Deleting From The Dictionary

The last two weeks have shown us that Tony Blair’s powers, far from being diminished, have in fact increased vastly. For he has been able to delete a word from the dictionary. The word is, ‘resign’. A cabinet minister doesn’t resign for presiding over dangerous incompetence in his department (Charles Clarke), nor for serious moral failure and the use of Government premises to further it (John Prescott), nor for crass ineptitude (Patricia Hewitt telling nurses facing redundancy the NHS has had its best ever year).

So to cheer us all up here is a song for Charles Clarke.
