The politics of fear

Election time again and Labour resorts to the politics of fear. I predicted weeks ago that when Brown saw his ratings plummet he would find or create some disaster that would make him appear statesmanlike. It could be said that FMD was deliberately released by the govt to do the same and I really though it would be terrorist activity not a volcano.

The volcano is looking more like an omen, not an opportunity for statesmanlike activity, and anyway, aircraft carriers are too big for Calais Harbour and the sea-lanes to it too narrow.

The closed airspace policy seems to have failed. Brown blew it big time, having promised to sort it all out nothing has happened that would not have been done anyway.

So what next? At least we know it won’t be tanks at Heathrow!
