No it shouldn't. He should stand trial and be executed no matter what state his physical or mental health is in.Originally posted by dx4100 View PostHow did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Everything governments do, in particular this one, is for calculated political gain.
Since nothing gets published to the public without Downing St. approval, one wonders where the political gain is in this announcement.
It can hardly be a "sympathy announcement", to help bolster Brown's ratings.
Therefore it can only be a "foreshadowing announcement", so that when Brown is replaced later this year, the general public will understand that it is on "health reasons", and not lack of performance.
This damages the party less than an MP revolt and coup d'état.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Anyway. I don't see how his diminishing eyesight precludes him from doing the job. David Blunket is completely blind and he was a fine Home Secretary - oh, no, wait...
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

His foresight has always been an issue though.Originally posted by dx4100 View PostOh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.Comment
