Not cheering the resignation of Wacky Jacqui Smith yet.

a) It's not a cert, is it? oh, never mind me, everyone's reporting it now.
b) I fear another fryingpan/fire interchange. If there is anyone more incompetent and more pointlessly authoritarian than Jacqui Smith, then Gordon Brown will have their number on speed dial. That's a given.

Remember when Michael Howard was a lunatic? Ha!

I don't know if it's the job role making them crazy or if the people who end up in it are already mental. But each time I think I can't dislike the new one any more than the last, they come out with something even more offensive/dictatorial to top previous policy.

Was Jack Straw Home Secretary back in the day? If so, they've all gone downhill rapidly since then.

Jack Straw was the first New Labour Home Sec. He seemed to be even more of a lunatic than Michael Howard, and Michael Howard was a bloody lunatic. And as you say, they've gone downhill since then.

How come each new Home Secretary really is more lunatic than the last. I suspect Brown's going to reanimate Stalin's corpse for this next round...
