It’s never occurred to me that ‘Mandy’ is a homophobic.. it’s just a natural shortening of his name. If his name were ‘Randleson’ he’d be known as Randy, simple as that. You’re being way too cynical…

Oh and I meant to add that it’s not helped by Mr Mandelson’s television advert for his book’s serialisation.

Fair comment and worth challenging in future, but totally indicative of the way the media have taken to reporting politics as a soap opera rather than a democratic process. qv the whole Mandelson V Blair fight over who dislikes Gordon Brown the most (as portrayed in the coverage of their books).

It’s not helped by business in the House of Commons being conducted in a rather puerile manner.
Take the tendency of recent Prime Ministers to use their PMQT as an opportunity to slag off (sic) the opposition rather than answer questions.

Incidentally Harriet Harman handled the prevaricating PM very well earlier this week. Why aren’t they able to cite which targets have been successful and clinically useful, and therefore worth keeping?
The data is there.

To answer my own question, because they’d rather use the opportunity to criticise what has gone before, distracting attention from various plans they’d like steamrollered through in the name of “savings”.

Hey Dave,

what a wonderful way to get involved.
I’m working with deaf and multiple disabled people (they’re not blind though).
It’s always beautiful to see their happy faces when they’re making music.
Keep up the good work!
