THE LADY RESIGNS AND SAYS NO WINDOW DRESSING FOR HER, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I don’t suppose most in the USA or anywhere outside the UK are too much interested in the recent political scandal that has the present govt. in meltdown.

What many of the so called representatives of the people have done is indeed scandalous. In fact, there is every reason to believe some is even criminal. 

The fat cats who sit on their collective backsides making laws and rules that OTHERS will have to endure have the public in a snit. They avoid taxes, make false financial claims on the taxpayer etc. No point in going over old territory again here.
This is another facet of political mindset.  There are those who will disagree but I think it’s rather hypocritical and offer the following.

An MP named Caroline Flint has left the govt. Talk about a snit. Or maybe a woman scorned?
One day she spoke of her continued support of the PM, who many want out of office.  Unsaid at the time was that she fully expected a promotion to another job, which she didn’t get.
Now then, she may well have had a legitimate complaint about that. I wouldn’t know.
What we all do know is that the next day she quit in a huff and issued a scathing report to the press on her former boss, the PM, Gordon Brown.

She accused him of running an old boys club for one thing.  Well, again. I wouldn’t know. Perhaps he was.
But ... she then went on to claim that she was tired of being “used as window dressing” for his administration.

Now then, ok. Sure nuff. I can understand a lady wanting to be appreciated for her abilities and I am all for that. Really I am. Not that looks count for nothing. Of course they do. It’s just human nature the left seems intent on denying so often. But here BMEWS.

Here are a couple of photos.  Do these appear to you to be the product of someone who doesn’t approve of window dressing?
I do understand her point but if what she accuses the PM of is the truth, the whole truth yadda,yadda; Why wait so long to expose it? Or, was it okay as long as it worked for her.

Caroline Flint resigns as she accuses Gordon Brown of treating her like ‘female window dressing’
Caroline Flint has accused Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, of treating her like “female window dressing” in a damning letter announcing her resignation as Europe Minister.

THE TELEGRAPH

On only Thursday night Miss Flint insisted she was “very proud” to be a member of Mr Brown’s Government and would not be leaving it.

But the Prime Minister told a press conference on Friday afternoon that she was in fact stepping down after refusing an enhanced role as Europe Minister. 

He said she “was and has been a very good minister”, adding: “I asked Caroline if she would take on the job attending the Cabinet so she would be present at every Cabinet meeting.

“Unfortunately she didn’t see it that way and that’s where it’s left.”

In her resignation letter Miss Flint berated Gordon Brown for treating her and her other women colleagues as “female window dressing”.

She wrote: “I have the greatest respect for the women who have served as full members of Cabinet and for those who attend as and when required. However, few are allowed into your inner circle.

“Several of the women attending Cabinet – myself included – have been treated by you as little more than female window dressing. I am not willing to attend Cabinet in a peripheral capacity any longer.”

She also accused the Prime Minister of operating a “two-tier Government: your inner circle and the remainder of the Cabinet” and said he had “strained every sinew” of her loyalty.

Miss Flint’s is the latest of a spate of ministerial resignations in recent days – which she vowed on Thursday night not to join.

Speaking to the BBC, she said: “I am staying in the Government.

“I have spent my entire ministerial career for six years now serving Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, and I am very proud to be in a Labour Government and very proud to be part of Gordon Brown’s Government.”

Miss Flint is to be replaced by Glenys Kinnock, the wife of ex-Labour leader Neil Kinnock, the Prime Minister said.

Mrs Kinnock will join the House of Lords immediately, he added.

Mrs Kinnock will join the House.

Oh my,oh my.  The govt. moves more to the far left every day. Or it seems that way.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
