But politicians are politicians and whatever the colour - they usually make a pigs ear out of things.

To my mind it was Benn and Wilson who cemented the demise of the U.K. car industry by their belligerent insistence that BMH and Leyland merge.

Tony Benn in particular was guilty IMO - of bizarre swively eyed lunacy on a regular basis. Even Harold Wilson described him as becoming more immature with age.

After 66 years on this planet - with 50 of them being intensely interested in our politicians stupidity - I am just as bemused and suffer the same despair now as I did as a young adult.
