Comments on: Beverley Hughes/Immigration http://downingstreetsays.com/briefings/2004/03/15/353 Every day the Prime Minister's Spokesman meets a small coterie of political journalists known as 'the lobby' for a topical chat, or 'briefing'.

This expose' will no doubt ruffle the feathers of the PC brigade and cause alarm among the fatcat lawyers making money out of corruption. But the public have had enough, and they don't trust the Tories or Liberals either. So who will stand up for us now?

It seems there is no ministerial responsibility any more. The Government is always saying that the public must take responsibility for all manner of things whether it's pensions, drinking truancy or eating. Until they start taking responsibility for their own actions, the public never will. Maybe Blair should introduce on the spot fines for his ministers who screw up and get the police to march them to a cashpoint machine to pay them!
