The Ministry of Silly Talk

By admin • April 14, 2007

Dizzy has an interesting update on the “now you see it-now you don’t” Gordon Brown leadership campaign website:

Following on from the gordon4leader story, apparently the Treasury has now denied that it has ever worked with Silverfish TV. This is odd given that Silverfish’s website (which mysteriously went to “Under Construction” some time int he past 48 hours) said that they did.

They are doing it again (cf Cash for Honours). In this case the issue itself is minor. Public denial that there is any issue is a far bigger problem.

The “that is not an elephant in the corner, it is part of the wallpaper” defence does not wash any more - especially for New Labour.

Idiots.

I await the “it was a server problem that a junior employee failed to fix” defence with interest.
