David Milliband –safe pair of hands?
Arriving in Aberystwyth from North Wales- well done the gritters.After a good curry I settle down to watch Dragon’s Eye and a masterly exposition of our Welsh language policy from Lisa Francis.Lorraine Barrett contrived to make it sound as if there was a plot to insist that we all speak some rare dialect of Serbo Croat and condemened it as an election gimmick. Labour seem determined not to review the existing Act. I think that is a mistake.
There followed Question Time and Ken Clarke effortlessly dismisssive of the government and David Milliband splendidly revealing when he said that he expected in less than a year people would be booing Brown and begging for Blair to come back.Well I suspect that one part of that assertion could well turn out to be true! Poor David as soon as he said it I think he realised the gaffe and Gordon known more for his grumpiness than for his magnanimity may not forgive!

You totally took Mr Milliband’s comment out of context, and as a politician who im sure has been misquoted you must understand that…
He was merely indicating that people will always have grievance with the government of the time, and that people in retrospect are less harsh to the previous government. Without this the tories would never get near power after the pathetic Major years!!!
