afford her credence and allow her to justify the employment of sex offenders in schools in her happy clappy lefty world, where committees of pipe smoking, bearded (would have been), open toed, patchouli oiled hippy minded, gay whale savers review each situation with “understanding” and ultimately come up with a wet wishy washy policy.


On the one hand you’ve got the Sun Newspaper strategy, which is ‘lets appeal to the lowest common denominator and incite them to violence and vigilantism by whipping up a frenzy of hate to sell more newspapers, selling them to people who are themselves just one step higher on the social rung and seeing someone worse than themselves, become filled with moral hatred turning them into uncontrolled loonies. Then on the other you’ve got the lefty intellectuals of the government saying, ‘Okay we probably can trust them even though they crossed the line once before but lets give them another chance at working with children. WRONG!!!.’ You just can’t win. There seems to be no middle ground where common sense prevails i.e. ‘Right, so we can’t trust these guys and gals to behave around kids, but we’ll let them back into society as they’ve done their time and keep them the heck away from vulnerable groups and potential victims in areas such as schools, sports training, swimming instructors etc. It couldn’t be simpler. Meanwhile that young chap Kelly has her staff busy this week searching records, looking back 30 years to see if she can divert attention from herself and pass the blame onto.... yes you guessed it, The Conservatives, searching for their past indiscretions in this area. Look lad, you’ve had years to put right what previous subsequent governments got wrong, the responsibility is wholly yours. Stop blaming history for your failings. Put the present right.


Frankly you should resign Ms Kelly and let someone more competent and more socially aware do your job. Maybe you should be on list 99 as you are in effect complicit. This is going to be another Jo Moore / Steven Buyers case where the so obviously inept hang on and hang on until the public stand up as one and demand your resignation, so go now whilst you can retain some dignity lad. Mr Blair, you should go too as you back her decision to the hilt it appears. If you support her so vocally then you clearly do. That makes you a liability too.... like we didn’t already know that with all the lies you’ve fed the public about Iraq.
