i like to bash labour ministers as much as...

....the next person but to slate them for taking their summer holidays at a time of crisis is a nonsense. Especialy given the wonders of modern technology which should mean at the very least they will be accessable and could holiday anywhere in the world and still be back inside fo 24 hours and be in near constant communication for the journey.

Also if a few cabinet ministers being away on holiday is likely to cause a problem then we are all f****d, as they are generaly clowns and if we are relying on likes of Jack Straw and Charles Clarke to keep us safe then as the scottish one fae Dads Army would say "we're doomed, we're all doomed!"
