.. on the reshuffle It's about time this Government started practising what it preaches. It says we're all living beyond our means and need to cut back spending. OK, let's cut back the number of ministers for starters. There are far too many of the little bleeders, all drawing fat salaries for riding round in limos and having their pictures taken talking to kids in ‘community' centres. What we expect is to see a big cut in the salary bill for government after this reshuffle. We need less, not more Cabinet ministers. I dunno what that bloke Ken Clarke is supposed to be doing, rattling round Whitehall interfering with George Osborne, but I assume he's off the payroll. There's this unholy alliance in which civil servants, also on fat salaries and index-linked pensions, find pointless jobs for these ministers to do so they look busy and, of course, the more ministers there are the more they need civil servants. I mean, none of them actually do anything. They're as useful as a guff in a tent. No-one even knows who they are. If the entire Cabinet fell under a bus none of us would be any wiser. Instead of the papers boring us to death about whether one non-entity is being replaced by another they should do us all a favour and ask our opinion, which is – we don't give toss, you're all a waste of space and cost us a packet, so why don't the lot of you sling yer hook…
