God help us and the 15 servicemen

So Margaret Beckett should have been demoted after the debacle at Defra re the single farm payment (about time someone said that) I live in a rural area and know of many farmers for whom the single farm payment caused real hardship,anguish, frustration and a great deal of fury. Luckily Margaret was put to one side along with her assistant (husband Leo) so they could not do any harm anywhere important.....DOH! is it any surprise that the Iranians are ignoring our pleas to let the 15 servicemen go. Blair only has himself to blame for putting a complete inept into the FO.
